Re: Completed BMW 318ti Compact

Is that gunmetal for the cf on the hood? Looks great! Nice and clean build. Love these little BMW's. Keep up the awsome work!

Re: Completed BMW 318ti Compact

looks awesome. Gotta love the euro tuners..

Those ITR wheels look nice to. They look like 325i wheels.

Thank you guys!

I was going to post another progress before its completed, but no one replied to my last progress, so I didnt bother. Here are some not very clear shots of the interior though:




blubaja: The hood is not gun metal, I was airbrushing metallic grey through a mesh to mimic the carbon fiber weave effect. I swear my camera was screwing up the effect, the pattern looks way more uniform in person than the pics.

CamaroSSBoy: I didnt even know how the 325i wheels looked like. Most of the BMW's I see have the stock wheels that has many small spokes and looked almost like steelies. Would like to have a look at the ones you are talking about though.

Aside from the body, the kit is a little bit crude. Things such as bumpers and side skirts not lining up perfectly...side stripes won't fit into the "gutter"..etc. The biggest frustration was that I found out the front wheels were off center, if I build it box stock the front wheels would not allow the front bumper to be installed, that lead to some moderate modifications of the chassis and the lower arms, I had to make new chassis-body mounting spots after I modified the front bumper, stupid dog was chewing on the passenger side head light when I didn't realize I dropped it, causing a crack, a slight bend right in the center, and a bunch of cuts and chips, right at the day which I wouldve had the model completed. I was kind of tired after finishing it. Even if I want to build another one, It would be quite hard to find this model again.
However, I have some old parts for a 4 door 318i, which I will eventually build, and I might also buy a M3 too in the future, if I can find it.
