BMW 323ci project
|
Okay so thought I would start a project thread, even if only so I can track what I'm doing/ done.
Bought the car for £2k with mot til feb and 2 months tax Not many plans for it, just powder coated alloys and a new head unit  for now haha![[Image: 306ocsig_edited-1-1.jpg]](http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb416/declantg/306ocsig_edited-1-1.jpg) 306 HDI, soon to be XUD

Ginge you've turned grumpy recently!
I thought it was also about the community? & how we're all 'mates' as well? No-ones told you to do one with the 205? Uncalled for IMO..
+ living up to the title

What kind of journeys are you doing to get 34mpg? Your obc will most likely be heavily optimistic. Check it out brim to brim.
I'd strongly recommend checking the bushes out, especially front lollipops. Then, get the wheels off and scrub out the arches. Chances are they have already started to rust! E46 zones orite. ![[Image: brokendown-1-1-1.jpg]](http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s491/n0v0s/brokendown-1-1-1.jpg) Dturbo GT2259s build thread; http://306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-3692.html Daily driver; 330d Msport (doesn't blow up!)

Always fancied one of these, had chance of a 330i but too heavy on juice.
Looks well though apart from the front plate.

Powder coating the alloys? What colour?
Please don't say black! Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.

please paint the chrome trim around the windows black! I see the ones with chrome and for some reason, they look so much more dated!

it's a really nice car but PLEASE put the front number plate where it was originally
makes the front look really strange
14-06-2013, 01:38 AM
Cheers guys, number plate is being sorted as soon as I'm not working haha
What wax would you guys recommend? Want to really bring the colour out 306 HDI, soon to be XUD

Just ordered some poor boys black hole and some megs gold class wax
Fancy a detailing day soon Jake? 306 HDI, soon to be XUD

I think the number plate is there so it's more hidden when you're 14mm from the back bumper of the car in front in the outside lane...
All seriousness though, looks good

Darker wheels will make it an instant chav chariot IMO

After driving it for a bit it's usually about 27.9 mpg, which isn't THAT bad considering..
Also I'm still undecided on wheel colour :/ don't want to chav it up.. 306 HDI, soon to be XUD

Leave the wheels. Lose the boot spoiler, get the black mask projector style indicators to match the headlights.
My favourite bit about these is how the wing mirrors fold in, it's epic how they go up! I've got bmw diagnostics dec & can turn on so it beeps when you lock and unlock it, & if it doesn't already open and close the windows if you hold lock/unlock down, I can do that too

Worst thing about moonstone is that it looks no different polished unless you're looking hard. Meh.
My favourite wax has always been Natty's blue paste. Smells like bubblegum. Don't taste like it though, regretted that decision. Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.
