If you don't want any comments on your car, don't try feeding your ego by posting pictures of it on line.

I can take anyone thinking my car looks like crap or whatever, as looks is down to personal preference.

You however started mouthing, by mentioning the style of font used on my reg plates, and you brought in kids being knocked down etc. I think its yourself that has a mentality problem

Anyway here is pics.







Changed the wheels to 20" Veemann VC7 (8.5" fronts, 10" rears)





Bought myself a nice reg


Then the car got an M Performance style extension kit - kidney grilles, front spoiler, rear diffuser, side skirt extensions and lip spoiler for the bootlid. Also got the side skirt decals custom made





Swapped my boring silver interior trim for some carbon wrapped goodies from MTec Dynamics.

Before:


After:












Fairly sorts the cockpit out.

Got a Genuine BMW boot liner too


And here is a shot from the shop i got my Veemann wheels and M Performance style add-on kit from.


Plans -
Remap it and lower it a little when the warranty runs out
ACS Springs
Maybe change to a CSL style bootlid
Maybe change the exhaust to 340i style but quad exit.

nice one, looks sweet

If it doesnt bother the police, its because their ANPR cameras can pick up the reg and the data link to it. Therefore, perfectly fine and dandy. The spacing and sizing is infact 100% the same as standard mot. The font is bolder. That is it. Fondly known as "metro style" font.

Now take your negative comments and be a KNOBby clark elsewhere

Please be civil towards other fellow Bimmerpost members. Thanks!

Maxwell_RS banhammer coming your way soon mate!

Very nice. I'm hopefully picking up my mineral grey 335i this weekend, want to get my interior wrapped too. How much did it cost you?

Was £240 delivered mate. But i bought the parts from MTEC Dynamics. Would have been cheaper had i exchanged for my interior trim.

Wheels - not for me, old fashioned and too hard to clean. Looks very Alpina copy

[Maxwell_RS]

Fancied a change of wheels for the F30 as i wasnt 100% satisfied with the Veemann VC7s. Loved them as a wheel, but didnt think they suited a Mineral Grey car!!

So i decided on a set of 20" (9" Front and 10" Rear) Ispiri FFR6s in Carbon Graphite. In my opinion they totally transform the look of the car and when i lower it at a lower date, it will finish things nicely.









And my mate tried the Veemanns on his car. Definately looks better on an Estoril blue car compared to mine

[UKF30]

+ 1

He has changed alloys now I seen another pic and look good now .

I just don't like silver alloys at all.

Looks nice. It doesn't look too high for it being on standard suspension.

[Mike_H]

Awesome looking car, the ispiri wheels look great. Can you tell me what offset the wheels are and what sized tyres are you running please?

Cheers

[CazuaLLUK]

Looks good, now you need some blue brakes!

Yeah the 20" wheels fairly fill the arches. I do want to close the arch gap a bit with ACS springs. But the front splitter scuffs on some high speedbumps and certain gradients of entry into driveways etc. So a bit undecided on lowering all together.

Front 8.5jx20" ET35 (245/35/20)
Rear 10jx20" ET42 (255/35/20)

Great thread, please keep us updated

I would agree on most cases!! But some of the current oem BMW wheels are shocking imo. And hard to beat a non chavvy looking set of aftermarket wheels!!

Was thinking of Yas Marina Blue or something a bit brighter than the norm. And no not out there bright/florescent etc

Yeah I like that idea. I think orange would look good on MG or maybe a darker red!

I did consider a darker shade of Orange than the E92 M3. Defo not red.

Possibly a shade of yellow like the new Ford Mustang (as i think Dakar is too flat looking).

Also have ordered some carbon vinyl off Mtec Dynamics to finish off the carbon look interior - just to sort out Steering wheel silver trim and around the gearshift.

Nice looking car but spoilt by the plates
Nothing to do with the illegality or otherwise, they just look chavvy and spoils an otherwise classy look
But each to their own

Where did you get that boot liner dude?... it's so much nicer than the standard one.

I can't find it anywhere!
