Grills and plate make all the difference.
Did you put the plate holder back on or just stick plate to bumper?

 

[Kernohan94]

Plate looks great James

Cheers pal, yeah just the plate straight onto the bumper with the plate holder removed as I think it gives it a cleaner look.

Seen Mark put up a video of this, sounds beautiful with the back box mod HTD

Thanks, sounds much better in person and a real top quality job done by Mark McBurney at DriftshedNI

@dempster__ what mod did you go for?

@dempster__ what mod did you go for?

4 pipe. My last one was 2.5 with the sound deadening removed but this one is 4 pipe with sound deadening back in so gives a real nice burble and sounds well at full chat!

@dempster__ I'm looking to get the 4pipe mod done and was hoping it's not too loud whilst to driving normally about....I can't get over how quiet these are standard lol

They are super quiet! Now to be fair the 4 pipe is pretty loud but that’s what I enjoy lol 2 or 2.5 seems to be the best bet with them if you are just after a bit more noise

 

[Gemma]

@dempster__ I'm thinking four as its a weekend car if even that lol

 

[dempster__]

@Gemma go for the 4 pipe! It can never be too loud lol

 

[Gemma]

@dempster__ I found a vid couple weeks ago on all of the different pipe mods with sound videos ....4 sound absolutely amazing lol other half was like....get that booked in now!! Lol

 

[dempster__]

@Gemma if you search marks page on Instagram (mark_mcb_110) there’s a short clip video of mine ticking over from cold to give you an idea!

 

[RoniN]

Best thing to do @Gemma is meet up with @dempster__ sometime to hear for yourself.

Cheers

So the first time the car has been out in 3 weeks just thought I would grab a photo at the same place where I took my last one. Both different but still think I prefer the grey!

 

[NickR]

They are both great looking cars but the grey definately has the edge

 

[DISASTRA]

Grey is working for me! HTD

Christmas this year good old Santa brought me a genuine high kick carbon spoiler for the M3 which I have to say is an absolutely perfect fit! I’ve had really good replica carbon parts before but you just cannot beat the genuine for fit and quality.





I couldn’t wait any longer so after all the turkey and Christmas dinners I finally made it out today to remove the original painted lip spoiler and fit the replacement carbon one. Decided to just go with double sided 3M VHB tape rather than bonding as I may take a notion at some point to remove it. Couple of pictures of the original lip spoiler aswell as the the new one fitted. Personally I think it smartens up the rear end as the original isn’t particularly prominent or aggressive looking.









Another modification I have on my list is lowering the car as I think it sits quite high compared to my previous alpine edition M3 which was 10mm lower from factory (not much but made the difference). So started out looking at the eibach springs although they sit quite low at the back compared to the front which ruled them out, H&R are quite expensive at in around £260 but sit very nice although from reviews can be a rather hard ride so I decided to spend a little extra a go for a set of KW V1 coilovers which a friend of mine had in his M3 for a short space of time therefore seemed too good to pass up! These probably won’t be fitted until the new year when the car has a fresh MOT.

 

[AlpineF30]

The spoiler is fantastic looking!

 

[dempster__]

So the big lady had her MOT today (passed with flying colours of course) and it turns out it’s only done 1400 miles since it’s last test with me doing 1000 of them since I have purchased the car! Also got a few compliments in the test centre of how immaculate the car was which made my day

Grabbed a sneaky ramp photo when it was in the air.

I'm afraid I am one of the guys saying it can never be too loud! lol

I don't find it too bad although it is quite loud but not anti- social. There can be a slight drone if you're on the motorway for a period of time but I don't drive my car everyday so it doesn't bother me too much. It really comes down to personal preference I guess!

If you're ever in the Ballymena area I can let you hear it for comparison if you want

 

[Gemma]

@dempster__ I was thinking along the same lines as well I maybe use it once every 2/3 weeks so 4 pipe wouldn't annoy me plus the fact when I do drive it I maybe drive it 12mile if even, car is wasted on me
