135i project

[PaulKendall]

I am currently working on fitting 315s on the back of my 135i. I think most of you will recognize the wheels and fenders from the mrpink build. I am putting the 1m style rear bumper on and auto flexing the car at the end of the month! More updates to come, I plan on making a detailed diy of the fender cutting since I havnt been able to find a good step by step.

Are you going to leave the fenders unpainted as well? I have Ed's steering wheel so we both have some of his parts

 

[PaulKendall]

Have the panda1er shall live on! And no I'm going to leave it carbon they look so good! I originally wanted to paint them till I saw them in person! I'm going grabber blue so I think the carbon will be

Update on my build, I have cut the fenders and installed the over fenders. The car sits too low on the hr lowering springs. So I purchased coilovers to get the perfect height! I'll be doing a diy write up for the Fenders! My biggest thing is buy a rivet gun, trying to be ghetto caused me to strip out a few of them and prolong the install!

Fenders cut out

Used a cutoff wheel to trim the fenders up.

Tried 2 ideas to expand the rivnut this one used a drill and pliers with spider washer things to...

Second idea was to use 2 wrenches and to just bolt it down. This method works but is very easy...

Wheels on

These wheels look so good on this car, it's a tad too low so I have to raise it up.

Do you feel bad cutting away the fender?

 

[PaulKendall]

Nah, regretting not buying a rivet gun from the get go like my wife told me too!

 

[doublespaces]

How do you go back to stock tho

 

[PaulKendall]

Ha guess I have to keep it for ever now!

 

[Idahospool]

No goin back. Looks great!

 

[Danksies]

new wheels look great with the wider rear lol but i feel like you're going to start looking at the front and widebody that too

Thank you for the complement! And Yea I already want to do the 1m front end with some wider tires up front! Maybe next year!

Great work looks sweet

Finally got the 1er painted! I updated the original post with more pictures and info!

Oh nice! How much did that cost you if you don't mind me asking?

 

[PaulKendall]

The autoflex cost 1600, done by dapper dips in Evansville indiana. I did all the bodywork myself so that saved alot of money. I'm not a huge fan of the over fender look so I'm saving up for a 1m rear end.
