tlr's 2011.5 SG E93 M3

tlr · 02-28-2011, 03:16 AM

I finally finished my first round of mods and got around to taking some decent photos. I'm going for a Space Gray base / carbon fiber accent / amber lighting theme.

They're obviously post-processed a bit... I'm not a good enough photographer to make them look good on their own, but I think you can get a good idea of what it looks like.

Exterior:

18mm/15mm wheel spacers (Macht Schnell installed by Sonic MS)
Matte black shadowline trim (installed by ModProjeKt)
Carbon fiber accents (kidney grill, hood vents, side grills, mirror caps, plate frame) and smoked front reflectors (various sources)

Other:

Electronic exhaust cutouts (Race Ready Performance cutouts installed by Alekshop)
Valentine 1 remote display in rear view mirror mirror (Alekshop)
Front/rear cameras (Alekshop)

Favorites so far are the exhaust cutouts (I've gotten lots of compliments on the sound), matte black shadowline trim (absolutely essential on most E93s, IMHO), and spacers.

To do:

Tint
Amber angel eyes
Amber side turn signals
Amber (Euro) tail lights (maybe)
Front lip (maybe)
Rear diffuser (maybe)
???

What do you guys think? Where would you go from here?

I've especially been wavering on whether a CF lip/diffuser would look good on a space gray and/or convertible. This thread convinced me SG and a CF lip would look good together, but I'm still not sure about the convertible, I feel like it might seem out of place. Thoughts?

Thanks.

DCMETRO22Z · 02-28-2011, 07:04 AM

beautiful !!! Before clicking the thread, i told myself "I hope the car hasn't that fugly chrome trim"

I wasn't disappointed !! congrats

Great looking E93! The Euro tail lights are going to look nice.

Blindside_137 · 02-28-2011, 12:15 PM

wow looks incredible, can't believe we get that nausty aluminum trim

great work, dont think you necessarily need a lip but the challenge lip would go fantastic with it along with the euro tails.

but love it, get some more pics!

Beautiful

GOLFFRR · 02-28-2011, 12:35 PM

i like it a lot! def nicely done

dirtyfreebooter · 02-28-2011, 12:47 PM

Cool! I would love to see more close up shots of the carbon fiber accessories. It hard to really get a good look with low res shots. It is hard to tell them from just plain black. You would be the one stop thread for ppl looking into carbon accessories!

You're in luck, I did snap some photos of the CF parts plus the smoked reflectors (sorry some of them are a little blurry)...

(the best one of the mirror cap is in the first set of photos above)

Subtle changes - but they make a big difference for those of us who take notice.

jonasaurus · 02-28-2011, 01:46 PM

Nice one! CF bits set it off nicely as does the blackshadow line trim

Thanks. Looks pretty sweet. I like it as much or better than all black. Especially on the Space Gray.

very nic!!

Gkap · 03-01-2011, 08:46 AM

very nice! SG is an amazing colour.

richard313 · 03-01-2011, 11:13 AM

great color combination!

Cal@Sonic MS · 03-01-2011, 05:01 PM

Looking good

robotrenegade · 05-09-2011, 01:46 PM

I love the look! Can you show more photos? I'd like to see the following, if you don't mind.

1: Side shots of the roof up and down

2: Close up shots of the trim

I'm looking to go matte black trim as well.

ooowowizstev · 05-09-2011, 04:53 PM

Nice!

Maseroche · 05-10-2011, 02:36 AM

Nice work so far and a factory splitter would really enhance the looks while still staying subtle.

49ER ROLL · 08-01-2011, 04:53 AM

have you figured out which diffuser to go with?
