Lookin good from the back! I am a huge fan of what VHT Nightshades can do :tu: what product did you use to "spray-tint"?

Are you going to powdercoat the wheels or paint them?

[Droid Conductor]

The car looks nice with the tinted tails and sides. It will look real good with those wheels black :tu:

[turbo kraut]

it is some rc tint from the hobby shop here in town



and i am going to spray them with duplicolor till winter when i powdercoat them

+1, definitly a good looking car. Im pumped to see what you do with that thing, keep us updated!!! And those are some very nice wheels you have there too.

[turbo kraut]

next big thing is fmic, mbc, turbo inlet hose and a8/tt carrier(big brake kit) and possibly water/meth

i doubt i will get into anything else performance wise

oh i will maybe replacing the hood........ then in 3 or so years i will move to a a6 2.7t

[SDKmann]

Wow youve really got things planned out! At the risk of sounding like an idiot what is a mbc? I understood the rest of it but that I got lost on.... I guess thats not part of normal BMW vocabulary.

[turbo kraut]

manual boost controler........ only to control spikes


i got a gready tt, just need to install it, that should be wed

[turbo kraut]

well yes/no

wife wants a q7, but gotta pay off the a4 first then work on paying some of her car off....... then get the q7, pay some of it down and get the a6 or s4 avant

[SDKmann]

Yeah I like the Q7s a lot. And of course I love S4s avants. I personally think that the only wagon you should consider is the A4/S4 but thats just me. I dont like how the A6 avants look. You could always go for a E39 540iT and have one of the sickest sleeper BMWs ever.

the only avant i would get would be an s4, not an a4......... i was thinking maybe after i get the next car and pay it down some about either getting a tt that my wife wants for our weekend car(not so practical, w/ 2 kids, but neither is a vet) or a e36 m car

i still love the mid 80's early 90's body style, i used to have a 320i, it lacked power but looked sexy for the age....... and the 2002(bathtub) cars.......hot

[John2.0T]

S4 Avant > A6 > BMW :D

[turbo kraut]

S4 Avant > A6 > BMW :D

i know, but the a6 2.7t would be about the weight and power....... probably more room that i would need, and the bmw/tt would be a weekend cruiser


do you guys want a diy from this?

cause i will probably be painting today and i could just use the pix i have and give you one

also i could give you one on the tinted tails and side markers

[John2.0T]

Yeah definitely - anything that we can add to the DIY section will help us get a nice base :)
