Default what a difference a day makes!

as some of you may know i have a red m3 track car.
as it has now proved itself as being a fairly quick and very reliable tool i have decided to treat it to some cosmetics via a fellow trackdayer and good pal "gt3 mick" he was at the ford trackday in the yellow 911 gt3.

he does all the paintwork/decals for some of the british superbike teams as well as custom helmet designs etc-very very good at his job.

i originally wanted the usual "m stripe" across the car but he looked into it and decided on a much different design.......................

anyway,an idea of how it looked;




then a halfway pic;




and then the finished article;i love it!










then i tiried on my tsw hocks-i think they need to be white.....







hope you like the pics.

Would look a million times better with a standard M3 spolier IMO, and the original M3 wheels suit it, Love them

Colour scheme looks awesome mate

i was toying with getting another pair of 8.5" m3 wheels for the front as they are only 7.5 on front.

or getting 4x 8.5 rears of the bbs 328i sports wheels and painting the centres gold.
just see what comes up.........

its a track car chaps, its not looks your going for, The rear spolier is going to give far more down force than the standard one. Function over form chaps

Really not convinced that spoiler is going to do much other than cause drag and hence slow you down, but other than that I love it, looks awesome I reckon

im glad everyone likes it,im really pleased with it

as ive said before the spoiler was an alcohol fuelled ebay purchase one evening and when it came and was fitted i stood back and thought "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm not sure about that".
but i do think it doesnt look anywhere near as offensive as it did when the car was red and the decals on it do look good.

just got to make in the inside look as nice as the outside now!
