[COMPLETED] F30 to F80 Conversion,Akrapovic, Vorsteiner, Bilstein, Eibach, Vredestein
UPDATE: 10/19/15 Everything is done including the glass coating Proper photoshoot tomorrow, but click the link below for some pictures from the 'show room'.
http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...1&postcount=98 UPDATE: 10/17/15 Custom wide body rear done! UPDATE: Back to Vorsteiner VFF 103 19" - Pics on the 3nd page! Got a M3 style rear bumper, so I had to come up with a solution to fit the exhaust gaps. We took two Akrapovic systems, cut them apart and made them fit as there is no off the shelf solution for quad diesel exhausts. Right a couple of things are missing like the F80 mirrors and fenders. Got the front fenders already, but will look 'half assed' without the mirrors and welding the rear body part to have the wide body look, like the real M3. Current Mods:
Missing Mods:
The exhaust sound is nothing to speak of, which I am happy about as the car is a Diesel. Anyway, here are the pics.. UPDATED 17-07-2015 Previously:

I just realized the fog lights are installed behind the grilles, how is that possible?

For now I think i'll leave it the way it is, besides adding a pair of Brembo's or M-Performance breaks. Too much wheel, too little break right now

... and you know that how? Because it's Bangkok?
Not all the Girls here Girls are either.. but I can assure you it's an original part. No one buys a car for $100k, wheels for 10k, and than 4x$2 Replica Exhaust Tips.

Thanks! Adding the F80 mirrors as well as the M3 front fenders this week. Will have to weld the rear fender and put on some spacers to get the real M3 look.
Then it's done for now... for now

Looks Great! Maybe add a power dome hood next ? I would recommend the rear wheel arches as well, saw a set available on TC Concepts. http://shop.tc-concepts.de/deu_48/Ra...ng_BMW_F30_F31
