Does anyone have any experience on this? I am planning to do some cosmetic/performance update on my X1 sdrive18d M Sport. Though it's a long term plan as my budget is tight for the time being so it's kinda bucket list rather for my car
... So far my plans are:
- engine tuning with ram speed (they are ac schnitzer dealer in AU) rather than the plug-in ones
- install turbo downpipe kit from supersprint
- install hood vents like the one from AC Schnitzer
- front strut bar from eBay for a good price as they look authentic & quality
- carbon fibre wrap mirror caps & spoiler.
- gloss black plasti-dip the roof to match the glossiness of the moonroof.
- matt black pasti-dip the wheels
My main concern is with the hood vents. I love the look of them and if it helps on performance gain then I don't see why not. However, since it's a diesel engine how would this affect the noise dampening. Can X1 really benefit from this? I just want to see if it's worth it
Any advise would be awesome.. .thnx
Update: Cosmetic parts done - kinda (have to re-do wheels as before I could finish 2nd coat of plasti-dip it started pouring
and to top it up tyre guys screwed up plasti-dip on one wheel while changing tyres
)
Just an FYI to those looking to do plasti-dip yourself, can gun is the most coz after spraying first coat I could no longer press the nozzle with my finger
