Raj's 335i - The Build (Updated Pics)

Ao1 · 12-30-2016, 04:53 PM

Been doing some homework on the multiple E9x M3 editions and there were two limited editions in a frozen silver metallic; the CRT and the Frozen Silver Edition. Both special cars. Makes the colour choice quite fitting for this special build.

Some really good info buddy. Do like the CRT version.

I've stuck with black/silver theme for mine.

Finally got stage 3 sorted and she's nearly finished (well it's never really finished lol).

So she went off to Russ@MidlandsCarCare for a proper machining with PPF application and then ceramic coated.

Russ was a real credit with taking a lot of extra time/effort to ensure it was as good as can be.

Got side gills, kidneys and washer jet covers back in. Although for the pics the bonnet vents are in they have been sent back due to the finish not quite being what they should.

A few little things still to sort but it's good to finally have her back.

Thanks,

Raj.

Looking fantastic!!!

Looking awesome mate!!

richk84 · 01-04-2017, 06:58 AM

That looks amazing! you must be really pleased with how its come together. The 335i badges are a really nice touch,

How long will it be before you get some new wheels?

m_sporter · 01-04-2017, 08:45 AM

That is one crazy project, total respect to you #hugeballs#madness#totally_worth_it!!

Ao1 · 01-04-2017, 01:11 PM

OMG just stunning. The 335i gill badge is so cool. Bet it wasn't easy to source it.

What type of ceramic coating did you get? Whatever it was you won't regret it. Nothing else comes close to ceramic technology.

Raj, excellent job, nice & subtle rear looks great, good choice not going with a quad exhaust. Those 335i gill badges

Respect

Thanks. The 335i badges were from a forum member in the States. Crazy as he actually sources them here lol.

New wheels hmmmm, always looking LOL. But nope I love the Rays. Might consider changing the winters though

Thank you buddy. Badges were sourced from a forum member and were bought before I even started buying the bits

Actually need a favour so will PM you before I pop down and see you

I believe it is Gyeon that was used. Will confirm though.

Gyeon is one of the best. Did they do GYEON Q2 MOHS+ or GYEON Q2 DURABEAD?

Wheels are stunning and it's shame they are back on the rack with the winters back on but looking forward to getting them back on most definitely.
