Hi guys. Here is my car from the day I bought her till today. I have done a few upgrades since then. I hope you like. I still have a few things to do like change the tail lights, tint the windows and drop the car a little. I'm getting all the little dents and scratches removed on monday through a policy I have with my perfect car. Then she should be in showroom condition.
The day I bought her
I managed to locate a set of clear front and side indicators.
Added some CF vinyl to my interior trim
Before
After
In the mean time I was looking for a set of rims. Been playing with the idea of CSL with a Csl front bumper and then things went pair shaped afterwards. I was considering changing the entire look of the car. Then it hit me that I'm losing my mind. If I want an M3 then I should go and buy one, not make a 318 look like an M3.
Finally, I set my mind on the Mtech 2 look and started locating rims and Bumper. I got my rims from the wheelshop which Shaheen was all too happy to help me out.
I visited him a few weeks back and this was the result.
I placed a Wanted ad in the marketing section for an Individual Front bumper and a Fanatic from Pretoria name Bac hooked me up with an oem mtech 2 front bumper. The guy that advertised on gumtree for Mtech bumpers helped me with the fogs and I got the fog covers from Bmw Alberante.
Then it was off to the panelshop for makeover.
The bumper fitted without the fogs. You will see the door does not have the handle. I drove around a few days with handles. What a pain in the ass but was worth the wait. I did not want to fit the fogs without the covers so I told my panelshop that I would fit them.
Then I picked up my Fog covers from bmw yesterday and fitted them on. Gave her a nice wash today and here are the photos of the final result. :rollsmile:
And thats it for now. hopefully I will get the tail lights soon and a Mtech2 rear bumper. Tinting should be sorted out by next month. :joy::joy:
