My 35is Build Thread

[gwatson]

Hmmmm yeah, that's not ideal, still an improvement though.

Perhaps the difference with the lower powerful ones would be less obvious.

hi, do you have their e-mail address? thanks

I wrote them to this address [email protected], but no answer yet

No, only contact via eBay. Sorry.

I'd like to find a way to put carbon fibre effect tips on the exhausts. The stock ones look shite. But it is a cutting job on the exhaust to do and I am not sure I want to do that. Not sure Machine Monkey does ones for the 35is that slip over and tighten from underneath.

You mean slip on cover tips like this that sit on top of the stock ones...



I am working on these, don't want to cut anything as my car is under warranty. So covers are the way to go, that's how they look on my car so far.

Sorry if I'm hijacking the thread but there were a few questions about the Fizzmo LED's.

I've purchased the 160w (75 quid) - one of them was faulty which I'm on the process of returning.

I can't say I'm very pleased with the results I'm afraid. The second halo ring barely lights up, though it looks ok with the Xenons on.

No worries mate, we're all here to help each other. Hmm from your photo paying the extra may not be worth it, I will try take a photo of mine under similar lighting conditions, will be hard as working during the day and its dark by the time I get home.

Looks great man. Well done.
Tell me exactly what wheels (size as well) and tyres you have please. Frort and rear.

19" Fox Motorsport MS007 in Carbon Grey. Tyres are Continental 295/35/19 and 275/30/19 - wide wheels and tyres, but sit perfect and lots of grip, needed for the 35is.

Hope to get a photo next to yours at a meet.

Great looking Zed OP!

BTW - Did you have any issues changing the H8 Led?

I've ordered the same as yours (Fizzmo H8) - but I cannot seem to get them to twist to lock position.

No trouble, I had Fizzmo bulbs on my E92, so learnt on that. It does help if you have slim skinny long fingers. Took me a few mins per side.

WOW! Really? 295/35 in the rear or are they 295/30?
and 275mm front, not 255?
Any rubbing front or rear? What width are your wheels?

Absolutely love the carbon treatment. I had sourced a Splitter but it was Matte Black not Carbon. However fraction of price at £120 however I’d need to fit it myself which I’m not overly keen of doing!

Question for you when they fitted it did they drill holes into the bumper or the chassis of the car?

Also the side skirts do you they do a package where you can have all of it done? Cheers!

 

[gusTaco]

Just an update - got the wiring and bulb replaced by the vendor, so I'll retract my previous statement as I am quite happy with the result !

 

[gwatson]

Good news, that does look a lot better. Result!

Sounds like they may have a quality control issue though.

 

[tintoverano]

I mentioned your troubles to the vendor and that I was not gonna buy till you're happy and I saw it :wink:

 

[BeardyJon]

What do you guys think?

Really like these side skirt extensions and the front splitter. Where did you get the side skirts from?

The front splitter is a direct bolt on, no drilling needed. You have to undo several bolts from under the car, put the splitter in place, then redo the bolts, job done and its installed.

So much better, I am really pleased for you!

Did they upgrade you to another model? Can you confirm which ones they are, I'd like to get the same now.

 

[red_35is]

A tease for my next "upgrade"...

I’ve seen the carbon tips , I like them, but are you saying they can’t just be fitted over the existing tips?

Yes, that is what I am saying. The stock factory exhaust pipe tips have to be hacksawed off and replacements reattached - at least that's what I have managed to gather from researching this. A right faff.... I wish there was a Carbon Fibre option that could be screwed over the existing (stock) tips. I am all ears if someone knows a way to do this.

Thanks mate.

No it was the same kit I ordered for 75 quid. I guess I just had a faulty bulb which was replaced by vendor.

Yeh, that’s what I was hoping for, thought the carbon tips just slid over the standard tips, with some sort of screw to hold them in place.

There seem to be carbon slip over tips available in various diameters, but can’t see any screw on them to hold them in place like mm tips have.
They appear to just slide over the tips.
Not sure of size for 30i, would have to measure, but then unless they were an incredibly good fit, not sure they would stay on, unless you drilled a small hole in the underside of the tips and put a screw in to hold tip in place?

Indeed, but I cannot find any such CF tips that are place over and bolt on for the 35is. If anyone finds them then please share. would make a massive difference I think to the rear fo the car.

will send you the exact link you need to order for your 35is exhaust once I've got them installed with a solid clip, just give me a little time, I will try to put a" how to" guide together. Plus I need to showcase my latest mod!
