Journal of my car

[Katie_K]

This is the full story of my car from start to hummmm well where it is now anyway

This was my first car and my first bmw its where it all started for me


Needed something a little more me though
So treated myself to a 318ti Sport Compact in individual colour Fashion Red 2
wasnt really looking for another bmw if im honest let alone a compact (wanted a fto )
wouldnt swap it for any FTO now.

Cost me £2,900 all the way up in durham, It has 72,000 miles
As i bought her



First thing i did was swap my wheels from my old car


She also got some black grills, one of my chrome ones was cracked

[Katie_K]

Changed the front speakers


Moved my ipod and and headunit across from the loon,
ipod fits snug in the glovebox and runs through the headunit, no need to touch it


fitted some angels Gen7's


Fitted a lip and had to return to the retro wheels others were buggered


Later on I fitted these


After quite some time with these they are pretty pants

My car now sits very low and looks ace but im having great trouble over speedbumps, need to get something else soon

[Katie_K]

Next i got some new wheels
Spotted these on ebay in bad baddd need of refurb and they only cost me £80 including tyres,
The refurb only cost me just over 200 and this is the result





M3 Mirrors and black and white badges all round


Personalised plate (suppose to read like Miss KTK)

[Katie_K]

Just a photo whoring picture love it


These are my new seats soon to be refurbed in black and pink leather, just had to try them in the mean while


Well thats my car to where it is now, ill be sure to update this as soon as I do something new and exciting with it

Hope you all like it

I know people who would kill for cloth vaders since they're kinda rare on this end of town. You should trade someone with a set of regular vaders instead of removing that pair from circulation.

No kidding, please don't re-cover those seats, they are worth a fortune over here with the m-cloth.

[Mallard]

i agree katie, they are fugly but worth 10000 more than if you get them covered in pinl leather

cut a good deal with one of the boys stateside, then get on to FAB / fritz bitz / beemer redeemer for some replacement items,

you couldnt go wrong if you ask me girl

[Katie_K]

I didnt get the leather because it would have cost me 10x more than the bargin I got on the cloth

Would also be a nightmare to post these seats anywhere

And im also dropping them off tomoro im afriad, need them done for a show on the 14th

[Mallard]

fair play

Perhaps if you could have the shop save the current cloth when they re-cover the seats, and then you could sell the cloth to someone who has the same seats?

Sure, it would be more work for the shop, but you'd still make some money from the sale.

your car is beautiful!
right on
