Aparoon's BMW 123d
« on: December 01, 2010, 08:55:46 pm »
Posting on behalf of Aparoon because he's a computer 'tard...  :wink:

Some of you may remember the mod-a-thon that was Appers old ED30, well here's the replacement...

Its a 2008 BMW 123d with pretty much every factory option fitted and was purchased with the usual promise of it 'being perfect in every way and not going to be modded' which i knew to be a lie from the very start haha!


The day of pick-up










Then came the inevitable mods..

BMW Performance black grill kit
BMW Performance ali pedal set
BMW Performance carbon rear spoiler
BMW Performance silver side stripes

OEM wheels powder coated black
Roof resprayed in gloss black







And how it is right now with the roof done and winter tyres fitted

Cheers Ste  :happy2:

And yeah I almost went for the 135i, test drove one the day before buying this ! But I am happy with the 123d and wouldnt swap it, standard GTI performance with double the fuel economy and cheap insurance etc, suits me perfect at the minute! Although I will be getting it mapped soon - ish, 250bhp and 350lb torque apparently, should be nice.. Then some nice wheels at the start of summer and im done  :happy2:

The roofs BMW Schwarz black metallic (i think) getting it flat and polished this week to finish it off  :smiley:

Love the interior ... always had a thing for red leather  :ashamed:

Do they do a DSG / twin clutch on the 123d or 135i?

 :congrats:

I was thinking of those mods too, before I saw the pic. The only one I'm not a fan of is the spoiler.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

The spoiler was one thing I had to have, I just thought the rear was a bit bland, the pics dont do it justice the carbon looks great in the sun..

Im thinking about some spacers but i'm getting new wheels for summer so might just wait and get a more aggressive fitment :rolleye:

Aye the spoiler is nice, good contrast to the silver paint. Reminds me of the one of an A4 dtm.

Red Leather  :happy2:

Do they do a Front Splitter for the 123d?

Look good on the 335i  :smiley: No snow plough option yet  :signLOL:

They don't do a full splitter I don't think, there's 2 small sections you can get that go on the lower left and right, but I think they only fit the performance bumper?

I loved my Ed30 and thought it looked great, but I wanted one of these sine I first saw one on a billboard I just love the way they look, its better than my golf in every way just not as fast...

That's because it's my '30 in the background and it's pure win... ;) haha!
