So....its been a while since ive posted on my build thread and long story short the little b7 is staying with me she is making it through the utter ***** weather this year and as a treat to her I've ordered a carbon fibre boot spoiler, rear diffuser and maxton design side skirt extensions.

Ill be blending the diffuser into the rear bumper panel to give it an oem look and not stand out to much especially as that part is gloss black on my car anyway.

When the weather gets a bit better ill be giving her a full body mop and wax ready for the summer.

You know it makes sense Ricky, show the old car some TLC and you will reap the benefits.

Carbon fibre spoiler arrived today not fitted yet just placed on for a test fitment and it fits perfect
I wasn't going for a carbon fibre theme on this car but the spoiler was just to cheap to say no to and with the gloss black rear diffuser and side skirt extensions should all tie in nicely.

Looks like a nice subtle nod to the Dtm b7s, i like it! Im not a fan of the all gloos black or carbon theme but each to his own, im looking forward to seeing your rear diffuser fitted too

Thanks alex and its funny you say that i was on the dtm thread this morning and didn’t realise that the spoiler is identical from what i can tell, and the diffuser once I'm finished with it will look similar albeit a couple more fins so by time its all done it will look like a slight nod to the dtm which was by accident lol i promise lol

A mod is a mod, lol!

I would love a dtm front bumper, but its availability thats the issue, unless there still available from tps.

You wouldn't like the new price Alex, bonkers money by the time you had all the bits.
A few for sale on ebay.de though, I had one ages ago and sold it stupidy..that's life.

I think i'd have changed the colour of the boot / bumper cover to black so it all blended in , but personal choice again.
looking good Ricky.

I could get one a little cheaper, but thats a perk of the motortrade ofcourse

 

[Charlie Farley]

Yep , but add up all the bits inc the carbon splitter, vents etc ontop of the bumper and a new non s-line grill and its going to be a lot.

 

[Ricky Burrows]

Mrs was saying about the satin strip Rob saying it looked odd and I'm in two minds with the spoiler, badge, diffuser and exhaust all being black i thought it might stand out to much being black so I’m toying with the idea of colour coding it not 100% sure yet, at the minute it does match the trims around the window ect but it definitely wont be staying that way for long.

Yeah i do like the dtm bumpers Alex but like Rob said its big money and taking that into count i don't like it that much lol at a guess id be surprised if you get any change out of a grand with everything you need, on the flip side i like the s line bumper ill be tackling that soon on my car and making it a bit of a one off i think

 

[Charlie Farley]

If you look on ebay.de you'll see a DTM bumper with an RS4 grille etc , its been modified to fit but looks good.
He's had it for sale for ages , I was interested but he wouldn't ship it so went with a new item from the states.

 

[Charlie Farley]

here.

 

[Charlie Farley]

It comes with the harder to find options of PDC and headlamp wash on a DTM bumper, still not cheap for a modified used item.
Another classic case of seller thinking these are worth more than gold bars, I don't think so.

 

[Ricky Burrows]

Yeah to overpriced for me rather keep my perfectly fine s line bumper and cheap lip spoiler for that amount lol

 

[Ricky Burrows]

Quick update:

Should be fitting the boot spoiler and side skirt extensions tomorrow (fingers crossed) and ill be taking the car to the unit i did the full repaint in on Saturday and make this rear diffuser/fit it so ill post pics as i go would like to fit it all at once to get the full effect but should all be done by Saturday evening.

 

[Charlie Farley]

 

[Ricky Burrows]

Ive fitted the side skirt extensions, carbon spoiler and the rear diffuser today but it got to dark to really see any of it in a picture.

I've glued the diffuser on and currently being held in with screws until it drys fully then i can remove the screws and smooth it all in on Saturday, overall it looks great for something so cheap! It curves a bit to much really but aslong as you line it up good you can find a happy medium and it really don't look bad at all even with the way it looks now (think being black it hides the lines so its not so obvious that its just screwed on at the minute).

As for the maxton side skirt extensions the fitment was decent and add to the aggressive look the front splitter gives one small problem though! Ive got gloss back side skirts and gloss black rear diffuser but the plastic textured front lip, Damn it! So ill have to order a new front lip and paint it gloss black as my one has seen better days.

Anyway ill take some pics Saturday after its done and washed

 

[Charlie Farley]

will keep an eye out for some pics then Ricky.

 

[Ricky Burrows]

Half tempting with going all out and getting the wide bolt on arches....have some thinking to do will definitely need some power upgrades as well before i pull off that look i think lol

 

[Ricky Burrows]

The rear diffuser is in the oven baking after being painted gloss black along with some parts for the mrs zafira vxr project thing i got going on lol.

heres how it looked on the oem panel after i glued it in place ready for blending.

All bonded, filled and sanded.

Primed basically ready for paint.

And finally painted and once dry ready to go on the car.

Overall I'm happy with it

 

[Ricky Burrows]

All done with the carbon spoiler and side skirts fitted sorry about the dirty car i didnt have time to wash it, thats tomorrows job

Personally i love it and definitely makes the back end look more purposeful.....just need some power to go with the look now

 

[Charlie Farley]

looks real angry now.....

 

[Ricky Burrows]

i just need to space out the rear wheel now it looks a bit narrow.

 

[Charlie Farley]

what offset are they Ricky as they look very similar to oem et43 offset from the angle of pic.

Im sure there 35 there not as in as the standard wheels but they are in to much compared to the front, rough guess id say 5-8mm ish

 

[AvantAlexB7]

Looks mega that does, id be all over that if it wasn't for having the damn towbar

Thank you mate it’s definitely changed the back end, yeah shame about your towbar it would of been an easy thing for you to do being in the trade.

 

[Sidrick]

Great job, love it!

It would be yeah, how much was it? I might take a punt on one and give it a go, could do with one that has offset fins with out one in the centre, i could perhaps get away with it then...

£10! Lol @Stuart Bennett gave me the link to it as I originally seen it on his car after contemplating getting a universal one but i could only find them for 3-4 times that price.

If you blend it all in like i did I'm sure you can modify it to suit you or even cut the middle fin out completely and set it back or forward, alot more work but for a tenner you cant go wrong tbh, plus side us your not paying like £200 to have it done for you lol.

Thanks Stuart and thanks for the link you saved me about £30

 

[Ricky Burrows]

So I'm just going to pick up where i left it in the stage 2 thread as id like to keep everything I'm doing in here for my own personal log as well

Quick recap I've ordered the 034 high flow cat, ecs tuning induction kit and the airtec fmic in black with black piping and the red rtech logo just so people know there’s something happening under the bonnet and just to remind myself theres a flipping expensive intercooler hidden behind the bumper

The fmic says its 2-3 weeks delivery so looks like I've got a bit of waiting to do now.

Ill keep people updated when bits arrive.
