Couple Photo's After a Wash.

Here's a few shots I took of my C32 and a friends 328i after a quick wash and drive around town.

I see you've been hit with the modding bug. The car is looking good, would have been nice if you color matched the front grill, but I'm biased. I'm jealous that your car looks so new. I think I need to repaint my car to have it look as new as yours does.

Nice one Dirty...

I'm so ready to get this car lowered, hoping this guy in town buys my 2000 Lincoln LS this weekend so I'll have a little extra cash to play with. I was looking for a little advice on the lowering aspect since I'm not ready to drop $1500+ on coilovers and feel springs would do for now.

I actually did the badges myself Ramos, pretty easy if you want to PM me. I put the Kompressor badges back on last night in black and I love it. I ordered a set of the regular sized badges for the trunk lid and put them on without the V6 emblem.

I though about doing a color match Loud, I had it all done in Photoshop but it looked a little bit rice. The paint is so great, there are just a few small nicks that I ordered a pen to take car of, we'll see how it turns out this weekend.

Thanks for the comments guys, let me know if anything else comes to mind.

Let me know when you decide to do springs. I have the mercedes tool for the top hat. I had bought some springs, but I never got around to installing them. I plan on doing it eventually, I just hate the roads here.

I want to the springs when I change out some of the steering components.

I want to put mine on as well, but I'm scared. Houston roads suck and I drive every where, on top of that my car has close 140k miles and I would like to replace some of the suspension components before I decide to drop it. I'd definitely be down to help, would be good practice when I decide to install mine.

eek, if you think Houston roads are bad don't drive up to the North East...

I moved from Houston up to NJ, and the roads in Houston are 100x better than the ones here... The only reason I haven't dropped mine yet is because of the roads here....


To the OP, way to represent Europe on all fronts. Both cars lookin good.
