[318 IS Cosmos]

Fitted front splitter today (thanks ken for ripping me off ) and did a quick detail on the front wings and bonnet (used clay block, chemical guy all in one polish and 2 layers of petes 53 wax...)
I found the clayblock excellent as there were tonnes of contaminents on the paint work! car is def giving off a better shine...edit must buy a decent camera and find a better place to take pics
Other mods include replica m3 mirrors (big thanks to ken and dave for them) and german style plates with surrounds..oh and clubsport gearknob which is an excellent mod!

Looks great the splitter really finishes the front bumper.

Car looks really fantastic - good work!

Serious shine going on there. Liking the german plates too.

The splitter is a subtle but effective addition

 

[318 IS Cosmos]

Thanks lads! Still cant get the majority of the swirl marks out which is really annoying...probably needs to be machine polished..next week ill have to detail the rest of the car, fit the m3 diffuser, change diff oil and replace thermostat think ill be holding on to the wheels they look so well when the car is clean

Nice to see yet another E36 being given some TLC. Looks great. Nice job on the wings/bonnet. I really need to get some time to do that soon too.

Who are you kidding your car is mint unless you've been too busy with other projects lately!

Ordered myself a kit from cleancar too so I'll be busy de-tarring mine the weekend and giving it the full valet treatment hopefully before she goes back on the road .

@318 is - car looking well indeed. Front nicely finished I'd be tempted to go with black grilles too though.

Debateable on the wheels. You'll have an M3 replica soon and the wheels will let it down a bit then being a bit small imo.

Sure that can be done at a later date!

I agree about the wheels...they do look good, but something that pushes out and fills the arch
a little better would make it more aggresive.

 

[Mike Jones]

Great job, cars lookin very well, front splitter makes a big difference, just gives it that little somethin extra

 

[318 IS Cosmos]

Id love a set of contours but they seem to be impossible to find (a good set that is)

 

[DaveD]

Looks fantastic mate - black always looks so welll when its all waxed up !

 

[kdevitt]

I'll be getting rid of the contours when I start playing with the E36!

Lovely give me a shout if/when you decide to get rid of them!

Angel Eyes

Bought a set of angel eyes off Barry (bb1) before Christmas and left the car in with the lads at AC Cars yesterday. So i picked her up today and i must say its a huge improvement over the standard lights. Big thanks to Barry and Richie And thanks for washing the car too! Next on the agenda is to pick up my new steering wheel on Monday and fit it and try and fix the heater valve thats knackered....

 

[Don B]

Looks really well, best colour for AEs definitely.

You left your fogs on though

Steering Wheel

Well i finally received my steering wheel today. It came from a M3 evo up north so i fitted it today as well. Nice improvement from my 3 spoke "sports" wheel. For some reason the car seems more responsive when i connected the battery back-any reason why this is? is it possible that i was driving in granny mode beforehand? anyway heres a few pics.
