Hello Gang,

Since I have never really posted any proper pics of my car on here, I thought I would do so today. The reason for that is my car is not a CSL. I call it my version of a CLUB SPORT even thought CS's in the real world would have a bolt in half cage and light weight racing seats.

Some members on here requested to post pics of my mods in my sig, so here are some pics from a photo shoot done by me and my cousin for Darth Vader (My M3) a few months ago. Shoot was done for a members ride feature on our FB Bahrain Supercar Club Page https://www.facebook.com/BahrainSupercarClub . Thank you to my cousin Fahad for the shots and for using his property. :)

The size of that garage is obscene :hahaha:
The car is obviously a labour of love, it would probably have been cheaper to buy an SB, some nice touches, particularly like the '0-60 Motorsports' add on the Panel, do you also have it on wallpaper for the Sat Nav?
Surprised that 'CMC' didn't comment on your splitter, I know 'adem.csl' would. :whistle:
With Vorsteiner having dropped their CSL parts they may be an opportunity there if you have CF fabricators at your disposal?:thumbs:

I thin its a 13 car garage. It's lovely. I am working on the front race lip issue. I'll update Adam as soon as I get a positive answer on it.

Thanks mate. About the M5 knob, it's one of the best mods I've done! Every time I would drive an M5/M6 I would notice the feel was much more ergonomic. So I did it. And this is the funniest part, before changing to the M5 knob I mostly drove in A4 mode. Now I mostly drive in S4 mode :)

Steve, the VORSTEINER bumper is one of he most exact oem Csl bumper replicas around. So the oem Csl splitters are a direct fit on my bumper. I'm thinking the race lip should fit perfectly. Let me get a reply back rom them today and I'll see what they say.

Really great pics ! Nice car, a huge quantity of modifications ! :notworthy:

Is there a special setting to switch on all the dashboard light (before starting I guess ?) ?

Is it the C110 that you use? I'm looking for a good one so that I can reset the EML light when it gets tripped driving like a girl :hahaha:.

Hhmm if I get the matte they'll stand out on the other matte and glossy touches on my car. I'll need to ask my mate, the founder of ///MFEST, Chris. I'll let you know what he says in a few hours ;)

I have the 100 cell Supersprint cats and the lambda sensor seems to be overly sensitive with light load cruising.

I know it can be mapped out, but I just want to make sure I pick the right people to do this.

Mike you should get your car propper mapped instead of resetting the light all the time.

The right people are definitely EVOLVE. Contact Sal/Imran and use my username as a referral. You will love their tune and customer service.

chrikey you have put some rent into that.

would you not have been better off buying a LHD CSL from Europe and be done with it? or are there massive costs and taxes with importing one to that area?

each to their own and all that.

LHD CSL's cost way more then I have spent on my car. I would love to get a 1M though :)

I agree...tried it.....not bothered again and doesn't seem to make my lap times any worse (in fact they have got better)

Cool. Good to know the gains are not much but did the car run any smoother. CSLs seem to have some hesitation naturally in our extremely hot weather.
