"I'm not going to do anything to this car"
Is what I told my wife when I collected my E91 a little over a week ago...
Today these arrived:   My rationale is that this isn't technically a 'mod' since they are standard on most of the E91 Sports anyway, mine just came with the Sport 17s. But that's definitely it!.... For now

, but before they arrived she came and home and said "have your wheels come yet?" to which I jokingly replied "yeah, didn't you notice them?"She takes a look out the window at the same 17" wheels that were fitted when I bought the car and says "yeah they look really good", I said "do you prefer them to the old ones" and she said "yeah they're much nicer" Shows how much attention she pays to my cars!

Lowered my car and added spacers all round, didn't notice. Fitted LCI cup holders and she was all over it before we'd finished getting in the car! |

I said that when I bought my last car 2 years ago, ive actually stopped spending now because theres nothing else to do! only good thing is wife doesn't give a damn, don't think shed notice anyway. I think modding should be recognised as a medical problem (perhaps we could get help for it on the nhs) bit like pringles once you start you cant stop!

My missus would only notice if she thought it was expensive!
you could go OEM+ then you wouldn't be modding at all Edit: also just noticed that you're a local boy! HEY! |

I also said the same thing 2 years ago.
My missus diddn't notice the downpipes, remap, intercooler, wheels or anything. Even driving it before and after. But she does notice if I come home and have had 1 pint after work!! |
