Build Thread # 100000347

Build thread from motoringunderground. I figured I post it over to see what you guys think as well. I started out with a 2008 MCS in AB/AB. I only got a few options in it just to save money(Sunroof, Cold Weather, and Comfort Acess)

Here is where I started


Yes me cheesing it for the camera




And here is where I'm at now


I got bored one night and my roommate had red spray paint sitting around so I made the M7 logo pop



So far I've added an M7 STB and RCB, Alta cold air intake, and a homemade rear seat delete. I used Plastidip to black out all the chrome but after trying my hand at vinyl wrapping the spokes on the steering wheel I'm going to peel the PlastiDip off and wrap them as well. But first the dash will be wrapped.

Future plans include lowering spring( I want coils but I drive the car everyday through any weather that is out there), painting my factory wheels which will become winter wheels, JCW aero kit, working on white stiching, and wheels when I finally decide which ones I want. There are a few more things I want to get done but for not thats about all money will allow.

I have been trying my hand at vinyl wrapping interior parts. I still have to get better but for just starting I'm pretty happy. Yes there are bubbles but I plan on re-wrapping all the parts I have done so far.








This didn't come out good at all so it has been taken off. I just think it deserved a picture.


This was my helper while I was stitching a do a few of the interior wraps.

Recently ordered items and H&R springs and interior LED lights. The lights will be in soon the springs I might wait till it's a bit nicer out. we have been having nothing but rain and snow here in the northeast.
