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.
Just not so long ago, I had the opportunity to meet Exotic Mods‘ latest pieces. Owner, Shedden had just finished both the Cayenne + TechArt and Scirocco + Caractere. It’s fresh from the paint oven. To think I was to receive the Scirocco from VW for a test drive and I had already managed to slightly molest a done up one. Claimed to be the first ever modified Scirocco in Malaysia.
I won’t bore anyone with the review of the Scirocco, but for those who loves the current VWs and Audis, this one’s for you. It’s as easy to operate as the DSG Golf V, just bigger. This one, almost completely revamped by Exotic Mods includes:
Just last Friday, the Malaysian chapter of Europrojektz, decided to do a small shoot. The Monsoon season didn’t stop us shooting in the drizzle. Fortunately, the pictures came out well and well worth the effort.
The shoot was done in a local shopping mall, Sunway Pyramid, top floor - car park. The parking lot was far from empty. It was peak Friday dinner hour but we managed anyway.
The above came from a 997 RUF RGT. - During the course of searching for good examples of custom leather interiors for my E34, I’ve collected some pictures of the most exotic samples money can buy.
It is pretty tough deciding what to inspire from, but 2 things remain. Reds and Diamonds. I hope you like the collection of nice custom interiors i’ve compiled here.
Please use these examples should you decide to venture into the world of custom interiors
Thanks to Abdullah Al-Ahdal | Ahdalphoto.com for taking the time to shoot the 2 cars. Typical monsoon season provided a different perspective and of course, spoilt the shooting session. So there are only 2 shots for now. Also, I’d like to debut the flat black headlight surrounds by Angeline on the MINI, Done by Herself.
Though the rain screwed the shoot, it still managed to produce the above. At least I have a shot of the E34 in the wet :). Another session will be arranged for a full feature. This will probably be the last few shots of the E34 in the current state. Aesthetic changes awaits.
Just a couple of weeks ago, a quick fix was done on one of the wheels. Since these Ultraleggeras were black, it’s going to be easy. The wheel weren’t even removed for the job. All that was needed was some sandpaper, black and clear spray cans, some paper tape and some quick drying cement epoxy, the affected wheel area was sanded down, pits and valleys filled with epoxy and sanded smooth.
DuelL AG has recently collaborated with MINIMAX to create their very own gauge faces. I think they are probably the best 2.0 looking dials available. Though MINIMAX’s current line of “old school american radio” faces aren’t too bad either. But it’s a shame these DuelL AG items doesn’t support the R53. Looks like more and more cooler parts are now made for the R56 and up.
