I also plan on blacking out the kidney grilles and buying a front lip pretty soon. You can't really tell from the pics, but I made a custom black honeycomb aluminum mesh lower grille. It looks better than the plastic M3 mesh. Quote: Originally Posted by Tyler Looks very good,rims look great on the ti.

Small spots below each taillight and on the bottom of both rear fenders. The paint already started to chip there, so I'm not too concerned about messing it up a little more. We'll sort everything out when I get it painted. Thinking about a Charcoal Metallic or Alaska Blue finish. | | | | | 02-21-2007, 04:29 AM | #6 | | Z3 Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Usa Posts: 660 |

After spending about a month refinishing the wheels, (sandblasting, polishing and painting) I finally mounted and balanced the tires last night. This morning I mounted the wheels on the "Tizz Eye" and cleaned her up a bit. The rears rub a little, so tomorrow I'm going to roll the fenders. I took a few pics, though they're not that great. Anyway, let me know what you guys think: | they look great mate  suit the car really well.... __________________ .............................

Looks good on the ti! Clear tails and tip on tail pipe will make the rear end even better. Any front closeup pics of the mesh grill? | | | | | 02-21-2007, 11:43 AM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Land of the Vikings Posts: 2,700 |
