Just thought I’d show you all mine whilst I wait for my BBS CI-R Nurburgring Edition to arrive...

Could be my car,same colour,same wheels.....even have the same lip spoiler but not fitted it as I’m waiting for the roof to be wrapped.

Looks very nice.

Looks like HMS Weasel has a sister ship  :laugh:

I like the lip spoiler... where does that come from?

Is that standard suspension? Looks quite low, especially at the front.  :undecided:

That's pretty neat! I might have to get one of those.... trouble is then I've been to their website and seen the other bits too...

Maybe just the spoiler lip is subtle and the rest is a bit OTT but...

Yes, Maxton Designs lip spoiler, and also has Racing Line springs fitted.

Looks great and the first to post a photo in the gallery  :laugh:

And a great look with the springs

The more I see that colour, the more I like it.  Very nice!

Also, I need to get some rear shots of my car.  The back end is just straight-up car pr0n.  That parking satisfies my OCD, by the way.  Nice job!  :grin:

Not feeling the lip, though.

Those BBS are quite nice  :cool:

Expensive?

I see you've also got PS4S's on.... and winglets - did you have 19's to start with?

I bought them from the Netherlands https://www.baanvelgen.com/en/bbs-ci-r-nurburgring-edition-wheels
I went for 19’ 8j et44 and were significantly cheaper than buying in the UK; circa 2.5k

And yes the car came with Adelaide 19’ wheels.

Post by: fredgroves on 11 April 2021, 15:28

Are those much lighter than adelaides?

Title: Re: First Photo Post
Post by: PeteSoulDeep on 02 May 2021, 14:11

Sorry for the late reply, but yes massively lighter

Did you get stung on import duty, buying from Europe?
