BERYLLIUM BMW 323ci.

Nice stuff

[robola 46]

Here you see how I orientated the JL Logo on the upperside of the cover.

As you can read, I made the logo's in double pairs, now you can see why.

One pair I used to the make the edge.

Because I was going to cover up the cover with alcantara, I first taped the plexi with a layer of this material. If you don't, you can't fit the letters back in, cause you have the thickness of your material.

You can also see I tightened everything with 2 screws.

Then I made an oblique edge with filler. This is in total 5mm high, the same height as the plexi.

To remove it all, and to ensure nothing breaks off, I tapped a little screwhole into the plexiglass.

So I could screw the plexi in and out, with a secure feeling.

Here you can see it worked!

Here you can see how much space I've got on the side from the plexi, and the alcantara.

Dont underestimate the time and work time goes into this, its pretty darn job.

Here I covered everything with black alcantara. First I wanted this in black leather, but I didnt find I quite matching the floor.

Here you can see the tube where the cables run through. I sprayed it silver, to match the rest of the moldings in the car.

I sprayed the plexi logo silver, on the bottomside that is.

Here you can see how it all looks mounted in the car.

I added a white neon under the middle logo. This only lights up when I open the doors.

A nice carbon fibre plate who reflects everything, standing onto the front seat.

Again its done like I wanted it to be done. Im just a bit disappointed in myself I didnt do it much sooner.

Finally I can start enjoying my material !

How it sounds…thats for later.

Hey Robola, spent all night last night reading this thread and all i can say is that you did a fine job on this install.

i can't wait for you to post new updates, I look forward to seeing your creation finished, its an absolute beaut!

If i may ask though why did you choose not to continue the front bumper spliters further out wards past the edge of the bumper,

I only ask as to me it seams unfinished, don't get me wrong its not ugly i was just wondering...

Also i'd like to extend belated condolences for the passing of your mother.

Any way God speed with the rest of the build...

Hoi Robola, ik vond je werk in deze Forum super fijn, je bent goed bezig jonge, ik heb de helle nacht door

gelezen toen ik klaar was, was het al licht buiten.

Ik wou je vragen waarom je gekozen had om je splitters niet verder buiten de zij kant van je bumper te

bouwen, neem me niet kwalijk hoor, ik vind het niet slecht, ik wonder net.

Ik will je ook sterkte wensen over je moeder, ik voel me heel erg slecht voor je,... Veel sterkte

In elk geval sukses met je project, ik kan echt niet wachten voor meer updates

The best build I have ever seen. Where did you learn all your skills?

[robola 46]

I still owe you guys some pictures of the outside.

As you can see, I give the roof a black spray.

I give it a lot of thought, but finally did it anyways. When it was silver, you didn’t see any dust , but know…you see every little dust-particle on the black.

But for me, it looks 100 times better, so it’s worth me efforts in cleaning the roof 10 times a week .

I’ll takes some pictures soon of the inside lighting.

According to the project in general…my hands are getting pretty itchy to get back into it, o yeah!

Amazing as usual. I just wish I could see this thing in person.

[Afrodeezyak]

this car is absolutely gorgeous, I love the styling of the car itself in its original form but then you come along with all of these amazing ideas and make it 100x better.

Your work is top notch and im loving that amp cover. so clean

Whats bad is I was in Bruges and Brussels Belgium for three days last November. Didn't even cross my mind to try and see this car. This car is perfect.

I thought about changing the model of the splitters, but I still ended up with this model.

Sometimes it’s not good to exaggerate.

That a person I look up to, and find ideas from, lol

When I purchased the car, I also thought this car didn’t need much to refine her looks.

A little detail here and there, but in the meanwhile I’m already working on those details for over 3 years.

And I still got some refining to do, so this project won’t end soon, but I recon that’s a good thing.

Nothing if perfect dude. When you were in Brussels, it’s only 80km from where I live.

If you drove an hour, you could have been on my doorstep…
