My Latest Project (E46 in Audi Ibsis white)

[Bradz]

Thought i should put up a Proper post about my M3 Project.

Car is now complete and took a little under 2 weeks from Start to Finish.

I know some people forwn about Playing with the M3 etc but ive never been one to follow the crowd and wanted to build something that stood out.

The car wasnt damaged in anyway and was a perfect low miles Mint Carbon Black M3 with FSH etc and the likes of Hamon kardon etc. Immaybe Crazy but thougt what the hell.


Ive never been one to Mess about so things moved VERY Fast with my M3 Project.

I bought the car 3 weeks ago as 100% Standard Carbon Black M3 but ive always loved a project, the last one Being a Grey Porsche Cayenne V8s that i had fitted with loads of speedart goodies then the colour changed to white.

So after buying the M3 a few week ago i fitted some 20" Wheels but after fitting them decided they wasnt for me and they had to go.

I found a pic of this American M3 on the net and loved it and wanted to use it as a rough idea of what i was going to build.



So the 20s were Removed and 19"LM's fitted and the car was stripped bare and the fun began.

Since then the car has had 3 guys working 15 hours a day on it all week for me and the quality is nothing short of outstanding.

The guy i use for my bodywork is one the best up here and is well known for painting the likes of Porsche 911 Cup Cars etc.

This is aint no wrap, the whole car inside and out has been painted Audi Ibis white.

All Carbon bits are seriously stunning Quality in the flesh and not cheap ebay sticky on jobbies lol.

Bumpers with the CSL Goodies will be back on the car tommorow and then ill get some proper pics along with the other bits still to be fitted


How it looked Last week.1/12/09, i fitted these 20" wheels but HATED them.




06/12/09

Some more poor quality progress pics that dont do the car justice but you get the idea of what was going on












12/12/09 and the car is Complete

Happy is an understatement.

Rear Bumper fitment isnt 100% but will be sorted and im unsure of the Carbon spoiler but in the flesh is alot better and is Growing on me.

My aim wasnt to build a CSL Replica so i didnt, i wanted to be Diff and add my own ideas to the car which i think seem to work well.

Car is soooo Bright its unreal and the looks it gets is Nuts

Red Leather goes really nice with the white.

Wont be to everyones taste but i hope you like, im Off to find a Superchgarger

Pics aint the best quality as i used my own, i will get better ones soon.

















Some before i fitted the love it or hate it Carbon Spoiler

















Its been a Busy 2 weeks but its been fun.

The Pics dont do the car justice and the looks it gets is UNREAL, on a 30min Drive, i spotted 3 people taking pics of it. Deffo stands out in the flesh.

Cheers for the comments good or bad.

The car is still being messed about with and changes made. Im pretty sure the spoiler will be removed and the Carbon CSL Boot fitted.

That pics are taken pretty much straight after i picked it up from the bodyshop, The front number plate is now fitted as it should be (i had no tape at the time).

The suspension has still to be changed and will have Coilovers fitted so will sit Lower.

Its all about trial and error, if i fit something and it looks tacky, ill soon remove it.

Ill post pics when i make more changes.

and yea i had the White Cayenne which i built too

Cheers Guys

You dont seem to do a good job at selling it.

I'm sorry but I read that ad and think 'c*nt'

calling it a 'toy' makes you out to be someone with all the money in the world and just wanting to show off about it and let everybody know and also gives me the impression its been ragged and then thrown away until the next time your feeling bored.

It is a very nice car and im sure your a very nice person but you jsut seem to come across a bit... well, spoilt i guess.

So you Read Peoples For Sale adds and think 'c*nt'? Your a nice guy eh?

so like the high % of people on here with "toys" i aint allowed to say that when i sell them?

The Fact is it IS a toy to me and i hardly use the car, i built the car how i wanted it as i thought it would be that little bit different and the wife could use it as an everyday car but the end result was something i actually dont want the wife driving and i get very little time to drive it myself, the same very reason i just sold my Escort Cosworth Show Car.

Trust me im far from spoilt nor do i rag my Cars as you put it.

I think i stopped Ragging Cars when i left my 20s :P

Im getting slated for my for sale advert, im hardly a car salesman so i did my best.

I could have sold the car a good few times in the last couple of months but due to work and the insane snow we have had up here its hardly left my garage let alone let anyone view it.

Ive just put it on ebay again with a much lower price and being honest its the last time i will list the car as the amount of timewasters and tyre kickers is unreal when trying to sell something like this.

The weather was nice all last weekend (for a change) and i did a good few miles and really enjoyed driving the car but i could be done with the cash for some other things. (i wont say Toys as that make me a 'c*nt')

Thats my Rant over but its expected on here, but for the record i read YOUR Post and actually thought it was you that was the 'c*nt'

But serious, thanks for the comments, Good or Bad.

Some more pics:
