New (to me) BMW 325ti compact - what next

[timetothink]

Hi all.

just bought this little monster and must say im thrilled with it! Had a VW V64mo before this and wondered how they would compare..... hands down this wins :-)

Anyway im looking to freshen its looks a little as although it doesnt loom to bad the wheels do datebit somewhat.

Im looking to get something like this done (see pics) what do you think?

I would like to stance it and have wider rears as well if possible.

Anyone gpt any advice or contacts and has anyone else done it (sure you have) and was there any problems etc.

Cheers

Hey thanks for the comments and suggestions so far. Good to know that i can fit the staggered wheels. I think thr compact looks great and this can only add to it. :-)

Ok so wettimg myself now as i think these will make such a visual differemce but i need some re-assurance that they will fit. They are slightly staggered and am now petrified they wont fit. They have curbing all round but am not going to worry about this til the spring. Was a bargain domt mind admittin.....

Thanks. Really am pleased with how it looks now. Get passed this winter then most limley overhaul alloys and any niggles with body work etc. Just cant understand why someone wouldnt have opted for these from new...... crazy!!!

At last it seems i have found the adult grin factor to the classic scooby i once had in my youth :-)

[timetothink]

As stated previously i had a VW V6 4mo before this and although lovely just didnt do it 4 me. I really feel like im driving a future classic with this car. Love the colour, love the drive and love the admiration it attracts (one thing the golf never did). One happy bog at mo :-)
