    Good to see your doing something with this! The 323 was a great choice for a spare parts car!

    The 318i is the perfect hairdressers car. Does this mean a career change for Hak? :whistling
    Looks like fun though anyway.

    funtimes!!

    got my rotors the other day, had a play today test fitting them on the car.

    front with test fit of 4 piston caliper(not final position, gotta make bracket) and spacer ring to keep it hubcentric. gotta drill a new locating bolt hole and stud holes. both pics are the wrong side rotors, just happened to be the 2 boxes i grabbed.

    [​IMG]

    rear test fit with spacer ring. only gotta drill new stud holes on this one. still deciding on a rear caliper, as these are vented rear rotors and the stockos were solid.

    god knows, scored em on ebay for $300 they were silver but i painted them black with vht wheel paint.

    these things are addictive i swear, ive spent so much on suspension and brake parts for this its crazy.

    Nice work on the rims! the suitnit to a tee!

    That lighting setup your doing is pretty sweety!! Should look a treat on the road!

    I'll have to throw up some pictures of mine after this weekend....

    Ended up buying over a grand and a half of bilstein suspension components and king springs to put in this weekend.

    Plus spraying the calipers and all that jazz...
