Took a few photos :)

RaihaX · 10-19-2011, 05:52 AM

Excuse my poor photography skills, I haven't really taken photos of my car for a while so took some when I got home today.

Thinking of wrapping my roof gloss black - what do you all think? and most likely a lip (still deciding as I am pretty low and would be scrapping all over the place) and I should be finish exterior wise

*edit* remove the imageshack images and uploaded to the forum instead

Just in case anyone is wondering i have no rubbing after a conservative roll on the rear fenders.

GT-CX Wheels

18 x 8.5 +ET 45
18 x 9.5 +ET 50

Bridgestone S-04 Pole Position - 225/40/18 & 255/35/18

Lowered with KW V1 at about 1.3"-1.4" all round

Looks awesome!

defs do a roof wrap!

Zuzu · 10-19-2011, 06:01 AM

How much have you been quoted for the roof..

I just got a quote to rap the VO 1M roof in CF vinyl.

ippykaye · 10-19-2011, 06:23 AM

Looking good- have you considered also wrapping your mirrors in CF or gloss black to match the black theme (wheels/spoiler/diffuser)?

I'm getting my mirrors wrapped in CF this weekend. Still deliberating about the roof in gloss black. If I didn't have a sunroof, I'd get it wrapped in CF. I also need to decide re: diffuser.

Joe, how much were u quoted with ur CF roof? Is this through Mike@CarbonDemon?

Lips- you'd be at greater risk of scraping since you're lowered with the KWs but i think it'll set the look off perfectly with your spoiler. I'm considering the Kersher front lip.

Yep it was Mike..

$350 in mat or gloss black
$450 in CF

That was just the initial quote.. Still have to negotiate the $$$

Had a look at the job he did on Stuart's roof and it was perfect.

woosh · 10-19-2011, 06:56 AM

Add a Kersher front lip and that's exactly how I'd do up my future 135i too!! Regarding being too low, you just got to practice taking driveway / gradient changes with caution. After a while it becomes second nature.

In the spirit of negotiations, tell him Sublime (http://carbonwrap.com.au/) do CF wraps for $300

Honny · 10-19-2011, 07:14 AM

Mate, I'm astonished how your car is transformed since the last time i saw it.

However I'm not a fan of vinyl roofs - btw how are the tyres?

I was quoted $320 for CF wrap for roof by these guys. Unfortunately for me they are in Waterloo Sydney.

I emailed a few places and it seems the going rate is around $300-$350.

I am emailing PY Speed about getting some wrap and doing a DIY - I am confident I can do it myself just need patient

Is about $30 for a yard but not sure how much I need for a roof.

Might also be getting some CF Fabric wrap to wrap the interior

I was looking at the CF mirror cover but I am still in two minds about it not sure how good it will look - I can't find anyone with a blue 135i that has the CF mirror cover. If you guys know of anyone on the forum please link it

I am definitely thinking of kerscher but waiting on how well Slek's lip will come out

Sounds about right - definitely would go for gloss black i think the CF is a bit too full on unless i am getting real CF

Definitely a lip that i have in mind and I always take kerbs and driveway on angle is just second nature - no scratches on my bumper so far! *touch wood*

Thanks mate - the tyres are really awesome still havent really push the car as I was babying the car while waiting to get my fender rolled.

When I get my AR DP and BMW PE I will be going up the hills to test it out

PS. I hope you dont mind me copying your signature style Harlequin ?

Waiting on his awaited CF product line for our 135i that suppose to come out soon

Honny · 10-19-2011, 08:05 AM

Sounds like a plan... Tell me when you get your stuff installed, i want to go back to the hills with the PSS and PROcede.

I was shitting myself with my bald RFT last time.... In the rain too!

Thanks for the pictures - damn why do you always temp me with all this mods mate!

I already succumb with the BMW PE haha...

It does look good and would go well if I wrap my roof as well..

decision decision - already spend so much for the BMW PE and AR DP and possibly and ETS intercooler...

Thanks for the warning for PYSpeed and any chance you can take more photos of your CF mirror cover mate? I am interested on how much of a gap there is when the cover meets the black section of the mirror.

I can only see the original white if I look at the underside from behind... I don't think you'd be able to tell at all with the colour of yours but I will take some when I get a chance...
