Welcome back the beast is repaired

[dave123]

After 3 weeks of driving a fiesta 1.25 and Alfa Romeo 147 i can say that getting back in the sport blew me away!

The repair is 1 st class, i think its better than it was pre accident although i need an M badge for the front grille to bring it back to full health. Any ideas?

Summer is on its way, cant wait. Big thanks to all who helped me with my various insurance based questions but it turned out they were great, so big plug for ATS.

Glad you're back in E30 land...

Cheers man,

Its got black Recaro leather, was that an option on the M3 too as ive seen a few E30 M3s with the same interior as mine

[billgatese30]

might have been, like geeman (jag traitor man) said, what is goin on with the whieghts

[dave123]

I never really thought they were that bad

Where do you puts yours inside the rim?

[Kedge]

Chuffin hell, thats bad what did you hit?

This is mine after hitting a stationary Rover at about 20ish!

[Simon]

Looking better Dave! Bet you're glad they repaired it!!

One question though....where's your maplights in the mirror??


Chris, the weights on the wheels are on the inside of the rims.

[Simon13]

proper recaro's very nice. M badge for the front is a dealer only affair i think for about 20 notes. I tried GSF and they only sell the badge for the rear

[Splondike]

Glad you got it sorted out Dave - mint motor

I think Euro car parts do a front ///M badge too - may be worth checking..also Motormech do one as well I believe...

[dave123]

Off to europarts tommorow!

[Splondike]

Dave - whereabouts are you and who repaired the car ?

[dave123]

In Manchester mate.

Local bodyshop specialises in Maseratis and does A1 repairs, hes a friend and he is a petrolhead who knows a good car when he sees it.

I asked the insurance if he could do it and not some chav whos work id never seen and they said 'yeah'

I dropped him a few Stellas off when i collected it as i cant stop smiling now!
