hi guys

i have a black 325ci ,was going to sell it but decided to keep it as the mileage is only 104 000.

it already has m6 replica mag rims but thats about it.

going to change the headlights and the taillights but after that i am stuck .

blak out ur grills and blak out ur chrome trim on your windows thats what i would hit start of with golf-tee mod on ur exhaust if you havnt already done it, inexpensive mods that wont look tacky and wil enhance look of your black car

hi

thanks what is a golf tee mod ?

the golf tee mod is a worthless mod where you unhook the vacuum line from your exhaust and plug it with a golf tee. this in turn keeps both sides of the exhaust open at all times instead of opening after x amount of RPM.

it is supposed to make your exhaust sound better, and lose torque, but I did it on my 328, and it did nothing that you could tell

what do you guys think

got this from rob green

will recommend a stage 1 conversion which includes a full de cat stainless steel performance exhaust system, remapping with the Unichip and a K & N filter. This will give you around 162kw and costs R14,500. inc. The Cold Air Induction will cost you an additional R5645 inc fitted.

A supercharger .... :thumbsup:

We had a black 325ci a while ago. Its a stunning car and I think it still looks gorgeous on the roads! the m6 reps must look so good imp:

Not that much you can do for power without going the forced induction route.

Looking forward to seeing the pics!!!

We did a 30% tint on the car and it looked very bad ass

it does make your exhaust sound better at lower revs as for the loosing torq iv also read a few posts on that think its a load of BS IMO tho i rate the flap is PURELY for keeping the sound at lower revs down dont think you really loose back pressure or enough to notice it i like the sound of my car with it and i hav not noticed loss in torque.... different strokes for different folks

Hi Guys.
Any ideas as to where one can find clear rear lights and clear front lights for the 325Ci?
Also looking for the thin boot spoiler that is found on most E46 models.
The dealers are absolutely insane with their prices.:cursin:

Hey Guys

Anyone know a cheap place for the lights

hi guys

mst autostyling in turfontein quoted me about 3900 for the angels , tail lights and fender indictaor lenses .

 

[Vato]

Has anyone fitted the MST head lights, tail lights and fender indicators?

The only thing I worry about with aftermarket stuff, is that it more often than not doesnt fit properly.

I agree! Im also worried about the aftemarket stuff allowing water inside. :mmm:

I would rather find original stuff from scrap yards, sometimes you have to wait to find what you want, but at the end of the day you know that it is the proper stuff
