Rocking the lemon interior! Great looking ride mate!

Fabi189 · 06-10-2012, 06:32 AM

Thanks guys!

I'm very pleased to hear you like it

Just one more idea.... I'm pretty lazy about cleaning the covers of the exhaust. There's always a lot of grime on it. So I thought about using black exhaust covers.....
The original 135i covers should be right....

Do or Don't?

I also thought about carbon wrapped ones.... but I think carbon diffusor and carbon covers will be just to much an bite each other....

Fabi189 · 06-12-2012, 04:00 AM

Inevitable I will have to change my exhaust sytem....
and cause I found an real cheap but also real perfect custom exhaust builder, I will have the chance to meet my custom wishes.

Which do you like best? I'm in two minds.....

I think the quad option is to M-like...... or not?
My favourite is the oval one....i think....

So please help me by my decision

GClark91 · 06-12-2012, 04:22 AM

Quad or oval! I would go quad though!

Fabi189 · 06-12-2012, 06:16 AM

Thank you for your feedback!

I tend to the oval ones.... UNLESS I get the Hamann exhaust covers for the quad system. They look SO hot!

Another nice option for the oval ones would be the Akrapovic covers. BUT I think to much carbon is

GClark91 · 06-12-2012, 08:31 PM

Ohh man those tips are so hot!

Yeah it might be a little too much carbon tho. good luck with the search!

2 days to go

On monday morning I get my car to the exhaust shop.

I decided to take two oval tips, they will be also stainless steel and cut sharp (not rolled!)

Pretty excited now

comar1979 · 07-14-2012, 08:47 AM

Cant wait to hear and see it 8)

Fabi189 · 07-15-2012, 03:52 AM

On Thuesday evening the car should be ready

Yesterday first try on a normal diffuser, before I saw up my Performance Carbon one

Fabi189 · 07-18-2012, 10:06 AM

Pretty cool video Fabi! Your car does not even sound like a diesel anymore!

So what kind of exhaust setup is that? Do you still have your particle filter(DPF) in there? I guess the rear section is just a straight pipe right? Sounds good!!

Btw... I also liked the other video(on Vimeo) with Marco & Fabi.

Fabi189 · 07-23-2012, 12:59 PM

Haha

thank you! That's what I wanted to hear.... "doesn't sound like a diesel"

Jeeeeahhh......aaahmmm....quite straight pipe

really straight

BUT still got "TÜV"

Dosturbos · 07-24-2012, 08:11 PM

Sounds like an STI with proper aftermarket exhaust, definitely not a fart cannon. Nice rumble. Sick looking car.

Fabi189 · 07-25-2012, 03:31 AM

Thank you Dosturbos!

Just listened to some sti's on youtube...you're right! Sounds similar, but mine sounds even darker

Fabi189 · 08-11-2012, 12:11 PM

Today I tried BMW Performance Seats....not realy sure if i should keep them

Fabian - you should reupholster the seat side bolsters in "Lemon" white, so they match. I think that would look HOT!!!

Knob · 08-11-2012, 12:22 PM

Keep em, but you need moar alcantara

Fabi189 · 08-11-2012, 12:45 PM

More Alcantara? Where would you add some more?

It is almost everything alcantara.... door handels....idrive....panels of windowswitches (don't know correct name)

Knob · 08-11-2012, 02:14 PM

You can never get enough ALCANTARA!

just kidding...

comar1979 · 08-12-2012, 04:19 AM

I love them! But if you sell them...
