Has Heidi lost here innocence?

Heidi came to us in looking a little sheepish, a little scared, but from the hint of here already installed subtle mods, we new she had it in her to become the 'it' girl on the block. Time for Heidi to stand out from the crowd. So the owner went in search of the best for his gal

We need to get the look right first so up step the BMW Performance Spring kit for the right look.


A little peek of eye candy



Some ladies like to be seen but not heard but Heidi......
BMW Perfomance Rear Muffler

A little peek of ICarbon rear diffuser


Heidi, show us blokes under your hood...
Throttle spacer, AFE Intake, forge divertor valves


RPI Scoops

A bit more bling for the lady
BMW Performance strut brace



So how does she look outside




ENJOY

Fantastic! What a great job you've done with that saucy little minx, Andrew.

I'm a big fan of the diffuser and PE combo, I'd love to have a set fitted on my car. And a Quaife LSD. And some Perf rotors. And a better IC. And some DP's. And... well, the list goes on really.

Hiya Andrew,

Firstly thanks for the advice while I was on the road. I took Heidi up to Milawa and then across to the Yarra Valley.

The whole package feels so complete the handling is sublime. Driving from Whitfield to Mansfield really showed how well the suspension mods have made the handling as last year did the same trip and you could really feel the leans into the bends, now it's just cruising with a little more speed.

The exhaust is loud when cold in the morning but the sound whilst under load is 1nce again sublime, especially in 1st just rolling down a steep driveway (Tarrawarra Winery), very verbal in that situation. Cruising from Melb to Milawa the exhaust was audible (obviously) but not intruding at all.

Andrew or is that Dr. Andrew or Sir Andrew , you trully are a master of your profession.

P.S. The SSK you fitted about 6mnths ago has finally found the package it needed, just need to fit that Procede, very soon hopefully.

Regards,

Richard

The BMW Performance springs sit a touch lower than the standard M Sport springs and they are $880

More Mods for Heidi coming over the next few weeks.

One day I'll actually get around to taking some pix of her.
