Superb mate!!

What setup you using to run the TS's with?

How much is the front lowered by as i'm unsure if -60mm is too low with the M50 lump?

I can't run mine with that front lip, catches om everything :-x
E34 x 1 - V8 + lots of CF
E30 x 2 - Tourings (1 x M50, 1 x M40)
RS6 C5 - Stage 1 remap - 500bhp

What is your e-mail Oakey? Any preference as to which pics?

Georob, E30 M3 suspension.. I don't know how much it is lowered by, springs are AC Schnitzer for an M3..

I have to be careful with the lip.. Caught it a few times

Such a wicked car, S50 with carbon airbox would work well I think...

Where are the wheel covers?

Oakey.. E-mail sent..

Theo..

I reckon it would also, bit of a carbon theme going on and all..

Wheel covers are in the garage.. I had the tyres swapped L - R and the plank put the wheels back on the wrong side, so took the covers off to swap, but couple of bolts were knackered so need to order some more to put them back on

I prefer the TS's without the covers, look great with black inners and polished outers.

They do look cool with and without.. The covers are functional for brake cooling, so will probably put them back on tbh.

Erm.. I think some turned out ok, 1st attempt with a D-SLR, I think there are better shots could have been done with the camera, but have to start somewhere. It was on manual settings though

There's something about your car, relatively stock looking and not overkilled with bling but it does look quite a horny weapon.

You don't need photoshop, I've never posted a pic that has been touched up (as I don't know how to :) )

Prefer the throwing stars you had on at the pod 8)

Looks good enough for a trackday now :)

Just need some cable ties and duct tape. Sort the silly loud exhaust and get spanking it around, that will give you the enthusiasm to get it s50'd quick!

Its a smart car that, the wheels look good with or without the covers. 8)

So we have the multistory carpark at the bottom of Balkern hill and Colchester business park.



I think anyway :P

Where were the container shots taken Dan? Car is looking fantastic as ever. I think this is so nicely done, no chavvy wheels or tech2 kits. :thumb:

I get this, and I am only 22. 8O Keep getting thoughts of going back to an Audi. You can get a 2000 audi a6 2.7 bi turbo Avant for not a lot these days.

What a nice chariot that would be, not fast, but not iS boring either. I am torn between this and a 540i touring manual.
