So for that ti meet we may or may not be having dakar_peril is going to ship his ti over so all us americans can see what a great color we missed out on, right? | | | | | 04-24-2006, 07:52 PM | #6 | | Member Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Barnstaple North Devon Posts: 92 |
dakar,
nice car, very tastefully done.
In your spec, you list hid's and icey sidelights, do you have projector headlights, or did you just fit the hids to the existing headlamps?
I want to get hids for mine and am not sure that the regular headlamps will give the right cut off to the beam pattern as the projectors would. I also have read that projectors put more light onto the road as well.
How have you found the hids?
has all the progress on the car been printed in the mag? i may need to check out some back issues.....
Also, any news on the uk meet for us peeps near(ish) bristol?
I now have a ti, so can come along now.

I have HIDS in my main lights... on mine I have had to install a small hud to stop people flashing me... which does the job... I got the HIDs from Ben @ http://www.chromeline-design.com/ good guy with loads of nice stuff to sell you As for a UK meet.... There was one in Cheddar that we could have gate crashed... (well I was there anyway) also there was an Action day at Castle Combe race circuit the weekend just gone... which there was another compact but not from this register... I am open to suggestions now... I have posted 2 events but not many takers... Maybe the summer will be a better time.. lots of shows etc... __________________ BMW 318ti Sport Compact Dakar Edition

i was going to come down to castle coombe last weekend but the need of servicing and suspention parts meant that i was not too keen on putting the car on track and its quite a drive from london to coombe to wander round a bit.
i'd like to hook up though and see some other ti's in the "flesh". maybe got some inspiration. __________________

I reckon there is more chance of a meet in the summer, isnt the main beemer one at donny sometime?

Ben's a really nice guys too... helped us out loads over the last year... I am also looking into changing my headlights for coupe ones... which should look rock when I have some spare cash... which will again stop the blinding effect without shrouds... As for stickers I have one spare I can send you... Drop me a line if you want it __________________ BMW 318ti Sport Compact Dakar Edition

will p.m you shortly about the sticker. have you tried the coupe lights? cos another guy on here says saloon ones are the ones and you can get the wiring harness adaptor from understeer.com(?). but i need to phone them first. with all things car, its money and time. same ol same ol. want to get some replacement speakers in and build me a sub box first. may need a new clutch too as this one feels heavy and bites real high.  thats this months / next months budget gone. hopefully get some time over the bank holiday to give it some meguiars lovin. Be in touch. | | | | |
