M235i Racing body kits on a daily road car

hoppy6698 · 04-22-2015, 10:46 PM

Like a few others here, love the blue seat belts. For those of us in the US, I found some at IND (http://ind-distribution.com/ind/bran...-seat-belt-set) and this site (http://gaphix.com/shop/) as an example. However, a set of these tend to run from $700-900, and I'm not sure if they include the back seat.

Another forum mentioned that you can send in the tensioners to some shops and have the new seat belt webbing installed for a fraction of the cost, but not sure I can do without the vehicle for the required 4-8 weeks for fabrication.

Either way, I want the blue seat belts now and that rear ///M light - where do we get that? :P

No point in doing any of this when you can just put the money towards a real upgrade with the M2.

Also i am pretty sure you can have your seat belts dyed what ever color you want just google search for your area.

Ant Emmet · 04-23-2015, 01:41 AM

My garage modify the cover very well, they cut the fender a little piece to build a new cover. this fender cost around euro 3000. I bought it on last year may or june.

Brake light - very simple, just remove the brake light, then paint/wrap/stick your graphic on top on it.

disc rotor - yes, need to modified caliper

Seat belt - only bought the belt, not the whole module, google "blue seat belts" you can find a lot of it, mine is bought from china Taobao, very cheap but the quality not bad.

Well done

Mr Kleen · 04-23-2015, 03:51 AM

Looks good, other than the transmission choice.

discoboy1 · 04-23-2015, 06:34 AM

With the amount of money put on that car, I would have waited on the M2... Still it looks good!

Acetech · 04-23-2015, 08:26 AM

Love it, totally fixed the 2 series for me

inFamousKicks · 04-23-2015, 08:27 AM

Love it, looks really clean

Where did you source the caliper brackets from to move existing caliper from 340mm rotor to 380mm rotor ?

ChrisMT79 · 04-23-2015, 09:02 AM

Wonder how it would look with it molded and a set of side skirts to compliment?

Tonifyd · 04-23-2015, 09:51 AM

saw this car in person parked behind the peninsula hotel.
looked great

jeff@autocouture · 04-23-2015, 10:13 AM

Love this kit, I loved it when BMW released it, gives the car a very close look to a modern day e30 which was boxy and looked amazing, congrats !

Glad to be able to see this beauty up close. Well done and see u at the next car meet!

nicholasdilallo · 04-25-2015, 10:28 AM

how much wider is this kit than the stock fenders? Front and rear

raysspl · 04-27-2015, 06:40 PM

This is a very clean M235i build! The widebody install is flawless.

eboosted · 04-30-2015, 01:17 AM

I'm thinking about changing the front fenders only. I always liked the front with those widening fenders.

Are these OEM replacement parts? Just paint and install?
