Inspired by the Manhart M135i, I replaced the black v-strut (behind the grills, in front of the radiator) with one I've painted Estoril Blue. Lighting is poor in the photo, but it's a good colour match and I love the way it looks.
Everyday summers I think - not sure I've got the balls to do tracks days without insurance, and not sure I've got the wallet to fund track day insurance!
Current plan is probably OEM winters, and Dare summers, with the Style 67 reps getting sold on. Ideally I'd sell the OEM ones and keep the 67's, but I think I might be shafting myself come re-sale.
Cheers - and yeah, I think that'll end up being my wheel strategy!
I quite fancied wrapping the roof in gloss black vinyl too - I bought enough, just didn't get the time to do a proper job of it. That'd probably be it for visual mods, although I could be tempted by a nice gloss black splitter that doesn't cost hundreds of pounds!
Inside I'm on the lookout for a set of these seats - never really got on with leather. There's a chap breaking an MSport on eBay at the moment, but he wants £750 for the seats which seems a bit steep.
Then performance wise, who knows. I suspect I'll pull the trigger on a JB4 and decat\sports cat at some point.
Cheers mate. Can't remember the offset but think they're 8J ET44 so they fill the arches nicely. Bit of a rubbish photo taken outside Budgens when they were pretty dirty, but yeah I'm chuffed with them.
They don't ruin the ride. Far from it. I was cacking myself if I'm honest, because I did ruin the ride on my S3 and really didn't want to do that again, but it's fine. I wouldn't hesitate in doing it again.

I'm sure you would find a member on here who would do a deal for an interior swap assuming you don't want to keep your leather to revert to standard later.

Cheers mate. Also surprised, there's so many of us around this area and the only other m135 I've bumped into is another EB auto who's not on this forum.

In the summer I quite like driving with the windows down - take best advantage of the Milltek - the wind deflectors definitely make the cabin less blustery, which is what I wanted.
Cheers mate. Very much enjoying the AD08s. They've been on the car since late December, so right through the worst of the wet conditions. Now I've not been driving my car at 120mph, WOT, DSC Off down the M3 but I've not struggled with the wet at all.
Sure it'll spin up the wheels if you're being a pillock, but no different to the PSS in my opinion. Biggest plus point still has to be the decreased road noise. And they look sexy .
