New member saying hi

bigfra · 12-18-2013, 04:14 PM

Hi lads,

Got a new F10M5 coming end of February. Need to sell the 991 due to my second child being born and needing something bigger. Obviously going to miss the porker but quite excited about the new car coming.

Spec :
Comp pack
Black 343 rims
Monte Carlo blue
Harmon kardon
Rear folding seats
M multi function seats
Sun protection glass
Climate control windscreen
Massage seats
Black leather

Already ordered macht schnell 12mm front and 10mm rear spacers, black front and side grills, challenge rear diffuser, carbon rear spoiler and the h&r springs. (Worried if these will be ok with the comp pack shocks)

Anyway , I'll update when I get my car and try and resist not to buy anymore upgrades in the meantime.

dhirm5 · 12-18-2013, 07:15 PM

Welcome - and congrats - nice build. I'd have gone 12mm rear btw - I'm 12.5mm all around. *Zero* rubbing.

bobafettt · 12-18-2013, 07:39 PM

Congrats!

GOLFFRR · 12-18-2013, 09:24 PM

Unsure on the tint level but in the uk we are only "legally" allowed the rear windows tinted at the back and the sides.

shahano · 12-19-2013, 01:21 AM

Congrats, and welcome to the family

MCM5 · 12-19-2013, 02:03 AM

Congrats !!!

With comp pack suspension, the car already sits lower. Don't you want to wait a little before dropping it further with H&R ?

Welcome and Congrats, ADD surround view you will need it and use it a lot I do.
Pictures when it arrives.

PS) you don't need to lower a Comp pack M5

bigfra · 12-19-2013, 05:28 AM

Thanks lads

I do need to lower a comp pack M5, 10mm is nothing

Then watch for those "Speed humps" they will wreck your car if taken anything above 5 MPH.

bigfra · 12-19-2013, 05:37 AM

Im used to low cars to be honest so it shouldnt be an issue

. To be honest im checking with H&R to see if they have calibrated there springs for the comp pack shocks and if they are not suitable they will not go on. Ive told Roy at CA to hold off sending them until I know.

Drive it first.

DrewM5 · 12-19-2013, 07:22 AM

My condolences - for your checking account! The wait is a killer and you will, of course, need to contiinuously purchase mods, etc. during that period in order to help stay off the pain.

We really need a smilie throwing out cash - like the talent show scene in Bad Grampa.

Watch till the end (it is short): http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=57i-YdnQEUI

positiveions · 12-19-2013, 07:51 AM

Congrats and welcome aboard.

Congrats, also, on the new member of the family.
