I hired a new Q5 and it didn't have adaptive cruise or lane assist.
Needless to say I was unimpressed...

Been a bit slack with updates recently...

2 mods for the list - Supersprint catback exhaust and smoked sequential mirror turn signals



The exhaust was an impulse purchase from another R36 owner who is trading in his vehicle and going back to stock.

I always maintained that I didn't want an aftermarket exhaust, but now that I do, it brings more smiles every time the right foot goes down :)

Well done.

The turn signals are awesome. It's funny how your aftermarket ones are more "fluid" than most stock from the big luxury brands.

Just reading the entire thread as a new R36 owner and it ceasts to amaze me what you have done to your car is simply incredible! We'll done mate.

Wow........


Dude this is all sorts of awesome, thank you for taking the time to write this tread. Ive just bought a r36 so much inspiration

Keep up the awesome work

Cheers

And seeing as I was getting parts out of a B7 anyway I thought I may as well get the new AC vents. They are also illuminated at night which is a little nicer.

Now just needs a good clean because of all my fingerprints all over the trim and then ONE last big upgrade and my car will be complete (until I get another crazy idea)...

I know I'm very late to this, but I'm assuming you'd have had to run power for the LED illumination at night, how did you do this?

I've got a local base Model B7 with no motor in it and a full interior available off a mate.

I'm also considering swapping the door cards as my drivers one is damaged quite badly but I fear that the rear door cards are different on a sedan as well?

I'm also on the hunt for that B7 shifter as I discussed when I was at yours but all of the cars I've seen have had poor condition shifters. It's literally the door card and the shifter that are broken, yet the shifters that I find are all in worse condition then mine..

Hey Matt,

When you purchase the vents make sure you request/take the harness for them too. You can easily tap into one of the controls next to the handbrake for the illumination signal.

I don’t believe sedan and wagon rear door trims are interchangeable from what I’ve read, they have different part numbers also.
Another thing to note is whether the donor car has a button operated or push style fuel cap door, if that latter you will need to swap over your fuel door/boot controls.
