My Official: Mtech-1, 323i Build thread! [56K NOO WAI]

Nice! Can't wait to see it all on the car! Q. Did you get the lower "flaps" for the front valance or is this the reason behind your splitter?

No I didn't get the OE wind splitters for MT1, this is one reason behind the splitter I made, but also, it will cover the crack in the bottom of the skirt, and help protect the MT1 and paint from driveways and speedbumps ect..
Plus I love the look of a nice little splitter!

No way! small world haha! I bought them from abrahams motorsport in the USA. Which means they were shipped from germany to the US and then to Australia where they are now!

This is where they originated by the looks of it:
Schmiedmann Odense A/S

From this:



to this!:



Overall I'm very happy with how everything turned out. I have taken the front valence back to the shop as I found two small runs in the clear coat on one of the vents. They are going to rub it back and buff them out for me :up:

I Got to mount the Mtechnic stickers finally!! I cut a little clear off each end of the sticker so they ticked into their little slots a bit better. The front one will have to wait







The rest looks great. The skirts look very nice and after all the prep work I put in, you almost cant tell the real one from the fiberglass one! :p









I mounted the wing and gave the car a quick wash, but the rest will have to wait until atleast the weekend. I've got too much uni work to be doing atm!









And more waiting :D

[CorvallisBMW]

I can't wait to see it all mounted!!

[RainierHooker]

This is going to be good. Very good...

Looking good, then it's time for some declared value insurance.

[JamesE30]

Got some mail today!







The chrome trim can be removed so when I rebuild the wheels again I may repaint these. But as you can see below they are MUCH nicer than what i had before (of which i only had 2).



These look sick in the sunlight!
