I receive the H&R coilover kit early last week, took a couple days but finally installed it. Also changed the pads to Stoptechs, cleaned up the rotors and painted the calipers Burnt Copper. Still have a bunch of little things to do but it's coming along.

awesome! Where did you source your skirt stickers?

I have a small vinyl cutter so made it myself. But I have seen someone selling them on ebay out of the UK for under $50 with the "/// BMW Performance" sticker which I think is pretty reasonable. Also Bimmian sells them precut for the F30 for $90 but you'd need to cut it down.

I want to put some kind of decal on the car but haven't figured out what yet. If I had a supercharger it might be easier.

Daemonblitz · 04-13-2015, 03:39 PM

Love the way the calipers look.

Nate4641 · 04-13-2015, 03:45 PM

looks great! Love the spoiler too

Thatcher · 04-13-2015, 03:45 PM

I'm not at all a fan of the skirt decals or the obnoxious rear wing, but the ride height and wheels look great.

Mirko · 04-13-2015, 03:45 PM

Like the drop, looks really good! Looking forward to seeing in person.

Still undecided on the sticker though.

UntzUntzUntz · 04-13-2015, 03:57 PM

She's beautiful. The calipers look stunning!
Post the updates on "the little things" you do in the future.

How you like the coilovers?

Aries326 · 04-13-2015, 04:01 PM

Looks great! What kind of caliper paint did you use?

With the rear wing it's a love hate relationship. It's not very photogenic, but it does looks good in person. Kind of like Seinfeld "Two Face" Girlfriend

Since the photo it has been removed, I thought it was too short.

Don't know yet cuz only drove it around the block a couple times. I'll keep you updated on the little things. Actually one worth mentioning is the steering wheel controls. I wrapped half with carbon fiber wrap and painted the other half. I think it turned out really well.

I used VHT Engine Metallic Its called Burnt Copper. I took the brakes apart, removed the mounting brackets to paint everything thoroughly. Took a little longer but I'm glad I did it this way. It should do until I get a BBK but that wont be for awhile.

NickyC · 04-13-2015, 05:54 PM

Great drop, coilovers just complete these cars.

dubsesd · 04-13-2015, 07:53 PM

looks great lowered, and i see my decal idea is spreading lol. i dont think it goes as well with silver wheels, but the shape and length have alot to do with it.

im also on H&R coils and love the ride

GP20 · 04-13-2015, 08:30 PM

Did you wrap the steering wheel covers yourself or did you have a shop do it? How was the difficulty?

Can't answer for him, but I've done it and it's very easy.

I did it myself, it was a bit tedious but very doable.

Looks good. Which wrap product did you use and where did you source it locally?

I ordered a few feet last year off ebay and did the entire dash but there are a few guys selling locally on kijiji. 3M DI-NOC Textured Carbon Fiber Bubble Free is what I got. If you just want to do those 2 pieces, I have some scraps left over that you can have.

Vanne · 04-14-2015, 03:57 AM

sweet ride, looks like you've done a lot of hard work on the car mate, and the burnt orange callipers suit the colour. good job mate.

keep us posted.: D

ps, nice wheels

Thanks. I am thinking about covering all three spokes. I see a guy in Markham is charging $7/sqft, so maybe I'll see if he will mail me a small sheet. Thanks again!

Coilovers are definitely the way to go, great choice with the H&Rs! Not only aesthetics, I'm sure you're enjoying the new ride as well.

Nice! Ride height is spot on
