Couple new Pictures of my 'improved' 318iS

[royalflush313]

So I got the smileys finally and so I decided that I should take some pictures.
Yes, I know that the pictures suck, I have a crappy camera (a Canon Powershot SD10 that is really small, but takes shitty pictures :o )

I'm already aware of that nasty dent on my driver's side fender, so please don't remind me :( And I'm also aware that 99% of you will dislike the diamond black kidney grille. I didn't like it at first, but now its growing on me, so i think im going to take it off sand it and paint it a lil nicer (I did a quick job, just to see what it looks like, on a chipped up grille).

What I have 'invested' since I bought the stock 318iS :? :

- H&R Sport Springs w/ Bilstein Sports
- Euro Smileys w/ euro grille
- Euro bumper trim, front and back
- Painted my taillights red
- Z4 short shifter
- diamond black IS-lip w/ Ryan G splitter
- rear 'Lukas' stress bar
- Clarion 645mp deck and all new speaker wires
- rscheiring leather shifter boot and e-brake boot

Waiting to go on:
- Sparco bar
- Treehouse CABs

Next couple plans:
- 6000k HIDs
- smoked headlights?
- factory fogs
- maybe KW V1 coilovers
- Racing dynamics rear apron
- "you tell me what would be nice" sideskirts
- whatever comes up that's a good deal 8)

BTW your car is looking great!

Hiro your car is looking kakoee! I think the blacked out kidneys look great on your car.

[FrustratedMunky]

Lookin' sweet, Hiro! Throw some foglights on the front and the front will be all done, good work man.

[fastbmw]

I like it.

[FrustratedMunky]

Some foglights on ebay if you're interested. Pretty late right now, only like 23 hours left, it's at about $105.

Your car looks way nicer than the other junk in your photos, nice work.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Mike, I got the ellipsoid off of "euro3" on r3vlimited.com . I got it for $120 US, I think I paid a total of $175 or something shipped with the euro grille.

Anthony, kakkoee indeed haha. Im thinking I might throw the stock kidneys back on if I smoked the turn signals and the headlights. I'm undecided.
I have 1 rusted out H1 Highbeam in my room, I'm thinking of disassembling it and smoking it to see how it looks, if it turns out good, I might paint the rest.

And I've been eyeing on those Fogs. Anyone know if its hard to wire the fogs up? I've read that the wires are all there, but you have to find them in a jungle of mess or something along that line.

And Vince, I agree :buttrock:

What are your plans for wheels?

[royalflush313]

What are your plans for wheels?

Something 16". I have a long list of wheels that I would love to get, but I haven't gotten around to 'committing' because it's kind of a big purchase.

- BBS RS's (too rare)
- Borbet B's (again, too rare)
- Borbet A's
- CR7s
- BBS RX
- Ronal/ACT LS in 16s (rare again...)

I just want a nice wide set of 16s in mesh style like the stock basketweaves. Am I asking too much? :bigcry:

opinions welcome :smokin:

EDIT: Can anyone read/write German? If so, would you like to help me buy wheels off ebay.de ? Without a translator, I wouldn't be able to deal with all the shipping and what not.
