Friend of mine is very handy with Carbon Fibre.
Don't know him too well, but what i've seen, he's amazing with CF...

now that he bought an E46 Coupé, I'd like to share it with you guys.

that's also a way to look at it... In the first place i wanted to have something special.
A BBK cost around 7000$ in Belgium, and that's not the ammount i'd like to spend.

The biggest problem is that in Belgium, once a year, all cars need to visit a technical station (from the governement), and these guys really don't approve "aftermarket" brakes.
And, when you get in an accident with your "not standard" car, the insurance will refuse to pay for the damage.

I'm not a shopowner or something like that. I'm just a "DIY'er" whithout special tools or machinery. But if you reed some of my first post, you understand.
The alloy ring mounted on top of the subbox is made with a regular uppermill.






KEEP IT SIMPLE.

The subject "brake pimping" is now closed. :russ::russ::russ:
All i have to do now is chose the nicest looking boomerangs. :hmm::hmm::hmm:
I'm happy about the result after all that labour. :excited::excited::excited:
Most of you would prefer big Brembo's, but i don't have the budget for that. :bawling::bawling::bawling:
What i did now is more than enough for me, and i find it very special. :bow:
Now i'll be moving on to the next phase: the ICE in the trunk. :banghead::banghead:
Concening the outside of the car: i'm going to have my roof and chome parts around the windows painted black. I'm also planning to have the windows tinted. :boink::boink:

Those mirrors are high on my priority list as well, where did you get them?
And another question did you lose fuctionality? Are they still elictrical adjustable.


And for the boomerangs go with the Silver ones they look the best IMO
