Nearly $300 on the web site. Look good though 8)

The JB4 reads good, what can you tell us about it, feedback wise...

I have been researching some other options from the Remus powerizer to the superchips stage 1 takes power to 275/300bhp depending who you believe :driving:

Which site did you get the carbon mirror caps from, mate? I can't seem to find any under the £280 mark? I bought some cheap stick-on's from China but they look bloody terrible!
 
I got mine from USA cost about £350 - postage and tax if I remember correctly

I haven't done my wing mirrors, it was one of the others, probably Twin Turbo`s car :thumbsup:
 
I just put all black TSW Mirabeau wheels on my alpine white 35is. They look nice. I chose to downsize from 19s to 18s. The combination of the new light wheels and ditching the ridiculous run flat tires is phenomenal. The car still feels taught and stiff but not bone jarring. I now have loads more grip and I no longer wince when hit a bump in sport mode. The roads are utter s**t where i live so I'm quite happy with my decision. There are lots of folks on the forum that profess that 19s "just look better" I don't get it. Especially with a black wheel and a black tire. The difference in look is barely noticeable if at all. The total circumference is the same. ... I'll post some pics soon.
 
Hi all,

Loving this thread! I'm in the process of making my E89 completely black and white, only exception is the yellow calipers which I prefer to red on the B&W combo. Just did the Grill yesterday and next up are the front and rear lights like Twin Turbos, Love that car...

 
Love this combination and its definitely what im looking for for my Z when i find it.
Some gorgeous pics in this thread :thumbsup:
 
All of them look beautiful and unique. I have no favorite. The car is a work of art, and a palette for various interpretations.
As a photographer, I do enjoy the Metallic grays and silvers and especially the Orion Gold because of the subtle way that the sculpture lines capture highlights. The white of course is highlighted by contrasts, like red and black, and the M stripes really are a nice eye candy. How far you go with it is entirely up to you and there is IMHO no correct answer.
 
Loving the wheels, couple of them above are the same as mine which is what I wanted to see so I could see what they look like thanks. The more the merrier though all adds to the inspiration :thumbsup:

Roof looks good too, is it painted or Vinyl. Looks painted to me?

Got to find the time to get my wheels off for 4 days...

Would be interested to see if you find an induction kit. I can't find one anywhere for mine.

After reading there is no technical benefit of having an induction kit, only for acoustic sound.

I thought I would give an update on the car, since last list of modifications.

*Stubby aerial
*EBC Yellow Stuff Break pads
*Wagner Downpipes
*Now Stage II tune - estimated BHP 300+
*Thinkware Camera -with Speed camera & collision warning system - front and rear camera.

Waiting for winter tyres to come of before replacing with some Michelin Super Sports
Still debating over having KW3 fitted
 
Here is my black wheels, wing mirror combo :)

Very nice :thumbsup:

Still haven't got round to doing anything but washing, cleaning and driving mine... :rofl:

Roll on the summer :driving:
 
Hi Twin turbo

I got lucky and sourced a used pair off e bay that had been carbon dipped. Cost me £100. Think it would cost the same to take to a local expert, just google carbon dipping.

Not a white car but you get the gist... I think the 326m is a lovely wheel and you kind of lose the detail when done in black, so I had mine done in carbon grey with black inners (any excuse to post a pic up :oops: )

Damn Lux, they look good.. :thumbsup:
Mine need refurb'ing, and was toying with doing something different with them. Just hadn't seen anything I liked on a silver E89 till now. How have they worn?
My only other consideration is whether the refurb will be more than a set of new after market wheels...
 
That does look goood :thumbsup:

I just noticed I now have 3 threads going on this topic... :cry:

FInally after much deliberation... I am going to take the plunge and do my wheels black, the wheels are booked in so should be done and back on the car within the next 10 days to two weeks.

Ive gone for Satin Black.

Bit like the one in this picture (Picture is gloss black I believe though)
