Alpine White E39 BMW on Parallels - Gone!

[Lee A]

not bad looking that. I like the back end it looks good

 

[da.murf]

carbon mirrors ftw lad lovely

 

[eamon343]

Looks great but black rub strips would break up all the white a bit

 

[saxo_man]

Back looks great, as does the front. Something not quite working for me on the side though, might be too much white? But a fantastic turnaround from when you bought it!

 

[Coan]

Paint carbon effect mirrors? Get the mirrors wrapped in real carbon?Hmmm, how much would that be??

Im gonna jump on the band wagon here then, I dont like the wheels, so put a set of hub caps on them. Wise up!

Top job fella! Some transformation, love it all!

 

[CW E46]

thanks for the comments fella's! the car will be staying as is bar the 'still to come' list above, and the new wheels ofcoarse. thanks for the thoughts though, feel free to keep'm comin!

@ kaner, aye i remember seeing you behind me, random, the civic looked well mate! mine looked shiite with the standard wheels on, im sure you noticed from behind, glad to finally get some width on there. lol

 

[CW E46]

about the brake duct vents- you have to really be into BMW's (e39's in particular) to appreciate them, they're a USDM additional extra on the M5 over there.

i think they look the shiz niz personally, and i have very cool brakes!

lovely motor, must have cost you a fortune to change it fron standard. I have a e39 523 and done a lot of changes but not to that standard. Keep rub strips white and medium tints on rears.

 

[CW E46]

had the wheels changed!! still waiting for black/white centres for them. definitely prefer these to the gunmetal... big thanks to armo at street racer for the wheels! top lad.

Looks brilliant, I'd leave the centres OEM personally. Only thing I don't like is the rear lights, needs the proper OEM ones. Oh, and front flaps off.

 

[Eager]

get a nice twin exhaust out the back recess,,,one looks swallowed up. Love it tho

 

[sturgy]

the wheels look far better, now i wouldnt change a thing lol you have done a great job on it mate be proud

 

[CW E46]

rear lights are exactly the same as OEM facelift lights, the only reason i dont have the BMW ones is that the post 2000 lights don't work on pre 2000 cars. they're the next best thing, from the states. the only thing different is the lack of reflector along the bottom of them, damn yanks.

thanks sturgy, i am very proud indeed! cant ever see myself selling it to be honest! absolutely love it

 

[Graham2]

They look way more "crystal" than the OEM items imo

thanks mate, its good to have her done at last, was only supposed to be a 6 week project, ended up taking 4 months ffs! lol.

nothing better than having a car sitting exactly how you want it. well worth the effort!

built not bought ftw!!

 

[vibe_kid]

back wheels need spaced a bit but apart from that!!

 

[big_pete]

I'd take those standard centre caps

 

[saxo_man]

The wheels make a MASSIVE difference to that car. 10000 times better.

 

[collyirwin11]

car looks phenomenal dude. credit to ya

 

[stuarty7]

looks really well dude think i drove past you last night in bangor i was heading out as you were heading in

 

[Fox]

Thats a fine example + what a tranformation. Wheels suit it perfect. Good work CW.
