Which Kit-s?

V8888V · 08-01-2011, 04:16 AM

yo, just whacked some cheap 20" rims to sorta suss out what it would look like with huge as rims.... obviously needs a lower...and i gather a bodykit will wrap the look up...am looking for suggestions on a nice stiff lowering kit as my driveway has a crazy dip... and a decent bodykit to whack on before i lower...

thanks for the suggestions!!

suggest you DONT put on 20's.. especially as I have a distinct feeling they are going to be chrome!

sbce90 · 08-01-2011, 04:31 AM

Wait on. Is your car black, LCI, nonsport, black grilles, with black/silver wheels now? Halogens? Can you post up a pic? Might have spotted you in Kensington yesterday?? Sound possible?

/end 20 questions

I was driving in the other direction on Todman avenue across the anzac pde lights. Sif you didn't notice the other fully sik E90 heading straight at you

And honestly.. yes the wheels are a bit fugly

Maybe black them out fully rather than two-tone?

Also um.. the picture is upside down.

V8888V · 08-01-2011, 05:06 AM

yeah they were the ones the Ministry of Finance (Mrs) approved.....i personally wanted the 10 spoke M type ..or something along the lines of BBS and HRE ...you really think blacking them out would help?.. (where?) and gloss or matte...Thanks

Nnooooooooooooo and noooooooo
IMHO the only car you put those rims on are for the final ride! Plus IMHO the m3 body kit is for try hards if you can't afford an m3 then don't try to pretend! It's like saying hey look at me in my m1.5, now that IS fully sick.

That bang said Jason is a winner IMHO

pcockley · 08-01-2011, 05:17 AM

Sorry chaps if I am being a turd but IMHO if you can't afford (or can't justify the price) an m3 don't pretend.

Buy a 335 and apply FBO's and blow M3's

V8888V · 08-01-2011, 05:24 AM

understood..........back to OEM styled wheels soon i suppose

sbce90 · 08-01-2011, 05:31 AM

Man Jasons pics reminded me.. I wonder where Mark has gone lol.

Personally I think E90 LCI Msport is kit best

Otherwise just save some money and go for some front splitters.

Another option is BMW Performance front but you will lose your foglights. Also Ninja333 got the full Alpina front lip for his car which I like the look of as well.

Nonsport rear bumper is also extremely bland looking and Msport conversion would work wonders for the appearance.

As for the wheels - maybe contact Jason@ed for some prices on black csl reps or similar?

V8888V · 08-01-2011, 06:46 AM

M Sport Conversion would mean.....for the rear...an exhaust tail pipe change then? any suggestions where o hunt the kit?

Nope no exhaust tail pipe change needed. [Although on a side note I do suggest you get the BMW PE for your car.] It's just a rear bumper and diffuser. Should be a straight swap for stock.

V8888V · 08-01-2011, 06:57 AM

got a reseller to recom? or should i visit the friendly parts division at the local shiny BMW showroom.. .. .. .. ..

sbce90 · 08-01-2011, 06:59 AM

ALWAYS go to your local BMW Dealer.

sbce90 · 08-01-2011, 07:00 AM

BMW Sydney told me that the Performance rear diffuser would not fit on my Msport rear bumper (which looks the same as Performance bumper only the diffuser part is different. They seem visually similar). I was told $4500 unpainted for rear bumper and diffuser.

Firstly - decide on which kit you want. Then think about where to get them. Many guys on here will be able to tell you where to get various parts.

LCI Msport
Front
Rear

Perf
Front
Rear

Alpina Lip

V8888V · 08-01-2011, 07:20 AM

LOL... had my mind on the Performance Kit...will ring mcnamara and see how much they will charge to paint..

Jason@Euro-Division · 08-01-2011, 08:17 AM

I like the M3 kit for non M's personally because it has its differences between the real M3 bumper.

1) It actually has fogs lights.
2) Rear bumper has dual exhaust cutout on the left and not Quads

So really, it has a bit of M3 styling but not entirely an imitation of a real M3. Anybody who knows their stuff would be able to tell.

I think going all out (quad exhaust, mirrors, M3 fenders etc) would be classified as try hard.

Just IMO anyway
