    Custom Widebody Sedan - Grey Metallic Matte

    Hello folks, thought i'd post pictures to my newly transformed 330. Work done so far

    - Custom wide body
    - Custom Hood with the facelift kidney grills
    - Custom doors give highlights to wide body, and removal of door guards
    - Custom Kerscher M-Line 2 front bumper
    - Custom CSL trunk
    - Custom Roof Spoiler
    - Custom SRS Rear bumper
    - Custom Quad exhaust, and removal of resonators
    - Custom metallic matte finish

    I've already lowered it, and having huge trouble driving it; need to get hold of a good lowering kit so my fenders don't scrap. It still requires few tweaks until I find it complete. And here are few pictures :)

      Not my cup of tea, but it could be with a few touches:

      - Change the rims to high end ones; HRE, BBS, ASA, Volk, etc. All the work and effort you've put is let down by the rims IMHO. You don't need to spend big money on them, the options are limitless. But at the sizes of rims with widebodies, they're more expensive than common sizes. You've gone all the way, don't stop at the most important feature.

      - I think it'd be brought to life if you actually paint it and not just leave it matt black. Interlagos Blue or Phoenix Yellow would make it stand out.

      The car is rubbing for one or both reasons; soft suspension (soft soring rates/saggy shocks) and wrong rims offset. What are your rims and tires sizes? It'll go a long way helping you sort out the rubbing issues. Also, how much wider is the car at every corner compared to OEM fenders?

      What is the new exhaust setup? Or these are dummy tips on the passenger side? And although I'm a big fan of BMW side and bumper mouldings (I think one of the biggest mistakes in new BMW designs is not using them), I think your car did benefit from not using them. Gives it that shaved look...Props! ;)

      I love the CSL replica trunk, done rather nicely. There's another member here with a custom widebody E36 who just signed in a couple of days ago. Still awaiting his pics to be posted. Where have you done yours? My guess is both are creations of the same shop :)

      Welcome to the Club....

        Sorry, just saw that you've used a custom quad exhaust setup!

          Congratulations on your project... i've seen your car when it was still under construction on e46fanatics... very interesting that it came out to be such a lovely project.


          Few comments to fully complete the look IMHO. you just need some signature rims and delete the turn signals on the mirrors.. this will take care of the looks for good :)

          The srs bumper was my favorite rear bumper style; i always wanted it on my 330ci.
          The mate black is damn good!
          Welcome and keep on posting mate.

            Great looking car!
            You've spent your money, and i don't intend to let it go unnoticed - Just that i feel the matte black doesn't do justice to the beast you've tamed.

            And good rims - thats a must.

            But on the whole, Love your ride bro!
            Cheers

              Car looks real good, I must say. Even if it's not my style, but it's not riced out. At all !

              Great way of blending the car together, and I do second the rims issue. You need something to properly accent the car. Other than that, I can't wait to take photos of that thing, enjoy the Club and Welcome !

                that's a sweet project but there's always room for improvement.. it's not ricey at all & that's a very good start i'd say paint it something nice & bright, maybe when you get bored of the dull matt finish :)

                i agree to what everyone said about the rims, take a look at my iForged 19's (link in my sig) :thanks2:

                    i like the matt black finish too... any light color will look :ghey:

                    throw the iforged on the car and you will have a very unique outcome.

                      i didn't mean bright like orange or yellow.. would be nice in some unique blue (estoril for example :bow:)

                        I think it would look good in Imola Red with black or silver accents
