fairman7 0 Posted May 10, 2009 looks sweet. love the rims..such a bargain them! have been contemplating getting some myself for a while..good work Thanks alot! I am in love with it already and took a gamble on the wheels but am well pleased with them and the way they look, am considering smoked M3 tail lights but rather enjoying the old school look of the rears, the car was machine polished head to toe yesterday and the paintowrk against the original tail lights has got me thinking just to leave them.

dgtvr6 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Looking nice... I need some adv on tail light as well... Am considering smoked/black ones but seems everyone thinks the crystal ones look better... :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevef182 0 Posted May 11, 2009 all red is most definately my preffered option when it comes to tail lights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fairman7 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Thanks once again for all of the comments. Have ordered this morning a grill spoiler and want to put a 90mm chin spoiler on the front. Still torn by the tail lights! All red is tempting although intrigued by what m3 smoked would look like to. Opinions and advice all welcome! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All red is tempting although intrigued by what m3 smoked would look like to. Opinions and advice all welcome! Hi Mate Very, very nice looking. regarding the taillights ive gone for the smoked affect. mines black with a black rear badge, i think it looks good keeping a theme. i know everyone has a opinion and looking from your pics mine would be to go for the smoked ones too. all red would seem a bit much on the rear??

stevef182 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Hi mate, have a look at this thread, half way down pg13. similar look to yours, same colour, style wheels etc and with all red rears, imho looks incredible! viewtopic.php?f=11&t=56993&start=180 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danny B 0 Posted May 11, 2009 red tails rule, especially on red based C's.....go fo it mate. :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgtvr6 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Mmmm, not convinced by that... imho the darker smoked (or maybe inpro dark?) would go far better... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fairman7 0 Posted September 23, 2009 HELP! HELP! HELP!!! Driving home this evening a very poor driving oap decided that there is no need for 2 lanes on a road when you can just follow the middle white line. She kindly decided not to move whilst approaching me so i was left to swerve and plough my front offside wheel into the kerb. i now have 1 lovely lenso bsx wheel with a chrome lip missing about 15 nicks out of it!!!!!!! :( anybody know of anyone/compant who specialise in refurb of this to get my nice chrome finish back?

Having spent the past 2 hours cleaning her, here are some updated pics! :D Rear Wiper is no more, 90mm Splitter is on and so are the old bill magnets (German Plates :D ) I think she looks pretty sweet if i do say so myself but opinions welcome of course 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
odub 0 Posted December 11, 2009 very tidy :notworthy: i reckon a silver badge in the grill instead of the black and you're well away. would be good to put together a local cf meet if we could drum up some interest. there are a few kicking around now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fairman7 0 Posted December 15, 2009 Well i am very much up for that, i am 15 mins away from being in ipswich, and am happy to go wherever to meet, time to drum up some interest!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ozowen 2 Posted December 15, 2009 Love the colour but then I would :D . Looking good; I would agree with the crome VW badge in the front, I have black one on original and chrome on the fettled one and I much prefer the chrome. Do like the Corrado script in black though, did you paint it and if so what paint did you use Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
