sitas3 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 personally I think it looks horrible. But then I'm old and boring so what do I know eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Would value opinions as will book it in Monday for a day next week. Also interested to hear other colours you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 If you got those, wouldn't you be obliged to also put a fake spoiler from Halfords on the roof, some neon somewhere (probably the washer jets, in fact) and maybe some graphics down the side? (That's a no from me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark88 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I don't get the black wheel thing at all. It looks cack IMO. You may as well be riding on 17"s because you can't see 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flnutt Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I like it, gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkzz Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 nope, i dont like them either, needs to be standard IMHO. sorry.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woppum Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Im not doing it to make the car pretty. The opposite really. I sort of think its a modern classic, there are so little on the road anyway but to make it look that bit more focused dosent hurt. A real racer! Im gonna book it in. I think it has the potential to look very sharp, besides I can always revert if I dont like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediknight83 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 what about not so black... like a shaddow colour or anthracite? i was thinking of doing the same to my s3. go for the same shaddow shade that they gave the rs6+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAYDR32 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 The track photo and the close up make me say yes, the other pics not so sure... I reckon it will look better in the flesh either way I am sure. Difficult one Wopps, I wouldnt know if I would have the balls to do it... Go for it!! lol Close up also looks nicer prob contrasting with the AP brakes, not so sure standard would have the same impact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Very dark but not quite black would be far better. I ticked yes btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Well im going to do it! I can always revert back to standard (as said) as its just a lick of paint at the end of the day and not that expensive. I think it could make the car look quite sharp - and giving the CSL a bit more individuality if done right is no bad thing. Never been one for cosmetic before - never changed the wheels or body kit of a car - but to me the CSL is different somehow. Besides im 90% certain I wont keep the new M3 longer that a week (already offered a good premium for mine today!) and am all up for making this car my dream to run for the next 3-5 years until I swap for the next gen CSL GT3/RS. Guy - Im going to have to get them to show me swatches to put up to the paint (if I can) as I find it quite hard to tell from just the pics I have posted. Spoke to Hudsons today though and they can fit me in upon command so ill do it this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

encee Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Wopps: No, no, no, no and NOOOO !!!!!! Please keep it standard mate. I know you`re talking about individuality, but how many CSL`s do you actually see around anyway ? Your choice mate, but if I saw it buzz past me on the road somewhere, I`d just think "shame he didn`t keep the CSL standard......." BTW, I voted "yes"........ Sorry mate, couldn`t resist; but in all seriousness, it`s a resounding "NO" from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitas3 Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 [ QUOTE ] Or maybe that?? [/ QUOTE ] yes that is far better IMHO. Certainly with some red AP's behind them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 I would get light tints, carbon grille and carbon mirrors, so you are silver and black/anthracite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxyboy Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 A definate NO!!!!! Keep it as is, those wheels as standard are some of the nicest around. I seen black wheels on a RB320 today and i wasnt convinced, and thats on a bloody rally rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 pimp it up you bad ass mo fo roughly translated, thats a 'yes' from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 A most definate yes, really suits the car and makes it individual, I think I would do the grille as well - which would give it a very aggressive look. Oh and then stick a supercharger on it......and then... Cant wait to see the pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
