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

[sweetride01]

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 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...

Debadged is the way to go on MT-II.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

A few more pics, taken tonight. Washed and cleaned up. Maybe I can convince the chrome-haters otherwise? :p Oh well, I suppose I can't accept my styling failure, better hand myself into the style police...








I know, I need new tint in the front.

Begging for chrome kidney grills!

Very nice. Not a huge fan of the backed out kindney grill though. But very nice nonetheless. Congratulations.

Thanks... I hope sometime I'll be adding a set of your brakes to my set up :)

Yeah, yeah. I think it is matt-b had them that way.

Dam, that looks nice, I really need to get around to installing my Mtech II kit too.

[RainierHooker]

If I weren't halfway around the world I'd just send you a set of kidneys, I think I've got four or five sitting in the garage collecting dust. But then that's in the states...

just hit up your local pull-a-part type yard, you can usually pick 'em up for less than $10

Anyway, the chrome window surround would flow perfectly with the chrome kidneys. The car is gorgeous though.
