Very nice. You should be able to get the 1M door cards... I've seen them floating around in FS threads often enough...
If you do that though, You're gonna need to do the rear seats coz they'll be the only red left, right? |

Yup
I was toying with retriming the performance seats in coral red like a couple of the m3's have done. |

That would look HOT! If you do that then I'd leave the door cards as-is...

Theres a dead stitch there so it can still blow out
I already had the little storage box there before so luckily no cutting necessary |

265/30/19 front 295/30/19 rear PSS. I know youre going to say something about going wider since youre running 285s on stock fenders lol but my wheel offsets are too aggressive for anything bigger. When I ordered them I didnt realise the 135i flange hubs are a full cm wider than the 1m and its been a mission getting them to fit at all. I still have a scrubbing issue im trying to iron out at the moment. Theres probably 2cm inner clearance from the struts
Thanks! |

thanks mate. I think your thread has convinced me to switch my coilovers to the ohlins lol. at the moment I have ST's. The shipping and customs was about 50% as expensive as the actual parts lol. The diffuser is a perfect fit. I feel like the hood could be a couple of mm wider on either side but I've got it fitting relatively well now I think
Thanks its custom made/retrimmed by DCT motorsports. They will use pretty much any material combination/stitching you can imagine. Think their website is dctms.com |

Thanks mate, yeah thatd be good. Are you on ohlin OEM springs or swift? Im particularly interested in how much compression travel there is. I feel like my STs are too soft and low and I could fix the scrubbing with different coils. Just ordered adjustable camber links to try that first though.
