Wow looks stunning.
Really like it, the white is nice as well, only seen black OZ's on 197s before, me likes!!!
 
I have erased all of the previous pictures by mistake...


A few new updates:

Ordered new wheels for the winter setup....so now I have white ones for the summer and matt black ones for the winter. :D

sold the OEM ones and bought these for the same amount. :biggrin:

Yesterday I had my inlets matched.

There is a picture comparing the two matched & polished inlets with the other 2 stock ones:

They make a great difference - I was 4 lengths of a car behind my friends BMW E60 535d before - rolling start 2nd gear 55km/h and 3rd gear 100km/h.

After the matching and polishing the inlets i was only 1-2 lengths of a car behind the BMW. We tried from 0-180km/h and I was right next to his doors.

Will have dyno tests on Wednesday (before & after).

Great mod! Really worth it!

Also, I had the car weighted with the full tank:

Predivno izgleda auto, koliko si ulozio u auspuh, filter, mapiranje i sta mislis koliko si dobio ks, i nm, ja imam takav plavi!!! Stvarno je napravljen sav po mom ukusu, cestitam
P. S. Gledam s moba pa mi nije ucitalo sve slike i filmice ali ove koje je su predobre a na kompu cu vidjeti ostatak, i lijepo sto si pokazao kako je hrvatska lijepa na slikama!!!
 
Monday, before the matched inlets (1°C):
188.29 bhp
209.22 Nm

Today, after the matched inlets (17°C):
191.29 bhp
212.00 Nm

The temperature difference has been taken into account.

Don't have the graphs with me, waiting for the email.

Car is running lean because of the extra air that I have now, but didn't want to remap it until I do the dyno testing. Probably will gain some more power when I add some more fuel.
 
haha, im very intrigued to know how he did it! :)

:D

I know, at first it I wanted to know but then...I stopped thinking about it and just relied on the fact that this man knows what's he doing. :D

But surely, I'll ask him the next time when he does the head and the rest. :D Hopefully by the end of the next year.

Any chance you could reload the picture's I can't view them :(! Say's it's either been removed or deleted.
 
It's been a long time...so it's a good time to update the garage (don't want to write about the 3 engine failures I had this year alone and +£4500 that I've spent so far):

Front speakers Pioneer TS-Q131C (got them REALLY CHEAP!):

Painted the front grills & the rear diffuser:

AFTER:

The difference is really noticable in person - the car looks much better and the diffuser/grills kept their original texture.


Detailed the car 2 weeks ago - 9h of work:

The car looks awesome! Really...I even managed to get rid of ~70% of swirl marks and I did it all by hand (without DA)!

It's so much easier to wash the car now, and to wipe it too...great result! I'm so sorry that there was no sun at the moment and I didn't have a better camera. :)

What do I think?....needs getting used to it, but they look much better in person. To be honest, I kinda like them (usually I don't like matt black wheels).

I had huge problems with removing the wheels - one wheel ring (front right) needed changing:
