If by "active" you guys mean "adaptive" headlights, then from the photos in this thread, the shape of the inner (smaller) headlights tell me that your car does not have adaptive headlights.

The inner part should look like in this photo if equipped with adaptive lights (ignore the fact that it is a pre-LCI headlight):

25th August I am not sure yet if I will be in Bonnie Scotland then, if something is arranged and I am I will come.

A few updates required.....

Fitted the LUX V4 but it showed up a clear discrepancy in the brightness of one angel eye compared to the other, have removed them from now until I get the headlights sorted

Then work began on the rocker cover...

Light blue stripe a little off, but other than that a close match for colours.

Next onto something a bit more serious....

Both are now fitted and at the dealer for coding! Best mod so far...

1msd · 07-13-2013, 01:55 AM

Have also had my roof done in gloss black! Think it looks a lot better!

Some nice mods there bud,you mention the seats as being great,how is the seating position,look higher to me?ive got the electric seat option in my car and find them high,I'm not a tall lad,but like a low seating position,also the standard seats aren't very supportive as i find myself sliding about in them very easy when pressing on,tempted with Recaro spg,but wife has a baby on the way,really need folding seat or buy a track car instaed

I think the original seat position is slightly lower than when these are fitted however they do hold you in well and maintain comfort, heating elements, and airbags. I've not noticed it being a problem but then im also not the tallest around! What to do is send me a PM and ill give you a shout when I'm heading up the road next and you can try them out!

Cool,should get a few together for a wee road trip

Axelf · 12-27-2013, 05:01 AM

I will be up in Aberdeen on 26th Jan for a 5 day course

Chris ABP · 01-02-2014, 10:31 AM

Your car looks great!

You will be happy to know that your Akrapovic exhaust system, valve kit and K&N drop-in filter are now on their way with UPS so expect to see them tomorrow

Cheers, Chris

ps. Any other UK based 1M owners we can supply Akrapovic, Milltek, K&N, Forge intercoolers, Eibach springs, Stoptech brakes plus many more parts for the 1M

1msd · 01-10-2014, 02:48 PM

Had the akrapovic fitted. Gives off a great note with the valves open, and really quietens it down for longer drives etc when closed. Top quality exhaust as you would expect from Akrapovic.

Just returning back from a trip to visit the lads at DMS Automotive. Overall a great experience from a knowledgeable pair, know exactly what they are doing with the maps and got it spot on! Figures came out at 445bhp and around 460ftlbs of torque. So much more responsive, aggressive acceleration, yet smooth delivery at the same time. Will post up photos/graphs tomorrow. I'd recommend anyone looking for tuning in the UK to give Rob and his guys a call. Thumbs up from me!

RKR · 01-11-2014, 10:59 AM

Car is coming together nicely mate! Very jealous of all the recent modifications, Akrapovic...

Been considering a trip down to DMS too, they are just so bloody far away though! Will have to decide soon as I've been in contact with Rob for the past week. 445bhp with the tune and the other additions must be mental ha.

Ollieb7 · 01-11-2014, 12:20 PM

I like this thread and have considered playing the same game - but then i still come to the same conclusion... 997 GT3 is next and i think the more you play around with the 1M the less desirable it will be for the next punter... Its a bit like the mk2 16v oak green Golf, wheres the standard one?

Saying that i could still be full of sh#t,

just got a set of 295/30/19 meats for the rear.. There's no chance they look like they will fit...

1 question - who else in Scotland has a black one?

Get down there! It will be worth the trip definitely!

Everything can easily put back to standard, it is after all just an exhaust intercooler and remap!

I'm sure I've seen a black one in aberdeen, is that you?

Might be, might not be...

Currently in steath mode with Winter M3 18inchers
