Got my dream car and really want to start changing stuff on it :D
Need to change the wheels and change the color of the brake calipers for suuuure and get the badge back on the side indicators.
Any recommendations for wheels? 18/19 inch, they would Need to be black or dark grey and I was thinking of just painting the calipers black.
Was thinking of also getting these angel eye headlights, anyone have any experience with them?

I really want the M Nappa carbon leather interior dash piece but finding one seems to be impossible.

Was thinking of the Vorsteiner V-FF 106 wheels or the HRE 590RS's but alternatives would be much appreciated.

Any other changes you guys would do?? Feel free :)

Haha YEP! Needs a few things doing to it but gonna make it my own in no time.
 
Wow! What a car at 22! I was driving a £1500 E36 318is, my first half decent car! Do some research and do what YOU want to it, don't worry too much about others opinions/tastes, it's your car. Great taste by the way, I'm on my second coupe, these cars are addictive as others on here will testify to. Enjoy!
 
Very nice! Congrats! I think i saw that one on Autotrader when i was looking for mine.
Do you know what exhaust tips those are?
 
Hi and welcome OP. :thumbsup:

Car looks mostly lovely, but I'm also not a fan of the wheels or the brake caliper colour. But then if you plan to modify it that isn't an issue for you anyway!

Z4C at 22 - if only! I had a Rover P6 3500S at that age because I couldn't insure a 3 litre Capri! Life is treating you well, so all you have to do is enjoy it. 8)

I'm also on my 2nd E86 - they seem to be a bit addictive!

Enjoy. :driving:

Really! Hmm very weird, I personally couldn't see much wrong with it other than the things mentioned and a few scratches and chips here and there. You have me a little concerned now I didn't think it had been for so sale for so long.....It also sounds amazing as well hmmm maybe I missed something. I'm getting it fully serviced this week so hopefully I didn't miss anything :?

I honestly think it's the marmite mods that stopped it from selling :)

the wheels, the calipers, the interior(not a mod but an "odd" colour) and the fact that it's an auto(I believe can't remember the ad now)

How much did you end up paying for it if you don't mind me asking? Last I saw it was on for 7k ish?

ah right! I may have missed it then :) 7k is not a good price for the car :) just get it serviced and looked over properly and it should be fine.
