My "New" M-Tech II 325iS: Part II (Actually Finished)

[5spoke]

Wow the paint looks killer, I love that color.


edit: Definitely do the shadowline though.

Car looks great, except for those wheels.

First car on Ronals I have ever thought that about. I think the MTech2 needs 17's. Hell, even Kopis look great on them.

LOVE the kit, looks truly badass.

and please, shadowline.

I saw shadowline it because you already have blacked out kidney grills...looks kind of odd with the chrome. If you like the chrome I think it *could* work with stock kidney grills. Otherwise your car is beautiful!

Thanks for all the nice comments guys.

First, I would say that the only reason I got the Kopi replica spoiler was because the original is now NLA. The Kopi is ABS plastic though and you really wouldn't notice the difference had I not told you :-P

As for the shadowline, seems most prefer it. I will consider changing, but somewhat gingerly, as it cost a lot for the new chrome/ getting some of the old strips refinished.

Def thinking about the plate filler, I think it will look good.

Interesting comment about the wheels, I had never thought that they weren't hugely suited to Mtec 2... oh well, if I ever get a tonne of money, maybe I'll buy some 5-lug BBSs. Until then...


No more thoughts about the badge? Surely some have opinions on badged/debadged...

I love it, maybe a shadowline and chrome kidneys

i paid like 4 dollars for a whole bag full of those m-tech stickers from the dealer a couple years back, my only trouble was finding the fuggin' part number for them!

Got any more? :-D

the wheels are a great choice, but for some reason they're just not flowing on this car like they should. pick up some bbs's or alpina'a and she will be jaw dropping! :up:

Love the car, I think you did a great job. I don't know why, but the painted door handles always look weird to me.

I say keep the chrome and the Ronals!

Nice job.

car looks great! i love that color, same one as my e28... I may have it repainted next year.

There is nothing better than fresh paint, i was so ecstatic when my e30 was painted 3 years ago, it was a PITA dealing with the guy who did it though...

i left the chrome on my bronzit, which i think looks better than shadowline. Although with your grill in all black i think the shadowline would match better.

i think some 16" alpinas would look sick on that car.

Thanks, yea the paint looks great. Everyone who's seen it today has commented on it, the guy at the tire store even offered to buy it from me...

I'm afraid I've never been a huge Borbet fan, but I'd consider some genuine Alpina's to trade/part exchange if anyone has some...
So, I'm pretty sure you don't like the badges, lol.

[StereoInstaller1]

why you gotta bring the police into this?

:p

Style police oh noes!!!!!111

Borbet's look fine on some cars but I just prefer BBS or Alpinas...

Stay with the chrome trim but, get a chrome grill to match. It looks odd without all shadowline or all chrome. Debadged is nice as well. Wheels look good but, I would go with a nogaro center or maybe wheels like Yan-3's ac schtizners in black.. Overall car is hot!
