2005 Alpine White M3 PROJECT JOURNAL
Hey guys...I'm at work so I need to make this quick (for now)

I just bought a 2005 Alpine White/Cinnamon M3 6MT. It came in on the transport from Texas on Tuesday morning. It came with some nice mods (exterior and interior) but it is now time to make it my own.

I don't need to do a long write up..here are some pics from the car before it left Texas...followed my some teasers of what I'll be doing to it.

ENJOY....

Before pics...






Teasers...

The inners will get painted today or tomorrow to match the lips (see below)

My painter...


Matte Candy Black (the deepest black color available/possible)




Other pics and mods that will go on the car..
