Plans sound interesting.
What coilovers you planning on getting?
What shade is the purple wrap?

My opinions
Roof spoiler - no
335 exhaust - yes for looks
Msport interior - yes

Recommended
LCI tail lights
Full lci front conversion (bonnet, lights and bumper)

nice colour on the wheels, needs lowered(but you have plans for that) and it needs some BMW centre caps!

please don't fit 225's on the rear, fit a proper sized tyre, there is PLENTY of room for a 255/265 section tyre in there.

when you say purple wrap, are you wrapping the whole car purple? cause i think the black suits the purple wheels :P purple over purple might be a bit too much!

I would skip the roof spoiler and look at getting a boot lid spoiler instead.

[adamsd11@hotmail.com]

The cars currently got a small boot lip spoiler, and I agree purple wrap would be too much. It is for my interior. All the silver trim I aim to make purple as there are some small scratches ATM, it's same colour as the wheels with a glitter effect so should hopefully look decent. I want bigger tyres and I'm not really bothered about stretch but my mv3 tyres will fit straight on so I will use this as a quick fix and may go bigger depending on how it looks.

Planning on fk or jom coilovers as I have had good reviews on both and heard that they are good value for money.

I have looked into the lci conversion before however it will cost about £7/800 with paint as you need bonnet, lights, bumpers, all grilles, bootlid + lights. I may look into it a bit further down the line.

Nice project but mudflaps out please.

[Digitalize]

Need some spacers for the wheel.

Stick to stretched tyres, will look awful with wider tyres on, 225 should be fine on a 9.5

Not sure on purple wheels and purple wrap, would have gone Anthra myself.

Needs an M Sport kit too.

Very nice! Was wonder who bought Christian's wheels! You not fancy them in the Candy Red they've been for the past year? as above, spacers & lows , you should be able to keep the current tyre set up, a 225/40 baloon will ruin the look imo.

[adamsd11@hotmail.com]

A local lad had some reps in candy red and I didn't want to be seen to be following. So I went and had Christians and got them in purple, I went on tyre stretcher and they will still have stretch on 40s and the weeks will look a lot bigger which is what I need. They look too small ATM in my opinion.

As for the purple wrap, it's not going on the outside of the car. I'm putting it on my interior trim as mine has some scratches ATM and black wrap would make the inside look too dark.

Mudflats will also be coming off shortly, and hopefully msport rear 335 bumper for the twin exit exhaust :-)

[Jamie_E92]

I had them wheels on my old e46 & I advised Christian to get them lol. Trust me When I bought them they just don't look right on 225/40s but you seem to know best

[AdamC]

Look forward to seeing this progress.
We should do a photoshoot together, I've got a similar plate to you.

[adamsd11@hotmail.com]

Im going to put the coilovers on the car first and then see how it looks but i think the wheels look small with them tyres. I would deffo be up for a shoot when the cars a bit more ready, march time. Before then ive got a lot to do!

UPDATE: Wrap arrived today so ill get a photo of that up later on or even tomorrow, when its going on. Its sparkly purple so should look good (I aim). Happy with it so far.

+100...i agree mate

[adamsd11@hotmail.com]

No I'm not driving on the 3sdm wheels ATM. I'm using the black mv3's until I get the coilovers and move the tyres around. Not in a rush, want the bad weather to go first.

[CapnCook]

I wonder if your insurance would be void in the event of a crash if you were driving on those stretched tyres?

[danzo_m]

Seeing threads like this makes me want the winter to go so I can fit my BMW 269 19" staggered wheels. Go for 265 width tyres on rear it will look much better not to mention grip will be enhanced and you don't want to scuff them rims lol

I not sure if I should fit coilovers or springs to mine just to drop it a tad

[Digitalize]

The bead is touching the rim it's fine. But you do need to run them a few PSI higher.

Once on coilovers and spaced out you'll want the stretch, depending on what fitment you want. You get some nice rim poke with those.

I am not sure if other people are serious about purple wheels on a black car....
But I am sure that its not a Clio forum. Sorry not my cup of tea but each to their own!

OP, one thing is definite. Your MV3s are replicas as rears are 8J and not 8.5J. Look at the space b.w the wheels and the arches.

I'd agree with the first comment,but ask that you think again on the MV3's and the rears only being available as an 8J

For the rear exhaust why not get the tip chopped off and a twin exit welded on in its place

Cost me £70 all in

Twin 3"

[adamsd11@hotmail.com]

[Jase 320d]
