Appreciate it.

He will post anywhere in the world FOC and they are of top quality and very easy to apply.

Just got mine! They are a little more expensive and you only get 4 (compared to the 8 from the ebay one someone listed) but they look great. Excuse the camera phone the colors (light blue) are slightly off but wanted to show you guys!

Aussie: You used the larger or smaller ones on your fronts?

Will be dropping the car off to KW on Monday for the DDC coilover set up.

Last weekends Ring run.....

This is absolutely gorgeous. It should have come from the factory with at least a black roof option. Kias make me jealous with their black roof setup. It really perfects the look of the 1m.

as7920 · 05-05-2012, 11:42 AM

Your car mate is without doubt one of the best 1M's out there.

Absolutely love everything you have done to it!

hybris4u · 05-05-2012, 11:55 AM

Time for RevoZport carbon bonnet with aerocatch option? I just love the looks...

hybris4u · 05-05-2012, 11:58 AM

Im a couple of steps behind you. Also going to wrap the roof. Just not sure if I should go black gloss like you or carbon? Still looking for a carbon wrap that match the BMW Performance 2*2 look.

Do have the BMW Performance sidemirrors and love them. But they need a black roof to be perfect. Yes the White OEM ones are Lovely also but I love the black/White combo.

I do like that bonnet but will not be doing anymore ordering from the US having been stung once and left out of pocket, but I do believe revozport are sorting out a UK branch and will be keen to check out the carbon diffuser ....... Aerocatches on a road car are not my thing, I do currently run a pair on my trackday opc.

hybris4u · 05-06-2012, 09:26 AM

RevoZport have European dealers. So you don't need to order from the US.

I am thinking that rear diffuser could be on the cards..

1M is now in the capable hands of KW UK.....

Looks good Shane. Can't wait to hear what the final results are like

Aussie_in_London · 05-12-2012, 02:49 AM

All done and pick up the 1M early next week........Had to buy a new ipod touch as mine had developed some sort of corrupted hardware issue, but a part payment exchange was better than paying the full amount for a newbie......So it is all equipped now with the ddc app and ready to go.

Evo was out yesterday giving it a run so keep an eye out in the the next edition or so.

Aussie_in_London · 05-17-2012, 05:51 AM

firechicken99 · 05-17-2012, 09:20 AM

They let you ride that no helmets??! lol. You guys are so lucky to be that close to the 'ring to just "head there for a test drive".... us Americans can only dream!!!

Aussie_in_London · 05-18-2012, 01:34 PM

Helmets are not a requirement on touristenfahrten sessions as it is deemed a toll road and German road rules apply, but from time to time I do wear a helmet, yeah and it is great to be able to drive over for a 'test drive' and one of the great things that keeps me putting up with the shitty so called drought we have in the UK and all the bloody rain, otherwise I would be back in Aus by now lol

Aussie_in_London · 06-14-2012, 03:07 AM

Just thought I would chuck up some recent pics (post detail/paint correction), The 1M is currently in with H&S for a custom made midpipe back and due pick up on Sat, also due to collect the steering wheel after having it covered in alcantara......

edwardio · 06-14-2012, 07:15 AM

Great pictures great car :-)

Papethova · 06-14-2012, 09:53 AM

Polar Bear?? More like a Wampa to me!!!

Jezzer · 06-14-2012, 10:24 AM

Not bad!! If you vinyl the bonnet and boot in gloss black as well it'll pass as a Luton Taxi

But really....
