My F31 with a couple of new bits

dubdemand · 07-31-2016, 04:46 AM

Managed to fit my new eBay specials last weekend and gave it a good wash yesterday... really happy with it now but find myself considering the MP skirt decals now!

Can't go wrong with these for only £85 (like for like replacement - not stick on covers)

Another replica. Maybe not the most perfect fit but it's even and for £100 I'm more than satisfied!

Going out for a drive after lunch so will hopefully manage to get some better pictures later

Looks good!

Now you just need the skirt blades & front splitter!

dubdemand · 07-31-2016, 05:04 AM

Yeah I know and then the 20" wheels and then an M3 and a bigger house, slimmer wife, less children etc etc etc

no don't worry about those! Maybe some wheel spacers though

Very nice!

I also thought about spacers this morning - that top picture really does make them look tucked! Looking at it again in the flesh though and it looks pretty good IMO.

I had spacers on my A4 Avant but always suffered from slight wheel wobble and my 10mm FK front spacers where utter shite! I guess that has put me off doing it again really!

You know how it is by now, this forum and it's residents will suggest anything to spend your money for you!

dubdemand · 07-31-2016, 07:09 AM

I don't think any of us come on here with the thought of saving money!

Superb mate. I'm honest enough to say I don't think I'd ever go the hearse route until ....we, well...I'm not the one driving it...BUT if I did it would look like this. Fantastic combo, I like MG and coloured interiors a lot.

I thought that...until I got one. Mines MG with CR interior and I like the fact that it's not that noticeable (because of the sun protection glass) until you get up close or open the doors. Great car and practical too! Big up to the F31's 👍

Looks great

dubdemand · 07-31-2016, 01:10 PM

Thanks all, nothing exciting but one more picture from our trip to the toy shop this afternoon. Aparently it's not just me that has new toys!

fwabbly · 07-31-2016, 01:17 PM

Do you have links for the parts? Particularly the diffuser

Will be similar to this, and this is a UK seller: http://goo.gl/6Nso6A

I also bought mine off the same guy!

Thanks guys!

The diffuser came from Germany - I think a Teaston recommendation originally. It did want some trimming below the reflectors along the casting line but the fit is good now...

Mirrors were from one of the forum sponsors on Baby BMW. I can find details if anyone's desperate...
