Jetblack530I: I'm having it made from the shop in Thailand, a thin layer of CF sheet which will be glued on to the existing roof...obviously because it's glued on instead of replacing the existing roof panel. It will not be weight saving, just for looks


nixdof: Yes I'm thai, and let us know if any of you e60ers heading our way.. we have big event every quarter, but a mini meetup once a month.

Looks like you have some tasteful mods going on.. I'm sure it will look sick when it's done.

Here's me thinking whether to get some new pedals or not and then I stumble across this... fair play ISHBU!!
I love what you are doing with the car -- hope it all turns out how you expect it and importantly on time for the meet...

Is the E46 M3 engine going to slot straight in or is that going to take some modification to the engine bay? And why that particular engine?

UPDATE 2/21/2008

It is down to the wire.... the 3 man built team has turned into a 8 man crews for the last two days.

It's getting there... luckly I spared an extra built day incase of any problem, which ofcourse it comes with every built. So saturday it be a crunch day with the final check up for the entire car, then off to the BMW center to plug in the ECU, re-activate airbags, and turn off any warning lights that come up on the on-board display. For those of you have been following the built all along, you can see that this is the first glimps of what the final product will look like... Also I went to pick up bigger wheel spacers with 10 in the front and 12 for the back... it should enchance the visual of the exterior No work for me tomorrow, well I'm taking a half day and will be at the should for the final stretch of the project....

Tomorrow I should have the pictures of the complete exterior for you all to see
