Bought an RS as a daily

[AlphaBad3]

So just picked this thing up as my commuter car for whenever I don't want to drive my built BMW. I had a fiesta as a daily before but it got totaled by hail. This thing was riced out bad before I got it on the outside, so I've put in a bunch of work the last couple days cleaning it up, took the ruined front bumper off wile I wait for the new one to come in. It has a carbon fiber front end which I plan on color matching, and makes 23 pounds of boost. And the green BMW, that's also mine.

Welcome to the forum AlphaBad3!

Like the black/white contrast. Keep us posted how it's going. We like lots of pics here

It's only going to be black for a bit, it's carbon fiber, and I'm not s fan of the raw look

Welcome to SOF!

That looks like a pretty tough BMW. What year is the RS? Do also have the 17" RS rims? The set on the car are the base alloys.

It's a 2014, the previous owner sold the OEM wheels....

Neat car. Looks like you have pretty good taste so the RS should be in fighting shape in no time.

Agreed on the raw carbon fiber... it was cool in the early 2000s, but not anymore haha.

For everyone who doubts it's an RS because of the wheels, lol

No one is doubting it's an RS; it's just too bad the seller didn't include the larger, lower, and wider RS rims. They're much nicer.

Is that a set of clinched over fenders I see on the BMW? More pics of that please. Sonic looks like a good base to start from!

Thanks! I did get a pretty good deal. I like to think I'm a pretty good car enthusiast lol. Would you believe the previous owner was in his 30s??? At least he only got quality parts under the hood.

Oh, no joke.... I thought perhaps you were exaggerating...

I mean it took me 3 whole days working all day to get it to where it's at. I'm just ready to get my front bumper in and get the whole thing white. I already polished it

I've seen this car when the previous owner was showing it around FB. So glad you saved it and they threw that poor excuse for the grill/bumper away!
