Mattig Tiki Surfer E46

[Kirby]

Bleecchhh....

• Tikki-style paintwork and extensive body kit
• Complete set of wheels with “Surfer” rims in 8x20 with 235/30ZR20 tyres
• Sports rear silencer and KW suspension

The Tikki-style BMW 3 series from Mattig, which can be admired at the Essen Motor Show 2005, is straight from a Hawaiian surfer film. Based on paintwork designs typical of cars from the surfing scene, the E46 adds a splash of colour to the vehicles quite different from the plain colours usually available from body shops. This design once again highlights Mattig’s expertise as a specialist for offbeat car styling.

This unusually painted BMW gleams with its airbrushed wave pattern and naturally also features a number of sporty custom components to match. The front of the E46 is pepped up with a GRP front spoiler along with a diamond grill, giving the front end of this mid-range car a sportier look. This BMW 3 series is given a more serious appearance by a set of headlight covers. Mattig enhances the rear end of car, which is otherwise somewhat lacklustre in the series version, by fitting a number of body-styling components. For example, a GRP rear apron to match the spoiler at the front. The Mattig rear spoiler, which does not appear too obtrusive but blends in harmoniously, has a stabilising effect at high speeds. Complementing this is also the rear window spoiler. Sports mirrors complete this stylish package.

To match this of-beat design and paintwork “Surfer” spoked wheels measuring 8x20 with 235/30ZR20 tyres are also available. To further enhance the already excellent handling characteristics of the E46, Mattig offers a KW coilover suspension for this sporty saloon. It goes without saying that such a stylishly customized car also requires the right sound. This is created by fitting a stainless twin-branch rear silencer.

If this is the German stereotype image of the surfer community, the surfers should be thoroughly pissed.

Just when you think you've seen it all....

There is always someone else out there to prove you wrong. 20" wires on an E46!! Good lord man/woman get some sense of taste, because that car displays none IMO....

I hope whoever did that is planning on keeping that car for a long time... or selling it to some idiot. When you paint a luxury car the resale value goes into the sewer...
