Done a few bits , had a majour vallet done and machine cut and polish on the bonnet. I removed the eye brows and put a M tech badge on and changed the plates and surronds too. Also fixed the fuel gage and fixed the bulb for the dials.

I am one for the little touches here and there rather than big changes.

Here are some various pics done this evening.

There was alot of work done on it a few years ago by an previous owner, kept the looks up to scratch but let the basic engine matience go out the window so I just spent £1600 getting the engine repaired. The car has had a 30mm drop done which suits the look of the car pretty well.

The back arches need repairing which is getting done in a few months and I am going to get it checked for any other rust and fully resprayed. This is a practice project to do before I save up for an M3.

Was it you I saw this weekend (Sunday I think) on Cowley Road in Oxford? Pretty sure it was you I saw driving past The Regal night club opposite the City Arms??

Nice car if so, did notice the rear arches tho if I'm honest so glad to hear you're getting them seen to :D

I live just round the corner from there, where abouts are you?

I didn't see these pictures before. Just came across them now.
All over the screen.

:drool:

Do you have any photographs you haven't put on the Zone? Because otherwise until I get a camera, I'll have to make do with just the ones that're up at the moment... and having the car in the garage.
