I only just purchased this a few weeks ago and have got many plans for this one. The car has all the standard 2-8 Sport goodies (including wood trim :D) + the individual options:
- Colour Exterior : Velvet Blue
- Upholstery : Velvet Blue piping and Montana light grey interior combo

I have big plans for this one just waiting for some cash flow. Wheel wise i have my eyes set on Gotti G1001's. Will be updating very soon...

[63ard]

[Praz]

[Burn535i]

Classy. Love the piping

[mo diesil]

whats the coils? and your offsets please?

[cabezzz]

Looking good, int is awesome, welcome

[dfreshx00]

I want your wheels. i like em better than my style 5s

[Bluefire]

That is one clean e36, the piping is the business.

[joga]

I had a 328i sport when I lived in the UK. Really nice cars.
You should keep the original wheels, but put on 20mm spacers (The offseet is ET41 or similar). Then put on slightly less meaty tires.

That would look excellent and was what I was planning for mine.

[scaredofstance]

get center caps asap.

[matt752]

Welcome to Stanceworks

That is a very clean example you have there. I love the interior.

Drop me a PM if you decide to see the wheels ;)

[HTOWN///M3]

I love the color very rare....Welcome and hope to see more of your car..

[MelloYello]

Lovely ride!

[Praz]

cheers for comments guys...i got the center caps but prefer it without them, also im using Rokkor Racing Coilovers (i still have 12 coils left up front and the ride is nice and firm). just saving up the moneys for the gottis. heres some pics from DC10.

since these pics i have tinted the headlights to match the indicators and also the fogs.

my ICE setup will be changing, due to weight (i'm veering more towards performance side of things). at the moment its consists of:

Pioneer DEH-P77MP
JBL 1004E
Front - Infinity Reference Comps
Rear - Hertz ET-20 Tweeters

Lanzar Amp 1200RMS 4ohms
AA Havoc 12"
Custom Horn box

plans are:

8" AA Assasin
JBL GTO-3501e
Custom Ported Box

New Front components (Havent decided yet)

More things to come are:

smoked rear lights
smoked side repeaters
despoilered bootlid

plus many many more things including wheels which i am still saving up for. all in due time.

Some pics from local show with smoked headlights...

[m44lee]

looking good so far mate! ;)
but do the smoked headlights not affect the light output?

[Richard318i]

Nice e36 , but need spacers at the front :)

[Praz]

light output is pefectly fine, i did not use lamin x ;). my car is soon going off the road, currently looking for a daily. looking at 1.4 mk3 golfs. getting the daily will allow me to do some serious modding, performance and exterior/interior wise ready in time for next summer. Gotti G1001's coming very soon.

[PRO-STAR]

so nice wish my car look half as nice......:)

[BrageGundersen]

If you're planning to use the M-tech bodykit, change the side mirrors, and the originale bumper grill.

If I had been you, i'd also changed the kidneys to some black ones. Maybe with a black frame and black chrome grill.

It has a lot of potencial, and I bet you make it look awesome!

That is an original bumper grill, its the lux model. :)

[Praz]

my car is an original 328i sport. it already has all the m-tech goodies;). sports come with the slats ( grill on bumper), only difference with m3s are mesh grill (bumper), sideskirts and side mirrors.

few random pics.

Need to get me some Gottis ASAP...

[kramerbuccs24]

^The perfect e36 color and wheels combination in my book, your car looks fantastic!!!! Just get rid of the smoke headlights/corners, I can see you have the OEM tails in the back :D

[trickydik_1]

.....

[Lencu]

Nice bandit:eyebrows

[EThirtySicks]

Take the lamin-x off the front lights and you have a winner! The RC041s look dope, it's just a shame they aren't any wider

[Mexican]

Get rid of the blacked out lights and indicators and get gottis on it.

I had 17" g1001s 8s n 9s on my old blue vento. Loved them.

[Matze]

What is the dimensions of the tyre on this photo:

[Praz]

Appreciate the opinions on the headlights. I do like them so will be staying for now. Just need to get smoked side repeaters and rear lights.

