Default U2usual 04 Imola build. :)



Well since my last M3 I havent pick one up for my self but me and my brother are starting to work on his car. I always enjoyed looking at the progression of other people cars so i decided to start one of these threads. We have had the car for 3 months now. It had some minor damage to the front end so we got a good deal on it.

Well anyways, the car info is 2004 Imola/Black 35k miles. 6-speed manual. Fully stock.

Thanks to Robert for the bumper.




First day at home. Thanks to Wes at Titan Motor Sports for the zcp wheels.







Next,
i few things order and put on.

GC coilovers from Jon, thanks.
Depo Smoked Corners









For now the last things are Black Kidney Grills, 12mm Spacers in the rear. Aggressive. Gonna order 15mm spacers for the front. Oem short shifter is waiting to be installed. Also Thanks Karl for the Clutch stop.

Its raining so i cant take pictures outside.











Future-
CSL Bootlid and Diffuser
Possible AA Supercharger
Black wheels and gills
Black roof
AA Exhaust
Angel Eyes

looks so good
these pictures probably capture the true color of imola red the most out of all ive seen.
are you as low as you can go on the GC coilovers? do you have camber plates in the front?

thanks
