Talking Defected from Bimmerpost to here and damn happy!

Even though I really liked the way they've split up each forum into individual sections, I'm happy with my '09 C63 purchase as of recent!

Bought Tenorite Grey and pretty much stock options, although much is planned at this stage!

Small mods purchased so far are:

- PCMCIA adapter
- AMG Door pins
- Aluminium Footrest
- Piano Black Full Trim Set minus memory seat surrounds (bargain! purchased from ebay UK for 90 pounds!)
- 2012 C63 Steering Wheel and Airbag (On its way from Romania)

Planned Mods over the next 6 months:

- Silver Rims! Tossing up between Breyton BE GTS-AV or Advan F15s (at this stage sticking with 19" although I believe the Advans now come in 20" but not sure about the offsets and brake clearance)

- ECU flash (Still investigating, who is good value in Australia?)

- Mid-pipes (getting my head around single and double X pipes, I dont want loud but tone is really important ~ prefer higher pitch)

- Either 2012 C63 rear bumper OR First's SL63 type W204 rear bumper with super aggressive CF diffuser OR Renntech rear diffuser with intergrated exhaust tips

- 2012 rear tail lights

- Revozport F1 safety car front bumper

- Quaife LSD! (Last on list but probably first to install!)

I'm pretty sure, this would be near perfection for me!

As a background, if any are still reading this my previous car was a wide-body 335i, definitely one of the most powerful currently in Australia and in this month's Performance BMW (July issue) if any are curious? OTAKU number plates which are now on my C63!

I'll update this thread with some scans and photos very soon but really couldn't wait! I'm really excited about the new project although holding off on the performance related mods until I become more proficient with this car and re-program my brain from turbo back to NA!

That's it from me for now!

You need to attend a M3 deprogramming intervention before we are convinced you are not a spy.

Sorry the piano black was a eBay Auction but yeah they were scuffed a bit and I'll have to sand them back and re-clear them!

I'll be waiting to receive the Aluminium foot-rest first before I post a link in-case they are crap quality

Isn't tenorite grey the European/Australian name for steel grey? :P
