Get an m sport kit of something put on. I think you should make it look nice before making it handle better.

I now have the Chassis kit fitted and it's really transformed the car, it's a vast improvement over the standard set up, much firmer with a huge reduction in body roll yet it feels more compliant over less than perfect roads.



Its not quite as low as I expected, maybe it will settle down a couple more mm



Also managed to get a set of darklines fitted

One thing that had been bothering me was a little overspill of the black plastic on the clear part of the light. 10 minutes spent trimming it off for a subtle improvement, it gave me a chance to tweak the alignment as I'd fitted them in a rush.

Had the suspension on a few months now, maybe settled down a couple of mm more since it was fitted

Got a few more additions planned over the next month or two

Hopefully I'll get it fitted this weekend, I'm only really expecting the car to sound a little better but i'll let you know if there is any difference.

This is the part

Got round to fitting it earlier today, easy job to do, took 15 minutes including taking pictures. In terms of performance there is no noticeable difference in the way it pulls, but there is a nice subtle change in the sound, slightly deeper sound all the way through the rev range without being intrusive in any way.

wow looks very nice, its identical filter that comes with the bmw performance intake i think, give it few Kms/miles for the ecu to learn the airflow change i guess.

For £35 delivered off ebay, it had to be worth a punt. Did it help you make your mind up either way?
