Here are more recent updates on the E34. Yes, it’s still unpainted. I took the effort to lay on a coat of flat black on the bonnet. Not the best effort, but good enough for a temporary look Loving the wide grille now since it adds to the wide and low front.

Can’t wait to get it all black and glossy again

As with many Euro freaks, i am, too a big fan of Studie AG. It’s just that special touch the Japanese have when fiddling with cars. Especially their controversial approach towards the aesthetic part of it. I came across Garage36 from a lead that an old friend, Frank, provided. Louis, who runs Garage36 very recently made a trip to Japan, to visit the Tokyo Auto Salon.

I never got the chance to visit Studie during my last two trips to Tokyo. The Next time, i wil. But Thanks to Louis’s coverage, i now have an updated view of Studie AG. Very refreshing as compared to the older Studie Magazines i have owned. Read the rest of this entry →

Just a wild photochop work. The MINI is almost half way there with the Signal Green paintjob. It now needs more GT3 RS-esque features.  Though Duell AG already have ready-made versions that resembles the look, unfortunately it’s for the R56 versions. The earlier R53 versions don’t posses the same look.

It’s still a photoshop work. So no promises. But it is the look that i desire most for the MINI.

Haven’t been posting much and even less on the MINI. Here’s a recent picture of the engine. Just gotta love the green eyes

Here are some updates on the MINI. The pre-facelift xenon headlights have made way for the newer projector versions. As expected, the MINI now looks 5 years younger. The projectors also provide significantly better , farther, beams plus the cut-off that only projectors can provide.

As you can clearly see, the E34 is going through an ugly phase. For the better. Which is a pretty shocking fact, since the 10 years i have had the car, it had always been the narrow grill. So about time a new look. Plus the wide grille ages the car pretty well, celebrating its 10th years of service. Plus the recent heart transplant and interior renovation deserves a more mature body.

What’s to be done: The AC Schnitzer badge will go, and the car will be sent for paint soon. Also, the bumpers needs to go. For many years the bumper had been damaged and repaired that it just isn’t practical repairing anymore. A single nudge will send cracks of previously damaged area. As for design, it’s either the same Schnitzer replicas or a custom job. Just not fixed on ideas yet.
