Rolf Pfannerer – My Evolution to Clownshoe Owner

Rolf's Clownshoe

If you have a story that you’d like to share about Clownshoes, how you came to own yours, or an interesting story about it that you’d like to see featured here, feel free to send it over!

 

My evolution to being a Clownshoe owner and fanatic of a near perfect Imola Red over Imola Red/Rlack 2000 M Coupe started with my purchase in 1996 of a then new 1.9 Hellrot Z3. I loved that car (Still do. It is my DD.) and couldn’t imagine anything more beautiful or entertaining. My wife and I happily shared this car as I would sometimes have to drive my real “bread van” for the bakery I own. Back then if you wanted to look at pictures and read articles about your car you actually would buy magazines. The Internet was pretty crude and empty up to that point.

Teaser | Sky’s Headlight Retrofit

More to come on the headlights, but here’s a comparison of the output. These things are amazing! Thanks so much to Sky for building them for me!
 

Video | Dorkfest 2015

My wife rocks and not only loves Dorkfest, but also recorded a bunch of videos throughout the weekend and edited them into a great recap video. Whether you were there or not, I think you’ll love the video!

New Coupe Cartel shirt up for grabs, inspired-of course-by the Coke logo. Originally posted a hastily made version as shenanigans on Instagram, but I wanted a shirt for myself and quite a few other people requested one as well. Here is the refined version, ready to order. Place your order by Sunday September 13th if you’d like one! Get it here.

 

Group Buy | Sky’s FX-R 3.0 Brackets

If you have a BMW Z3 or Z3 M and want better light output than stock, Sky’s brackets are the way to go. They allow most anybody to retrofit FX-R 3.0 projectors into the stock headlight housings without the guess work associated with other retrofit methods.  Sonar (which Umitza offers with upgraded components) look drastically different than stock, and don’t match up to the light output and OEM+ look that the FX-R 3.0 projectors provide built into stock housings.

 

Purchase includes retrofit brackets, necessary hardware, and all the free tech support you might need during your retrofit, directly from Sky. You will need FX-R 3.0 projectors, HID components, and whatever you choose to use as shrouds. Also included is a TheRetrofitSource.com (TRS) discount code that saves around $40 on your purchase for the additional parts.

The group buy will close July 10, 2015 as long as the minimum of 10 orders are received. If the minimum is not met by the close date–which is highly unlikely given past demand–payment will be refunded in full. Domestic orders are expected to be delivered by August 7, 2015. International delivery dates will vary.
