Looks awesome, i'd prefer the matte one though. Wonder if it suits Titansilber?

Looks really good bro

Where are you going to get the wrap done?

MMM335 · 06-22-2016, 09:15 AM

No real cutting involved but its fair easy, my old e60. patience, and as someone said, sucks when its sticks, need steady hands

Mod 58 - Carbon Fiber Trim

This would have to be the slowest mod so far... Has been literally months in the making, so was pretty happy to see this big cardboard box finally arrive

Have wanted this since EB89 posted this mod on his thread back in April

While slower then a 320d, Andy at CarbonFiberMods in the USA, did some awesome kick ass work..

Looks much nicer then wood grain or painted trim

While at it, also upgraded idrive controller in prep for NBT

Pic 1 - Finally - box of sweet sweet trimmy goodness arrives
Pic 2 - Contents of box
Pic 3 - Closer look of the trim bits
Pics 4 - 7 Before and after shots
Pics 8 - 10 More shots

Thanks mate... was a long long long long wait

EB89 · 06-24-2016, 05:36 AM

It's great looking stuff, how much of a pain is it to remove the aircon vents!!!

MR.BLUECOLLARMAN · 06-24-2016, 05:39 AM

Hey Socket, I'm doing my interior as well but with matte cf. I'll try to post a pic up if I don't forget. Not sure why but the matte looks good on black interior and shiny looks better on different colored interiors imo. I wrapped my grills yesterday

but great job on the build the car looks beautiful!!

Get some smt2 additive for your oil! I just did an oil change with it now, effects are immediate, engine runs way smoother for me!

vtl · 06-24-2016, 06:47 AM

looking awesome mate, can't wait to see the car in person. Looks like you've got the CIC controller in there now too.

Mod 59 - Aluminum M3 rep hood

Technically another mod that has been done before, but this time swapping the CF hood for an aluminum hood....
Fitment is perfect, but vents are no longer functional... goodbye heat haze my old friend

Excuse the finger prints on the paintwork peeps

Pic 1 - New hood all boxed up
Pics 2 - 4 Installed

Socket · 06-25-2016, 04:25 AM

Mod 60 - CF CSL Trunk

Has been a long time since the rear of the car got a makeover.
Actually the last time was mod 10 back in Feb 15

I think with all the changes to the car, I can probs get away with something more aggressive

Swapping over the old trunk to the new was a little more involved then I expected, but got there in the end...
