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

[sweetride01]

Why do you keep saying shadowline will be expensive??? You can paint it yourself...you don't have spend a fortune by buying it from the factory. That's like flushing money down the toilet for something that is perfectly usable in "USED" condition...

Good point, very true. That said, once the decision is made, there's no going back, and as I said before the chrome was expensive to get nice.

Debadged is the way to go on MT-II.

I like the LSes, but maybe a more 'modern' wheel would look better with the MT-II as well (LM's or RG-R's perhaps?)

I like both those wheels, a lot. I will definitely consider them, but the interior has got to come first I think...

No, not the really HUGE ones, just the 16" X 9"

This is more than about what YOU want. Don't be selfish, man.

Do the Borbet. It's the right thing to do.

You sir, have made my evening. The roflCopter is flying around as we speak.

Chrome kidneys and window trim and you can pull off the chrome!

I'm afraid I've never been a huge Borbet fan

I would take back my comment about the shadowline if you had chrome kidneys, but chrome window frames just dont flow with shadowed grills.

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!

Hey, thanks very much. I may go with a chrome grille, it'd be a lot cheaper than shadowline trim...
When you say nogaro centre, do you mean just have the centres painted that colour, with a roundel?
Cheers

Oh and yea those AC Schnitzer's are hot... not 100% sure they would work with the Mtec2 though.

Annoyingly I've got to go back to the UK next week (school) so no more driving for me for another while :-( But I do plan on getting a custom chip done while I'm gone :-)

Oh, and someone please buy my parts (see sig) :-)

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...

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...

Buck Fadges.

Type A, 16X9, flatcap.

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]

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

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.

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:

[sweetride01]

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
