Hi all,

Seeing as more threads are popping up I thought I'd follow and post picts of my e60 which I've had for a few months now.

It's a 530d m sport here she is:




and so far I've done the following:

• Replaced the halo bulbs to LED type
• Replaced the puddle lights to LED
• Removed the swirl flaps
• Fitted a vortex breather
• Got both thermostats changed.
• Fitted mudguards (I know not to everyones taste but they serve a purpose)
• Fitted spacers on the rear
• Fitted coilovers

Here's the car now(in need of a good clean!)



Things left to do:

• Fit front wheel spacers
• Get an audio upgrade
• Find a decent set 20" wheels (Anyone have any good suggestions? )
• Remap!!!!

Let me know what you guys think

Cheers

Dave

Remap it now for 300bhp

I'd love to but in two minds about the dpf removal. Not a fan of it chucking out more smoke than it needs to, but I understand its best to remove and remap together.

Very nice.I loke how the back wheels are sitting in the arches.

cheers mate,

the coilovers are great in terms of ride quality, my main aim was to keep the comfort levels whilst having the ability to adjust the ride.

It does handle alot better and once they've settled i'll tweak the drop alittle more

What type of bulbs did you use in the headlights ?

dave_s2_rst

iTrader: (2)

Hi mate,

The bulbs are the led type H8 for the angel eyes. The appear blue in the pictures but are actually white in colour. I may have a pict somewhere which shows this

love that, looks good. what wheels you going for? i have 20" spiders on mine

dave_s2_rst

iTrader: (2)

here's a better picture of the halo ring colour

dave_s2_rst

iTrader: (2)

Hi mate,

I'm looking at a set of 20" as well, but with a deep concave rear still on the hunt as of yet though!

Once I get a set i'll most probably lowered the rear alittle more as i've still got abit left on the coilovers

fiestaturbo1984

iTrader: (3)

A set of wheels that do suit these is the MK motorsport wheels. Not so much of a concave but a massive dish on the rears

dave_s2_rst

iTrader: (2)

A chap around here has them on his, they do look good but there's something I don't like about them

Love the deep rear dish of them though

had a few peeps interested rob,but the missus loves it so we are holding onto it for now

If you are looking 20" wheels, try a set of the updated 20" X5 snowflakes (klook more like a massive Focus ST wheel opposed to the normal X5 snowflakes) or even a set of 20" X6 wheels would look cool on it!!

Nice car mate!

focus 4x4

They look great mate , I badly need to upgrade my standard yellow headlight lol

dave_s2_rst

iTrader: (2)

I thought I'd wack a quick picture up of how it looks now,

I've had the wheels on about 2 months now and the cars sitting a touch lower. it's been around 6months since I purchased it but thinking of selling :S

Love these. Have you still got the 19" spiders?

dave_s2_rst

iTrader: (2)

Hi mate,

Yes I still have the spiders, unsure whether to sell or keep

Kam B

how much would you sell for if you did

ram

iTrader: (4)

that look stunning.

your the same as me, never forget your roots.. i rock an rs owners club seat cover on my merc!

dave_s2_rst

iTrader: (2)

Lol, indeed but I often get asked what the seat covers are about. Which usually ends up being a long old conversation about my s2

Kam, i'll give you a shout once I work out what i'm after, feel free to drop a pm if you like with an offer?

47k miles, 57 reg, 530d m sport
service history etc.

furry

have you got a link to where you got your halo bulbs from.

i bought a set a few weeks ago for my LCi model and yes at night they look good but daylight they are poor

R5COS

Looks great with the spiders spaced out. How big are the spacers you fitted front and rear ?? really fill out the arches on them..

dave_s2_rst

iTrader: (2)

Hi mate,

In the picts with the spiders I was running 15mm rear spacers (the hubcentric type). I then purchased 5mm front spacers which made it look much better on the front, unfortunately I don't have any pictures with the fronts

dave_s2_rst

iTrader: (2)

Furry - I'll find out where I got them from but mine also look like yours during the day which isn't great. I didn't bother searching for anymore after these as I began losing interest lol

boost monster

Mine are the same.

I found these http://www.luxangeleyes.com/products they look good in the pictures but the price put me off.

furry

those say there for the LCI model but the image shows the Pre-LCI model bulb.

apart from cutting the lamps apart i don't think it's possible to make them brighter.

Kam B

Dave thats a good reg and very good miles so will prob be out of my budget after my a4 td i s line sells

dave_s2_rst

iTrader: (2)

No worries Kam, let us know how you get on!

Furry, mine are similar to the link posted above, but I didn't do any cutting, the module bit is velcro'd to the outside.

I'll try grab a day shot now

furry

these are the ones i have
