few teaser shots of the upcoming project

Yes, several. Unless you're doing upper end speeds, it doesn't bother me having them all down.

I don't know why I'm bothering to argue, especially in Vlad's thread, but having the windows up makes driving much more bearable. Don't get me wrong, when I had my S2000, I was a "top always down" kinda guy...but having the windows up makes conversation possible, you don't have to blast the radio, and it's just more relaxing, especially for drives longer than an hour.

I dunno, maybe it's just wierd to me that you see someone do that and think 'dipshit.'

Dude, calm down. I don't automatically think "dipshit" when I see someone do that. Most of the people I see doing it are women, driving in-town, by themselves, doing 30 mph, with all of the windows up and the big screen thing up behind them. To me, it defeats the purpose of having a convertible. They could have just bought car with a large sunroof.

when the fems are in the ride then why mess up their pretty silky jet black hair ? that can be done latter on :)

Vlad, props to you mang, looks really sweet !!!

Really like the evo 3 ? (gap fillers) trims, and would love to see an MT2 Alcantara steering wheel to match the other goods.

Also, do really, really like the material delete on top lid, and that shadow trim is sweet.

Now, i don't know about the amount of front extension on lower lip, the splitter's fine, but the lip is way elongated, maybe if it was a first generation m3 one, kind of like on the hard topped one.

The interior goes w/o saying, we know you'll come through.

Congratulations mang and sorry about not selling you the HT, next time at cost, since you're such a brother-mang :)

cheerios,
B. Regards,
Frank

VLAD'S hair is always a mess because of his girls - so mirrors up or down, won't matter:)

I had one, never liked the fell, it's too big and bulky for me, this Alpina steering wheel feels 10 times better and is much classier

You ever seen "Scarface" with Al Pacino? "Mang" = "Man"

"Hey Mang! How you doin Mang?"

[m42technic]

Its a looker. Thought about a roll bar for it?

That or the movie Hustle and Flow. Same thing...same thing.

Theres a time for full top down and a time to have the windows up. On a nice day I might have the top down for a short drive to get some food, but i will then put the windows up to talk on the phone or pick up my girl. It helps, but just a little.

Uhm, I always wondered what do they feel like when driving, and, their durability if used with dirty hands, never the less.

Do agree with MT2 bulkiness, I have the smaller of the 2 versions and it seems huge on my Zinno iC (so she's on m3/mt1 unit), yet, it feels perfect on the Delphi iC. , odd.

just accent speaking, as UNHCLL and stevofthahill mention...

[bmwm3n528]

Hey Vlad,
I say run the nogaro silver style 5's they will fit the car better than any other rim, trust me I have put a bunch of different wheels on mine and the basketweave design looks the best! As for that summer cruise, I would say yes but there may be a "change of plans" I'll let everyone know when it is finally done"

Are those Style 5s or ACTs?

[Bill 84 318i]

Dude, calm down.

I'm not worked up - sorry that you're so defensive.

They could have just bought car with a large sunroof.

Sounds like a cool car to me! :-P

[enercity]

Vlad, car looks great man. Were those pictures taken at 5pointz? or is that somewhere in your town?

[blck325is]

..Damn you and your cars vlad. Seriously, you must make some serious paper to do that vert so nice. Honestly I wish I had one of your whips, just one and I would be done. Very nice work on the vert, I was quite amazed.

[golde30]

dude, are those tails extra smoked startec's? nice.
