my oil burner -small upgrades

[nawtiboy]

hi guys

just a little update on my ride

05 330d individual -A/T

so far i have played around with painting the grills -currently it's graphite
fitted led interior kit
fitted front & rear stealth bulbs
led parks & number plates ( lighting thanks to DEMON_DTM
sparyed the rims graphite -DIY
uni-chip Q-136kw & 564NM - it really flys now

Next up to do

Oil service & decat -booked for the 17th.
maybe a double din
rear silencer with 330i pipes?
add some carbon splitters & mirror covers?

sorry for the poor quality and half shots:mmm:

The car looks hot.

My advice is not to put in 330i tailpieces. I know that the current twin down pipes dont look the most appealing, but rather try to get something with chrome downpipes than try to match a 330i. There are certain things that help us other drivers identify a car, and straight pipes mean its a petrol and downfacing pipes mean its a diesel.

I know that theres a badge..... Still though...


This car is really a stunning machine. Them Roundals look cool. And the black..... oh the black.... just too awesome for words.



P.s. Does it have an Mp3 Player. If youre not sure, put in a mp3 cd and you might be surprised.

IIRC, the 2005 models all came out with a mp3 compatible front loader. The non mp3 and the mp3 look exactly the same, so you wont know unless you actually try it.

The down turn pipes are there for a reason, to eject it down and away from the car.
The car's rear will collect all that black shit coming out the exhaust if you have straight pipes, the car's back end will get dirty quickly!!

+1
i was just going to say that, if you put straight pipes on you will have a dirty rear end, nobody like a dirty rear end

i know these are NOT the best examples, but i've seen similar things to this and they really look good. (i do not support AUTOSTYLE only picture i could find )

Agree with Mike. A 35% tint and she will be blacked out beautifully to go with those stunning rims:thumbsup:

 

[nawtiboy]

yip -136 atw -i tried it Rgm & a mate in boksburg-almost on the head
tint - will definetly sort out-i tried the 15 & 35 -on the quaters- currently has the 15- but you right there Mike- 35 % is the way.
i like the idea of chrome tail pipes facing down - i'll try to fabricate some first exactly the same as the oem - maybe a few mm wider:thumbsup:

 

[nawtiboy]

just a little upate on what i've done since my last post

so ive got her serviced & did a decat & downpipe -more response is all i'll say :grin:

played with some carbon fiber -i'm no professional so it's not the best
but i'm feeling more confident to play around some more

also did the diy repair for the window regulator -the cable tie fix -it works well ( http://www.impee.co.uk/windowregulator_repair.htm )

although it did take time as i was really safe and did not want to F@$# anything up.

still working on the tail pipes -not too sure what to do -maybe 'll paint them for starters

i guess i'll see the regulars soon at the vaal meet up.:hope-my-fake-smile-works-again:
