Before picking the car up i had made a wish list of modifications i would like to do:
  • Retrofit LCI Taillights - Done.
  • Exhaust Mod (4 Pipe).
  • Retrofit CIC iDrive.
  • Springs / KW HAS Kit / Coilovers.
  • Wheel Spacers.
  • GTS DCT Map.
  • Competition Wheels w/ Michelins. (To be decided)
  • Carbon Splitter. (To be decided)
  • Carbon Spoiler. (To be decided)
  • Gloss Black Kidney Grills. (To be decided)
  • Gloss Black M3 Badge. (To be decided)
  • Black Chrome Exhaust Tips. (To be decided)

As nice as the carbon and black would be, i'm really enjoying the look of the car in its original state. I'll rethink this at a later date. First up will be the exhaust mod as the car is stupidly, stupidly quiet for a V8. I'll also take the plate off the Passat and put it onto this until i buy another that i like.

Absolutely amazing! The LCi tail lights make such a difference.

Do you know how much the CIC retrofit is?

Looked lovely earlier, can’t beat a white M car imo.
AUC is a huge bonus plus you know if they were retailing it, you’ve bought a good one, all the best with it, look forward to the mods :cool:

Good to meet you earlier @Todd, the car looks super and in great condition and agree the OEM look is nice. Just a little drop and spacers 😉. Will have to get all the RMS e92s photographed together since there are so many now!

Looks very well Chris. The plans are perfect too, I think they definitely need the dark grills/carbon with some lows on a nice set of comp alloys.

Fantastic looking, the LCI lights are are a great job, I really need to get round to swapping mine out.

CIC and combox is a must 😎

Very very nice. HTD. A quiet fast car isn’t a bad thing, easier to make rapid progress under the radar

That looks class! Gonna be real boring and say I don't think I would change much at all. Exhaust, 20mm springs and spacers and I think it would be perfect! HTD

Looks great as is Christopher. Unbelievably clean and with the exhaust mod, it'll sound as good as it looks!

Id definitely go down the HAS kit from KW ... best of both worlds. Cant wait to see it with all the carbon added.
