This is the actual colour of the car now. Notice the contrast between the car and the old colour on the wheels

I took some pictures lastnight before the rain came down, but i'm having problems uploading them from the disk so i'll have to do it again tonight

I was going to say the opposite in that it looks darker especially if you look at the bumper under the offside lights and the bonnet on the offside.

Elliot i only have the M badge because it matches my colour scheme of black and red, otherwise i'd have to go for the normal BMW blue and white jobbies and they will look completly out of place.
Besides, i'm looking at a M5 conversion with super charger or a M3 conversion with a super charger. I've already been stung on my current engine so i'm taking my time till i find someone i can trust to do the job properly and not bend me over with the KY jelly and have fun with my backside.

In a way, i dont want people to know what it is straight away. I love it when old biddies ask "WHAT CAR IS IT YOUNG MAN" We'll see how it goes, but normally getting anything done as a prototype will set you back a bit of dough

I'm not meant to say anything for legal reason's, but i know someone who's in the middle of a rift with them at the moment for undone work, so i'm waiting for to see the outcome 1st. Besides a Company like Zoom will charge you top dollar. I believe more in one man and his garage at the end of his garden who takes pride in his work and will do you a top notch job for reasonable money. That way you save money and he makes money and evetyone's a winner

That's the rick isn't it Karan. One of my mates uncle is a s#it hot mechanic who can do it in his sleep. He worked for BMW for about 25 years and won verious awards including mechanic of the year several time, but he's old now and only does servicing and little jobs as he can no longer lift heavy parts or work for too long. He said he's supervise me on anything i want to do on my car, but between work and my little girl, i just dont have the time to take on something like that, so i'll just have to keep looking until i find that super star
