M3/M4 Unplanned Incoming...

[Burnsey]

And now polished, ready for the ceramic coat tomorrow.

The paintwork was pretty good apparently. I asked the dealer not to wash and that made his job easier. The gloss black is the toughest element, but he says it’s like a mirror now…

 

[Burnsey]

And because he’s a nerd, he’s M-Striped the mats

My no modding is holding relatively firm, but couldn’t resist the alcantara MP centre arm rest, so that’s on its way.

That looks mega. You must be made up!

Big congratulations Rev. Nice one

 

[Burnsey]

Ready for coating today.

So nice without the reg plinth too…

 

[Burnsey]

And ready to collect tomorrow

Looks a pretty deep shine….

 

[Burnsey]

Collected from the detailers earlier in crap weather, but really pleased.

Got loads of photos, but time to scrub the tyres in and stop boring you all, plus I’m away now for a week or two, so last one for now…

Looks great. Look forward to seeing it with a nice gloss black front splitter to finish it off.

I won't ever bore of seeing nice cars!

Looks lush!

Returned the shit one mate and holibobs now, so have a rethink when back.

Ok, so I bought some 12mm spacers for an all round stance change. Don’t really want to lower it, so see what it looks like after the spacers first.

And so it begins!

OEM MP HAS install booked with the RIS

That is it!

Just one more mod and then that’s it……🤣

DEalercame back at £3,300 for the MP HAS kit, so cancelled. Too much for me, so just spacers to start with.

Well if you are going to fit a splitter then the last thing you want to do is lower it. Adjustability is fine but then how many actually change the settings? Springs would probably do the same job and easier to move on when you are finished.
I would fit some mud flaps though if putting spacers on…

I made the decision to lower and no splitter, but would only go OEM for warranty, but not at that cost, so back to a splitter.

A definite no to mudflaps though. I’ll take the rash!

Good call.

Fitted the 12mm spacers all round and it improves the stance, albeit still gappy at the front.

Front splitter is awful quality and the fit is really poor, but it's on for now and the car looks better for it. Need to source a replacement.

There’s limited gloss black options and I still think they’re all out of the same Chinese factory, so need to decide will one piece of carbon on the front work, or look daft and if I could live with it, it’s OEM and a two grand purchase.

M-Performance alcantara centre armrest is lush.

That's it now, honestly

 

[boba fett]

It might fit rather poorly, but it don't 'arf look good!

 

[moonstone]

looks tremendous. Lets see the armrest.
