Thanks mate

No I don't, do have one laying around

 

[DISASTRA]

Aye ill bring it with me next sunday.

Heater ducts needed cut?
Or is the headunit mechless therefore shorter bodied and a straight fit?

 

[Jonny]

Dremeled lol. But a superb fit now. Really impressed with the Pioneer. Was always Alpine I used in years gone by but for the money it’s hard to look past it.
Two phones on Bluetooth and CarPlay for £300

 

[Jonny]

Funnily enough Swansea found my V5 and also a stamp. Wonders will never cease.

That’s better

Tell me more about the head unit... I now have an E46 that I would like Bluetooth in. Haven’t got round to properly researching yet either but had seen that the ventilation controls move down to the cubby and a double din can be fitted. I’m assuming from the above that heater pipe work needs cut out?

That’s exactly it @swansty to buy the proper hvac relocation panel is £140 from bmw. So use some foam to seal it in instead.

The bar controls the vents for floor so they’re now permanently open.

The Pioneer is brilliant I always preferred Alpine years ago but for the money it’s hard to look past it. £300 delivered from Amazon.

Cheers, must get a look at mine some time and see how to do it.

Thanks to @surprising_skoda picked up a set of genuine 330ci Clubsport alloys.

Dropped off this afternoon with Michael Polishing Alloys for tidying.

MV2’s will be winter wheels

Debating on whether to source a clubsport rear spoiler now. Given that I’m 80% there in terms of a replica.

 

[Steve750]

Nice choice but dont do the rear spoiler

 

[Woodcutter]

Winter wheels on a winter hacker, you've lost the plot Jonny!

 

[richie_mck]

Love the wheels but was never a fan of the spoiler.

 

[richiemucker]

Clubsports are a nice touch.

 

[Jonny]

You say that like I had a plot in the first place mate?

 

[Cooper]

Plot free daily ftw. You’ll be dailying the m3 next and keeping the 330 good for the weekend!

Lol!! not sure what else to be at with this now.
Have a notion for a stainless exhaust if I can find a 2nd hand one on egay or scumtree.

Away for 3 days. Having withdrawals from M3 out for a rip tonight it is then

 

[pablo]

do the spoiler. 120% do it

 

[Jonny]

May add to Trevor’s list lol

 

[Steve750]

Manual conversion if m5 boxes were half as obtainable as m3 ones id have the 540 converted ages ago!

 

[Jonny]

Lol you forget the entire purpose of this car is to waft to dublin and sit in dublin traffic. Which it’s doing admirably

 

[JamieG95]

I like the clubsport look, I think the spoiler on would look well! Just replace the backbox with pipe and a set of tips, far handier, cheaper and sounds epic.

 

[G N K]

do the spoiler. 120% do it

Clubsport spoiler is awful, even on a clubsport
