118i so far

[ravenx786]

Hey gents.....

So I got some advice from you guys and I did two changes so far with the car. Firstly I tinted windows a bit darker. Secondly I slammed on a set of 19" rims.

Right what next guys?

A wash and wax to get that sexy black out. :rollsmile:

Looks good!
I'm starting to do the same with my wife's 118. Except I've put 18's on her ride. Next step for me is the tints, then some Carbon trinklets.

I say add on a rear spolier aswell.

Maybe do a eibach spring set, i have on my car and its low with the 17" but not that low like you need to go sideways over speed bumps.

Maybe take a look at what ive done so far:

Eibach pro kit
PowerBrake GT series (discs and pads) better stopping power
freeflow back box
bigger replacement K&N air filter
LaminX'ed headlights and Tails

Ive got quite a few new visual mods coming to add to the list after my 100k service

I got my rear spoiler from Bruce's BMW Spares, I was lucky to find this at the scrapyard.
I later inquired through the agents after I bought it, and surprised it retails at R3200- excl. vat. but would include paint of my choice.

The car I took it off was a 120i, was in a front end prang, if not for the front smash probably would have taken the bumper too!

 

[Jarv]

nice welldone man!!

Question: What you guys think of yellow number plates for the car? Some it fits very well.

 

[dino_rox]

id say add to your List

a Chrome tailpiece
Mudflaps (they make a huge difference on 1 series IMO)
and as Jarv said (go low.....)

Looks Sweet with those 19's

[Jarv]
