Default Intro / Teaser

Hey what's shaken everyone!

I thought would start a little build/teaser thread, please let me know if I am in the wrong area.

Here she sits waiting for love, completely filthy, covered in dirt and pollen. I plan on reducing the tint levels to 35%.

BR's... I currently have had a pair on the touring for a little over a year, not bad for the price.

Great choice of wheels. Those guys are definitely some great resources.

A teaser shot. I asked that the shop also do remove a few dings and paint the rear defuser black as well. Don't mind the inch filth on there, I promise she will get a proper detailing once I get her back.

Lip getting fitted before paint. (Coils still not on)

Have the body shop paint it.


Happy to be of assistance getting the wheels sorted, they will look killer and that lip will help offset the added height the 20s add.

Is your car a 535i or 550i? If is has the N54 then you are FAR from being done with mods.


Slick wagon, got a link to more pics?

Lastly, is that a Corvair in the garage?
