[bss325i]

Creosote?

Waxoyl,if that meets with your approval!
Bloody stuff coated me garage floor,me,and me axle stands...
The Dulux just covers the odd bits 'out of sight',or if you look carefully on this shot...

Flash makes the neon green come up as blue,but look at the rocker cover....

[Alex]

You use dulux??

[daimlerman]

You use dulux??

yes,top quality paint that brushes on without leaving streaky bits!
What colour do you think would be best for my wife to keep clean on the BBS cross spokes,when I have saved enough pocket money for new tyres?
I am thinking satin black centres with silver rims....
Just trying to keep her work load reasonable,of course!
Wonder if Barry's wife washes his car's....

[bss325i]

I wouldn't dare let her!

Not streaky?

It's not pretty...


...but it should be strong!

[Alex]

Ooooo Nooo you need some neon blue rattle cans over the top of that

[bss325i]

It's a neon green one!
With the engine in and the headlights re-fitted you cannot see those bits,I am building a car to use every day,not a show piece.
The welded patches are plenty strong enough,well away from any suspension mounting point so come under the 'cosmetic' label.
I have,atually,sprayed over with a neon green Halford's can to satisfy you purists!
Think it will look good on bottle top wheels though....

[bss325i]

Fair enough if its a daily hacker, would it not bug you though that you know about it, it would me

13 pages on about bloody bottle tops this is a disgrace sort your selves out

[jaymos]

13 pages on about bloody bottle tops this is a disgrace sort your selves out

just shows how popular they are

[town325i]

not really there are only about 15 different people that have posted on this thread so i find that inconclusive

[Simon13]

Behold the 13's first E30 where it all started back in the hod carrier days! I used to like my bottle tops on my 318i, with windy windows and roof and no PAS!
325's or 2.7 with 14's on are hilarious for sideways fun too!


If you look carfully in the first picture people you'll notice the half leather M3 Evo 2 interior i bought for £150 from Ad Trader in the day. I was in tears as i only wanted to give £125 as it was only my drivers seat that was f**ked and i had to buy a whole interior!

Before any of you ask i didn't have a clue what it was apart from they were comfy and not broken. I only learned their truth worth after i'd sold the car



My old 318iS, looked sweet on the 14's. Barry you change the goal posts to suit your opinion on some things!

[Ollie_bwoii]

Barry, hiding a dirty secret are we?



Now lets play a game..............Guess who's idea this was?
