My new black R36 wagon

[MK5mitch]

Hi all, just thought id share my new R36 wagon I picked up. Absolutely mint condition with only 75,000km, one owner only and perfect service record :] Planning to upgrade the head unit to an apple car play unit, maybe some new rims once I need new tyres. If anyone else has any upgrade ideas be happy to hear them.

Post some more pics once I get time to take them

Welcome!

I wanted to keep mine relatively stock.
Left the RNS510 as it has everything that i need.

Check out my thread if you need some ideas [emoji1362]

Keen to see what you do with this clean example of quality engineering [emoji1360]

Nice find
Welcome to the club!
I've a few little things here and there on mine if you're stuck for ideas....check the link in my sig

Cheers, yeah very nice and looks great in white also. Yeah I will probably keep it relatively stock as well, already has sufficient power although an exhaust upgrade could be on the cards ;]

Check out the Eonon head units which slot right in. I've got my eye on one to replace the RCD-510

Cheers Screwdriverone, I'm pretty keen on the just released pioneer apple car play range which with an adaptor lets you retain all your steering wheel functions. Probably be the first upgrade for the car.

Is anyone else using ceramic brake pads? just in the two weeks of having the car I've noticed a lot of brake dust buildup which is annoying as I hate a dirty car

[kamold]

ATE ceramic pads are your friend. No more awful black brakes 2 days after you've cleaned them.

looking real clean! where are you thinking of getting the exhaust done?

[MK5mitch]

cheers, not sure yet mate and unsure on what type of system I would go with.

[MK5mitch]

Detailing the car today, got all the ugly dealer stickers off the windows and spent a while polishing the exhaust tips as they were black. I Used really fine grade steel wool and metal polish and for the most part they came up really well except for a little stubborn build up around the rim, any pointers to remove that?

Also has anyone tinted the windows in their wagon and how dark did you go?

[kamold]

Mine was done by the original owner.
No idea what it is but it's very dark and effective against the heat.
Plus you can't see in from outside.

Remember to take pics after you do so, would be interested to see how it looks on a black wagon. Excellent colour choice btw
