My New 118D M-Sport - Mods and Retro-fits
Hello everyone,
- I’m a new member I have recently become a proud owner of a 2007 E87 LCI M-Sport Le Mans Blue 118d (previously a Audi A3 owner). I have decided to create my perfect looking 1er. I will be doing quite a few things to it adding lots of pictures, DIYs, retro-fits, and diagrams to help everyone do/make these changes to your own 1ers, as there are a lot of same question out there, so hopefully here will be a good source of lots of these mods. Ok lets begin… Project code name : Twilight (because its gonna be black on dark blue lol) Car Background – first things first is abit of background about the car and why this one…
Ok soo lets begin with how it looks currently This is my wish list for future planned projects:
There has been quite a few ppl that have made these things possible to conceive, especially the sound stage, people like Technic, who’s expertise has been vital to making final decisions and choices. I will be posting the people and links that helped me along the way and pay my due course respect to those before me. Please give your opinions and advise on these mods, photos will be added as well as the instructions and how things went over the next few weeks. Thanks guys wish me all the best, and hope everything goes well! Last edited by Pavlo; 09-18-2011 at 07:15 AM.. |

That's a nice car you bought. But are you really sure about the all black roof and wheels? won't that look strange when the rest is dark blue? or are you re-spraying in a diffrent colour?

Thanks! I've just had it resprayed now, I going to post some pics shortly, I have had it done the same colour Le Mans Blue, its my favorite BMW colour. So It now looks super crisp not a single scratch or chips anywhere, I've got a few mods happening this weekend including the roof, I think it will look super, cos on a dark colour like grey or black it not nice ive seen it just looks no different and on white its too common so I'm bored of seeing it. I think the dark blue should just be perfect. Plus I think Black on Dark Blue is going to sit well its like a Blue suit, with Black Shirt!

Thanks man, yeee but u know what I had these couple of guys saying that the 207Ms are ugly..... and I was like what!! In my IMO these are some of the nicest rims on a 1er they give it such a good stance... What do you think? or should I change them for 18" like 208, 261? Plus do you think I should "Smoke" or "Gloss Black" them. I think smoke may not be dark enough to match by Dark Blue and Black theme....

the 207M smoked gun metal like mine are pretty nice in the alpine white. I like very much the 208M but many people have it. I have in my garage the 216 Motorsport to be smoked .. will make the change next time i need new tires. I dont like the 207M in black as the rim is "close type" and will look even more smaller. Your car & mine would look "mad" with the 182 - Black: check it out. http://www.salesafter.eu/product_inf...idgestone.html |
