Couple new Pictures of the 'upgraded' 318iS

[royalflush313]

So I got the smileys from euro3 (thanks again!) and so I decided that I should take some pictures.
Yes, I know that the pictures suck, I have a crappy camera (a Canon Powershot SD10 that is really small, but takes shitty pictures :o )





I'm already aware of that nasty dent on my driver's side fender, so please don't remind me :( And I'm also aware that 99% of you will dislike the diamond black kidney grille. I didn't like it at first, but now its growing on me, so i think im going to take it off sand it and paint it a lil nicer (I did a quick job, just to see what it looks like, on a chipped up grille).

What I have 'invested' since I bought the stock 318iS :? :

- H&R Sport Springs w/ Bilstein Sports
- Euro Smileys w/ euro grille
- Euro bumper trim, front and back
- Painted my taillights red
- Z4 short shifter
- diamond black IS-lip w/ Ryan G splitter
- rear 'Lukas' stress bar
- Clarion 645mp deck and all new speaker wires.
- rscheiring leather shifter boot and e-brake boot

Waiting to go on:
- Sparco bar
- Treehouse CABs

Next couple plans:
- 6000k HIDs
- smoked headlights?
- factory fogs
- maybe KW V1 coilovers
- Racing dynamics rear apron
- "you tell me what would be nice" sideskirts
- whatever comes up that's a good deal 8)

nah I don't, and I don't really know too much about his car other than that it's a 92 Jetta with a 1.8 8v engine. He has a 2L engine from a 94 GTI that he is working on to drop into his car. Indeed it's a nice car.

Sick Jetta, even better E30, and a base-model stock Lancer.

I'm liking the all black look.
I like the grill/smiley combination, looks great.

Your car looks great man, but I had regular smileys for a short time, smoked is definitely the way to go, you'll love it.

iS sideskirts would really look awesome on your car, but hard to find. Anyways, great car, and HID's are also on my list. Go for more suspension/gofast parts before anything else though. Don't be like me and buy a ton of cosmetic mods! Prioritize.

thanks!

Yah IS sideskirts would be awesome, except like you said, they are too hard to come by. I'm looking for something real simple and clean, and I have my mind set on the racing dynamics rear :twisted:

Do you guys think that if I get smoked headlights and also smoked turn signals, the front would be tooo black?

Looks good on my car.

Looks good on my car.

If you did that, I'd keep the chrome grille. Too much black would be with the black grille.

[DSchultz325e]

clear turn signals, standard fog lamps, smoked headlamps and blacked out kidney.

I really like your car, keep it up. Smart mods.
