Just wow! Wish I had the talent and salary to do that, the attention to detail is so much more than first class.

Brakes like that, exhuasts like that... on a 323!?

Brilliant installation.
However, I don't like it at all and it's not for me, but I respect what he's done.

Belgium = €€

I just suck it up, but most people don't like to.
I probably shouldn't have, but there you go.

edit- I missed your point.
I agree it's slight overkill on a 323, but it does look the part.

Brakes look standard, he's made composite back plate I guess.

Robert.

Nice job

 

[Fr0dders]

all show and no go

If only he'd done that to an M3 rather than a 323.

Nah - if you're gonna weight down a car with tonnes of mdf and ally just for the stereo, it may as well have been slow in the first place.

Boot build in a saloon, waste sad face

Excellent build though, really like the copper rods, fantastic idea

Boot build in a saloon

Yeah, one of those rare 2 door saloons that look identical to the coupes.

Stand corrected it's a coupé but same thing boot wise

Stand corrected it's a coupé but same thing boot wise

So where would you put a boot build? An estate?

Just lol at the moulded holder for his phone. I could understand something a bit more pretentious like an iphone, but a battered old Nokia?

Brakes just look like some stick on trim to me. Nothing special.

Or, not. Given that the coupe has no bulkhead between the cabin and the boot. The saloon does.

This pre dates the iphone. It's quite an old build from memory.

 

[ShakenNstirred]

dont like where and how the tweeters are fitted

 

[Jonny69]

Well, I don't like the finished product, but I do have respect for the dedication and time that went in.

 

[Clarkey]

Am I the only one that can remember this then, its really very old.

nope, it doesn't pre date the iphone.

The 2630 was a budget phone from Nokia, launched in mid 2007 according to GSM Arena .
By that time the Iphone was out as well.
The point still stands though, you go to all that effort and make a custom holder for a phone that didn't cost more than £20-30 new?
Maybe he didn't like Apple but still if it were a N95/K800/any half decent phone I'd understand but the way he did it the holder costs more than the phone itself lol.

The build is probably late 2007, can't be older than that judging by the phone model at least.

Mobile phone are hideously expensive in Belgium.
Not everybody cares that much about having a smart phone anyway..

FWIW, we [in Belgium] pay the most to send texts in the EU, and have done since the dawn of time.

But yes, it did strike me as a bit odd to make that for that phone and mp3 player
