With less than satisfactory updates for the past few weeks, here are some better pictures. The recent nose and paint job did wonders in cleaning up the face as well as the body. The AC Schnitzer replica bodykit was never gloss painted until now. Ever since i put it on the last 7,8 years, it stayed flat black to disguise the waves in the finish. Something i can never tolerate.
There are still waviness here and there but i am just happy it’s looking better than ever. – Clean. Also, the 3000K front fog bulbs have been installed since its purchase in 2008 from Autobacs in Tokyo.
Other updates includes the 15mm rear wheel spacers to compliment the 19X9.5 Shnitzers. These things really changes the fact from just a set of good looking wheels to a menacing flushed arch stance.
That is it for now. I will also be sending the car in for a full detailing job. So stay tuned for more photos.
Nice !!! Finally you post bigger picture !!! rear spacer surely give the look !!
thanks man, i will post more photos of this shoot asap
this is more that i like it:-bd..nice pictures!! car looking better and neat, cant wait for the pictures from actual shot!
btw tom, are u the owner of zerotohundred n tom’s sticker?n r u base in sunway area?
hi tom,
im getting really jealous of your e34. it’s somehow just my taste in a car.
too bad i think im no where near that league.
nice job done!
surlron
prime, thanks, good to know that
yup to the first and nope to the second
i’m based in the kl area actually
surlon, thanks,
it took me 10 years.. so don’t feel so bad
noticed that u switch on ur lights, but why the angel eye ring didnt switches on?
where did u get the front n tail lights from?
n u decided not to put the acs badge is it?
hi prime,
yeah, i removed the angel eye sockets. never had them connected before. i dont really fancy the angel eyes
the lights are from eagle eyes. you can do a search on them. i think you can get these almost anywhere
i also have the intention to sell of my almost new headlights from a very recent warranty claim just 1 monnth ago. are you interested?
yeah, the badge has finally been removed. i can throw in the badge too with the lights
thanks
Tom
warranty claim?what happened to the headlight?so is the headlight still under warranty?soo many questions=D
maybe we can discuss more through email?
hi prime
well, there was a fault in the beam. so it was a manufacturing defect. as for warranty remaining.. i think there’s a few months left.
it’s my 2nd set actually. i had these taiwan lights about a few years ago and hacked them to fit HIDs. I wanted to make the car new again last year so i bought a new set. so technically this is the 3rd set this year
let me know if you’re interested, if you are, i will start to take my old lights apart for some hacking
As always, very nice! Can’t wait for the full photoshoot!!
Perhaps can do one with your E30 (u still have it rite?)… truely UDM porn in the making..
not quite sure bout these taiwan light, but it sure looks nice esp the rear lights..is it reliable? i mean does it lasted long like the ori lights?
how much would u let it go?
here is my email :

hi andrew, the E30 is still in hibernation at the workshop. i promised to start working on it this year.
perhaps we could all come out one day
prime: yeah, i love the rear lights too. especially at night. it had 1 problem before. all of a sudden after a year or so, a few LEDs were not functioning at all. i made a trip to the shop and they had a scrap set which they would sell me the parts for cheap. so i think i paid RM150 for the part. and for about 1 year now, no problem so far..
Hahah!! Sure Tom. Would love to meet up and finally see your E34 and E30 in da flesh. Set a date and I will try to turn up… But i don’t think my UDM is up to your standard la…
had problem with original hella rear lights before, that is why im not quite confident with this taiwan lights..but more interested with the badge act,=)
but juz asking, how much will u let it go?
hi andrew,
no worries, we’re not here to judge who is better, hope to meet you guys one day
maybe when my E30 is ready then
prime:
i see, everyone has problems with the lights of this generation, similar to the E30. it’s very tedious to get them adjusted perfect.
you really like the badge huh, why not this way, i will do more research on my headlight project and will let you know when i’m ready to replace the current ones?
Thanks!
orite, sounds good to me..gudluck on ur next project!
its time for new pictures Tom.
=]
hi tom,

Hi Tom very nice taste on the body work, where can i get thos AC-S replica kit?
hi ihiro, may i know where you’re from?
we can get them here in Malaysia pretty easily
Hi i need one too can you tell me how to get it . I am from Cyprus.
Thank you
What tyre rubber is on the front and back?
Im putting on ACS 19×8.5 and 9.5 aswell on my E34..
anastase, it’s on 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 Goodyear F1 Asymmetric,
which was supposed to look slightly stretched but the Goodyears have thick sidewalls.
if you go for tyres like Toyos or Falkens etc, it should look stretched.
Where did you buy this body kit from?
Dylan: It was sourced locally through the classifieds, you can try searching on bmwclubmalaysia.con or mudah.my
There are also replicas available in subang if you’re keen
