Now the M30 shell has gone i was able to get the alpina reps off(thank god) and the mims on until i fit the brake.
Also hoping to get a full black leather interior at some point so fitted the black boot carpet and subs .
Forgot to keep the black pillar covers and skipped them .:cry:
Its also sporting an i.s lip spoiler now. :D

Image

Will also need to get a black load cover with dog guard .
There is one on ebay atm so fingers crossed to boy will post .

Drives so much better on the Mim's :D


The 4 pots are ready to fit when i get the time.one they go on the mims will be replace by these 16" borbet c's >Going to give then a refurb and a coat of granite silver first.

Top work mate, car has come on leaps and bounds. Borbet c's aren't a common wheel and that granite grey is a cool touch! (whats the actual colour / code of the paint?) So i know for when someone wants to refurb their wheels and paint them a smart colour other than silver

It sits lovely now on them springs too!
I'll check with the manager

Been giving this a bit of tlc

The n/s/f wing had a rust hole by the mudflap so changed that for a s/h gen wing which needed painting.

Removed the front valance due to a small dent on the corner and fitted a s/h rust free one that i shutz and painted.

Painting was done in the garage and air dried so isnt top notch job but it isnt bad and will do my turd proud.

Image

Image

My tailgate will be replace due to a small bit of rust on the inside edge with the rust free one i have off the red m30.

Primed ready to paint.
Image


Also had the after market steering wheel and the cluster off the m30 lying so they went on too.
Steering wheel will be painted black at somepoint.
