I skimmed your thread but did not see any info on the roll bar. Is it a bolt in or custom?

Hmm, I was thinking about getting a kirk bar. Where is it welded? Is the bar pretty close to the B pillars and the headliner?

RCs look sweet, you still have the Fikse?

I'll have to get some pictures, but it's bolted and welded on the sides and the floor.

The sides of the side cushions going through to the wheel wells. It is very close to the headiner, and it was a pain to get mine out to recover it and put it back in. It is behind the B pillars, though, so I can recling just a tiny bit

So, that pretty much settles it. I'm going to have to steal the M3 mirrors from my donor car ...

Creative paint for sure!

On the previous pictures it almost looks like the front as a bunch of post-it notes. I think clear corners might work better though since it has all that color up front so with the amber corners, the amber corners just blend in. With the clear corners it should lengthen the look of the headlights so it doesn't look so blockish. Definitely like it though.

Damn! Convertible donor car mirrors won't fit the Ti ... http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=33003

BMW_Hatchback - Kudos on a well prepped and unique Ti. Love this build thread.

Absolutely! We're swapping the Getrag out for a ZF320 at Bimmer Werks. Old Getrag was an old dog holding us back. Made it into this NCC Autocross promo video:
