Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    hi guys

    my mate archangel recommended i join this forum

    i just picked up a new R32 in United Grey - 4 door with sunroof, DSG, xenons, and im told a nav retrofit in a couple months

    definitely into car mod'ing, been building cars since i turned 18, but will most likely leave the R32 standard

    the R32 is sitting alongside an '06 E46 M3 convertible - this is an Individual build - that is the exterior, interior and timber colours arent standard brochure colours, but special orders. Most of the mods on the M3 have been around improving the ride, opting for Bilstein PSS9 coilovers and H&R sways. And improving audio, TV in motion, DVD player, etc. Ive been wanting to change the wheels for ages now, but havent really found a wheel for the E46 that really blows me away. I do finally have a look in mind, and will give it a go once the warmer weather hits

    no pics of the R32 yet, i want to do a photoshoot with both cars but havent caught a break in the crappy wet melbourne weekends

    some pics of the M3 after a detail - im somewhat of a detailing hobbiest - and am hoping i can share my detailing products with you guys - just need to contact the admin for advertising info









    some small details - smoked lenses, de-blinged grille slats, angel eyes, illuminated door sills, Royal F1 alu shift paddles







    which leads to my first question and ultimately first mod for the R32.....what options are there for changing out the oem plastic shift paddles?

      First of all, welcome to the forums.

      More importantly of all, WOW, what a screamer of a beemer!
      that's a beautiful car mate, props for a GOOD looking M3 and not a fulisik one bro.

      I can't answer your question, but lots of people can And I'm sure if you head on over to the MkV section you can ask and receive wonderful answers there.

      Happy modding mate!

          ahhhhh you're getting warm with the Time Attack look

          and as for Volks....i absolutely love em, in fact all high end jap aftermarket parts

          ^ the CE28Ns are the best suited wheel for the E46

          my previous ride..........SF Challenges special ordered in Top Secret gold, had to wait 3 months

              Awesome rides. The E46 is one of my dream rides and your's looks exceptional. You got some great shots of it. I will own one, one day...

              It's good to see someone with taste and an appreciation for such fine cars. It nearly brings me to tears seeing something like an M3, 911, RS4 etc dirty and uncared for.

              Can I ask what you do for a living?

                Hi Domino.

                Welcome aboard.
                That M3 looks familiar. Did you used to hang out on ECCA from time to time?
