I like where your going with the wheel option, very nice. Are you looking a a 330 or M3 with SC? If M3 then it might be worth feeling the power of the standard car before making any considerations on a SC especially if your going to be using it weekends only.

As for interior options both red or cinnamon are good choices but your find very few in cinnamon as it was an individual colour. I prefer carbon black and coupes to me seem to flow better and accept more radical mods.

Either way your end up with a great car just make sure you have deep pockets to reach your goal.

Partial answer:

Go opposites on the rims. Dark car, light rims/Laight car, dark rims. Dark and dark works, but only in the right light for me, can look a bit much sometimes.

Vert or coupe depends on what you want from the car. For sporty go coupe, for bruiser/cruiser go vert. If you're going to go show more than go, which it sounds like (and especially if you're going to mod the interior heavily) then I'd say go open.

Yeh defo m3, i'm used to my cars having big power i grew up with cossies so i will defo be going for supercharger. I think ess are used to working on eurospec cars whereas active are more american, but you get alot more for your money with their kits, but ive heard they have lag problems so i think ill go with the ess and just fork out for the extras. Thanks for the replys guys as usual your a great help

Hi Adamod,


First of all buy yourself a Alpina Spoiler, then look for a Vert,They if the spoiler perfectly ;) :D :D.


Goog luck in which way you go.

Cheers Dave

I don`t know of any customer cars with the CFR kit fitted yet, there aren`t any in the UK not even a demo at the minute.

ESS tune a lot of euro cars but not many RHD M3`s, getting the mapping right on mine took ages and was quite sensitive to the quality of fuel in it (97 min.)

I don`t think I`d fancy hooning a CFR550 kitted car around on 20`s `tho.

There wont be any "lag" with the AA kit or any other supercharger.

[peppernick]

Get a vert ;)

Looking at your modding theme, you'll find the vert more special.

I would keep the Daytona's centres silver. Lots of detail on show there, don't want them lost in a sea of black/gun metal :)

[ADAMOD]

Dave thanks for the pics you took, I'l defo run with that spoiler if i get a vert i dont like the way the vorsteiner csl bootlid doesn't follow the lines of the rear quarters.you can see in this pic

[ADAMOD]

which colur would you go for nick

[peppernick]

Silver Gray ;) ..... with Cinnamon if you can find one.

[styler2002i]

wow.. u have practically brought a whole new car there bruv... lol... i like your direction..

personally if ur going for a weekend car.. go for a vert.. nothing like poseing with hood down and cruising along..

if your gonna go for a dark colour like carbon black compliment it with a lighter interier, like red... very nice...

supercharger wise i think you should talk 2 some1 more versed on the subject like Roy from CA hes your man/company.

cant wait to see your car dude.. and the development...

[styler2002i]

hidesh's colour is spot on aswell i loving that vert to... its all down to what catches your eye... i remember when i brought mine i was loving the laguna seka blue and had seen a few until i saw a carbon black with red nappa leather... i fell in love.. and as they say the rest is history... but i am spraying it white now... so.. it didnt last long lol....

[EvilE90]

I was going to post a new thread asking opinions about what wheels to get for my Tiag E90. But after reading your thread i have gone with and sticking to my original decision of getting LM's with Black centres. The silver M3 With the dark centre looks so agrresive! So my opinion would be Black centres on silver M3 with Red interior- Be Bold! A car like that has to look bold.

[ADAMOD]

Thanks for all the feedback guys it's a great help, cant wait to get the car and get the pics up following the different stages of development.:D

[EvilE90]

Oh and vert would be a nice choice with the hardtop, i always think the car somehow looks alot wider when the hardtops on the vert.

[ADAMOD]

Bold is what i'm going for you hit the nail on the head

[Moe]

Go for a vert you will never regret it, ry go for a white one??? if i had a choice of any colour i would go for techno violet with champaign
