Whilst starting the preparation and install for my Karbonius CSL Carbon Fibre Roof I started thinking about the final overall style of the car again. It particularly came to the front of my mind when a friend, who was working with me on the roof install, asked what the deal with the CS badge on the boot was. I realised tat whilst that choice had made sense to me it may not really land with others who are unfamiliar with BMWs and understand the history of the CS badging or the idea of what the Clubsport moniker encapsulates. From previous research and investigations into Clubsport branding from BMW that I could use to keep the style I knew of the somewhat rare E46 330i Clubsport so i thought I should take another look to see if there was anything from that that might help pull the theme together at all. It was at that point that I came across the ///M Clubsport door sills that are used on the E46 330i Clubsport. They struck me as perfect to help tie the theme together. They are an off
So hanging around on the Australia sub-forum of E46Fanatics the other day I stumbled across someone trying to part with a brand new Karbonius CSL Carbon Fibre Roof. Didn't think much of it to start with, it's something I always planned to do in the long run but since all the spending on my build thus far it was a step too far in costs. Although after a few days of no one snapping it up, which i was surprised by, I decided to get in contact with the guy and see if we could make a deal that suited us both. Turns out we could, he needed to part with it and I had a desire to get it under market value and we met amicably in the middle. So now with zero planning or preparation, or general thought on other parts required or costs involved, I have myself a Karbonius CSL Carbon Fibre Roof!
