Post Fri Apr 08, 2005 7:58 pm

Just got back from the garage, car is looking nice in fresh brilliant red. Will be fitted up next week. My friends business partner (the sprayer) even cracked open a new gun to use on it

Car has been fitted up now...only little things like the black strips in the bumpers and new badges to go...oh and a good buffing.

will hopefull get the inlet manifold changed and a service on saturday so it can be MOT'd and away I go.

All that work on a new paintjob, and you didnt remove the side windows/trim to paint under them? Shoulda removed the rear windscreen as well.

I'm sure you had your reasons, but its about 1hr of work per side to remove the stuff, and maybe an hour on the rear.

excellent a regay...

yeah watch out for overgay - feathering - on the plastic surrounds for the windows.
unfortunately my gay30 was subject to this

How much would he charge to do an M5 bottom half? Finding it hard to find a sprayer that wil do a job to my standard for a reasonable sum.

I think someone was touched in sensitive places by bigger boys down the lane!

i was wondering what was wrong with him. are you sure you haven't been staying in Neverland adam? :lol:

M5Pilot...difficult to say without seeing the car. but he said if no rust and just a respray around Ãƒ”šÃ‚£650 cash. He did my M Coupe too and he is good. Karan, Wil and Demlot crew have seen it and he has matched the silver very well. If it isn't too cold and rainy will be coming to lakeside.

Yes it was Sam. Believe it or not that car is standard apart from ACS suspension. The drop makes the 245's look even wider.

I was the guy in the green/beige cap. Make sure you come and say hi next time. I know its difficult when there is so many people.

Post Wed Apr 13, 2005 9:00 pm

M31MY.Have PM you again.Hope you get this one.

Post Wed Apr 13, 2005 9:04 pm

cheers guys....Karan I am now addicted to the power of the M Coupe. going to be hard to tear me away from that thing. I've been hassling Carreras in it and racing motorbikes (and getting thumbs up from the bikers!) When you went out in it, it was only giving 60-70% throttle. It is now major beast

also had it rolling road tuned today.

I'm trying to get one of my family members to buy it so at least I still have access to both cars.
