I love this thing. Very nicely modded!

What color did you have it painted? Very nice car!

euG! · 12-23-2011, 06:59 PM

Looks very JDM inspired. I would paint the hood and debadge/de-decal the entire car (minus the BMW logo).

I'm not really into JDM. I think the hood and the front lip goes really well with the red paint and gold wheels. It gives it that aggressive look. But hey thanks anyways.

I knew the stickers comments were going to come. lol.

It's fine.

Thanks man!

Looks great! I would take the stickers off though it would look a lot cleaner. Red+Gold wheels = sex

zander271 · 12-23-2011, 07:34 PM

Wow car looks great! I love the black and red. I like the lip on the front bumper. Typically I'm not a fan of them but it looks really good on your car.

One thing though... lose the stickers.

I am planning to take the decals off the fenders and the rear window because they are getting old and ugly. The rear little bbs decals on the rear quarter windows will stay. The windshield decals are from the forum MFEST. The mfest decal on the passenger side and mfest crown on the drivers side will stay. On the bottom corner is the portuguese crest. That will obviously stay.

Thanks guys on the rest of the car!

looks great in gray
CH 9,5" wheels on the back will do the job

The wheels were and are still expensive. Might look for some used 9.5" wheels next year or just get spacers.

Thank you.

I don't mean to be rude, but it looks like a kid's car. Black/red/gold/stickers...too much going on.

If you painted it the gray color from the last picture and calmed things down, it'd be a lot better (in my opinion, at least).

+1. Start by painting the rims

they look horrible in gold.

ICONIKE46 · 12-23-2011, 09:53 PM

l am in LOVE with that gray color

But regardless clean car with the red/gold. Just lose some of those stickers.

I'm not painting my car. I did that grey photo for fun. I love the red. It's not like I went way overboard. I have a few decals on parts I actually have. The mfest decals I think are fine..... It's a huge forum and many people here are familiar with where those decals are put. I'm sick of seeing the plain e46 on silver CSL's. Thanks for the kind words I guess.....