Car will be back on road soon. Couple of pics of how she stands.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/praz_03/My%20E36%20328i%20Sport%20Velvet%20Blue/IMG00046-20110112-1550.jpg

[RoddyE36Mtec]

Waiting waiting waiting for some wheels...

Haha, Yeah!

Thanks mate, Yeah ive got a set of Schnitzers on there way to me and Possibly a set f Oz Mito's!

[pug 306 derv]

i like the headlights they look mean, once all the lights are done it will look cool, what wheels have you ordered?

[fivefourzero]

color is amazing! if you're going to leave the lights smoked i would get some black kidneys to match, looks out of place imo

[Praz]

I was waiting on a set ov AC Schnitzer Type III Concave 17s from germany (ebay) but they didnt turn up and im out of some money.

So i went on panic mode (No wheels) and went and bought a cheap set of staggered Style 24's, 7.5's and 8.5s ET 41 all round. Wrapped em with 205 40's currently with 20mm spacers up front. Waiting on a set of 25mm for rear.

Excuse the ride height, tanks empty and still need to dial in the suspension.

Decided to switch it up abit with the lighting, Got rid of the tinting on the headlights but kept the smoked sidelights.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/praz_03/My%20E36%20328i%20Sport%20Velvet%20Blue/IMG00101-20110311-1803.jpg

experimented with a set of amber saloon indicators i had lying around....

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/praz_03/My%20E36%20328i%20Sport%20Velvet%20Blue/IMG00099-20110311-1736.jpg

Coupe amber indicators should arrive in post next few days...

[myreversewave]

Rear and front offsets?..how wide are those wheels and what are tyre specs?

[evilstar]

looks good but i think i liked it best with white wheels and white2tone door cards. imo

[Praz]

cheers guys.

@ Quasimodo

wheels are 7.5 and 8.5 wrapped in 205 40. Looking for bigger dishes all round but this will do for now.

Final offset et9 front and back

@evilstar

Wheels will be back later. The original door cards were sprayed black but didn't turn out as good as i hoped. this was bugging me so i got the new black ones.

Getting my license back beginning of Feb, Can't wait! :alright

[G535]

Changed the door cards from white lux pack to all black Lux pack.


Mhh..if i didnt know better id think you scored some white leather seats for cheap but didnt have the money for matching door cards...i like it better the way it was. Rest of the black interior looks good though!

Also what tires are you running? That profile looks monster-truckish..but those wheels suit the car great! Not sure about the center caps..maybe color match that "carbon"?

Cheap white seats don't come with colour coded piping. Also Lux pack is actually quite rare. i do agree that the white looked better but the guy who ordered my car failed choosing grey interior.

Tyres are far from monster truckish! Specs are written above. Wheels will get refurbished with bigger lips and some colour. Will get better photos done soon.

[b5Avant]

looks great . ive seen an alpina version of the e36 coupe. just 1 though.

[Arteeste]

This color is sooo much win ! one of my fav E36's on here

[SoCalStance]

Op you running any spacers?

[Praz]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/praz_03/My%20E36%20328i%20Sport%20Velvet%20Blue/Brent-20120320-00081.jpg

yes 20mm spacers front and back. Wheels have now been sold. Regret not taking any proper shots...Back on BBS RC 041s and 042s. Will be refurbing them and sorting out tyres + stance after my exams.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/praz_03/My%20E36%20328i%20Sport%20Velvet%20Blue/Brent-20120417-00105.jpg

[Praz]

So revision is boring and couldnt help but get some work done on the car. Ordered the paint for the centres and few other bits. Started stripping/polising the lips.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/praz_03/My%20E36%20328i%20Sport%20Velvet%20Blue/Harrow-20120423-00111.jpg

going to try various spacers i have laying around to see what i can do. Will be running 245 40 on the 8.5 and 215 40 on the 7.5 both ET41. Ive estimated 20mm on the front and 10mm on the rear. Any suggestions?

[Praz]

So how the cars stands right now.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/praz_03/temporary.jpg

will take some proper pics soon.

[Nmdbeamer]

Like your car man ! Put the Rial F1's back on your e36 looks best
