Thanx guys

When are the 19s coming?
You have to go for the 'three wheel sizes in three weeks'
:)

Can't wait for the 19's :rolleyes:

Nicotine: Glad to see it back on the road!

Even though I voted for the Rieger bar the E46 one looks a lot better than the pics you showed me before. Carbon looks pretty cool too.... prob saved a bit of weight too....

Anyway man i'm back in Sydney so we'll go for a cruise sometime... maybe saturday night....

Looks real good Nico, bet your glad you have it all back new and improved. Did you get the BBS wheels repaired??
If anyones keen I am up for a drive on Saturday night but I can't stay out too late because I am heading to Wakefield early on Sunday morning for the Konica V8 round

i LOVE the colour and the little lip spoiler!!!

If anyones keen I am up for a drive on Saturday night

This looks like a possibility then..... but where we going... I also can't stay out too late....

Thanx guys...

It's hard for me to imagine how they would look on your car - but I'm sure it'll look pimp - just the way you like it :)

Thats not so bad, heres my advice:
Drink as much of the free booze as you can handle then go and hit up some of the bridesmaids (if any of them are good looking that is) or any other good looking female guests, possibly more fun then a cruise if you get lucky ....:D :buttrock :alright

Just put the wheels on PHAT!!! still heaps of room..damn would have put 10" in the rears and 8.5" in front. Only had one mishap and that was to do with the muffler rubbing the rear left tyre not good...didnt know what it was but had a quick fix temporary..tommorow gotta get the muffler moved slightly to the right..

Drives better than the 18's suprisingly..maybe cos I was taking it easy...

Anyways here are the pics..shit as quality for some reason...tommorow will take better ones.

Wow looks Pimp! Certainly better than those gun-metal coloured ones Aaron ABX and I were trying to convince you to get at FB (well, you called them brake-dust colour)

Time to update that sig too, Stage 2 is underway!

Nicotine: It's coming together! The wheels look good against the paint.

Nico: Learn how to use your camera! :dunno

You know what they say: You can take the man outta the rice, but you can't take the rice outta the man :12:

How heavy are these wheels compared to BBS?

the 19s look huge! :buttrock
makes your bbs 18s look so small and inferior! hehe
nice work :clap:

Hey allen the 19's feel phucken better than the 18's...maybe cos new rubber and also I haven't given it past 4-5K RPM..
19's are like 26-28 lbs...BBS 23 pounds...u want to hear the funny bit ...I had momos for a while 17's and they weighed wait for it 30lbs... 18's are even heavier...People have a big misconception bout Momos they think momo=ferrari=LTW and racey nope...

Anyways very happy with them got the muffler moved to the right..and due to the rain have got my hardtop on and looks even hotter looks better than a fricken coupe..pics later car is dirty and wet though..

Rice ?? me ?? no...was with the "V12" badge..but aaron knows I wont put any sticker/badge on my car unless I have it..I was going to put ACS emblem but I ended not getting the ACS sways..
I dont think its rice in anyway..but to each their own.. I suppose you can call having a "DISH" on the wheels ricey! hehe more like "BOWL of rice"

you could still get the AC Schnitzer badge if you wanted too... u have AC Schnitzer pedals and the S3 carbon fibre interior

Hahaha don't worry - I didn't use "rice" as a pay-out. The carbon fibre bonnet is definitely a chapter from the rice-bible but it's cool anyways.

Can't wait to see your car in person. We need to cruise :)

My planned mods:

M Coupe logo on tach, M door sills, illuminated M gear knob, M logo on sides and rear

Stage 2: ACS, Hamman, Reiger and Dinan decals.

Stage 3: Carbon fibre eyebrows, carbon fibre short shift kit with integral CAI and carbon fibre chip.

Later stages: Carbon fibre overlays on my carbon fibre.

mate your car is sweeet

You left out Angel Eyes for your "later stages."

Jules: Still haven't seen your car after the transplant. Let's pay Erik a visit on Saturday or something.

Als!
You can come over and have a look at my newly decorated car- a resculpturer in a Corolla re-shaped my front end about three weeks ago when he changed lanes into me!
I dont want to drive it at the moment- Im having an assessor in tomorrow (thank christ), and the motor is now run in- needs to be remapped on the dyno and have the head re-torqued down, so Im reluctant to drive it around with things like valve clearances out- but like I said- feel free to come on down and have a squiz!

Jools: You can't help yourself! What is your record for days in a row without an accident or booking?

No Bookings since my drop-it-180 nearly 3 years ago on Melb. Cup day, but if the record for accident free days doesnt count other, non-motoring accidents, then it isnt as bad as youd think Kenny!

See Im accident prone, and hurt myself at least once a week!

I would visit you but my car is still at Bavariacars.

That sux with the accidents. I've had an old Magna and the previous model Camry run into the back of me. The Magna hit me at rolling speed and the Camry hit me at about snail's pace. The result of both collisions are slight scratches - but barely any loss of paint. The old-hag of a Camry driver took off when I asked him for details whereas the poor dude in the Magna didn't have insurance. I thought I'd let them both off the hook.

:eek: :eek: :eek:
In both cases i wouldve pulled panels from their car to sell at the wreckers on the way home to pay for the damage...
In the frst case i wouldve got out the ClubLock and given him a piece of my mind... people like that are absolute dropkicks, and deserve a severe beating. :mad:

Yea Adam, you are such a notorious Mountain dweller...

Hey nic it looks good in the flesh too!

The "italian" looking guy checking it out on George St yday arvo at the lights before Martin Pl was me- and the bonnet looks horn!

Now being into show competing, I think you can justifiably do something a little over the top.

Dont spray it red. Get Chameleon paint (whatever its called now), and spray the M symbol on the bonnet, leaving the rest carbon.

Insurance approved for me too- hopedully starts on Monday!!

You can't rice up an M3 really :D
the thing is too damn powerful to be questioned!
it's near impossible unless you start slapping on rally art stickers, lol.

thanx for the comments gtv sorry bout the late reply ! :)
That M as chameleon is pretty interesting idea so it'll only appear in the sun depending on the angle..I got think bout it...

Paris I think with bimmers you can't so much rice it up but you can put badges on that doesnt belong like M3 on a 318 and all that.. but in the US theres a few GT aluminium and altezza lights ..
