Shaz make sure u give me a call when you start putting paint on the V8 or if you decide to break it. I need some parts sprayed & let me know if there are any calypso parts for sale..

I got the leathers a few weeks back from a zoner called jimbob

love it , looks like a great car ! as nice as they are i think the wheels make it look a bit pimp, lovely stanndard bbs would suit the car better , or a darker/matte gold bbs would look great i think with the color of the car, interior looks super :cool:

ones like donnys would look :cool: with the calypso

The wheels are very bling, but i like them as they transform the car. 8)

Hopefully if the weather continues i may have a go at painting my 15 bbs, not really feeling the gold look but i am intrigued by a hyper silver finish :D

But im doing the paint myself as their my winter wheels so will probably go basic and just find a metallic silver finish paint

I would but the splitter touches the drive when i exit and enter the drive. Plus we have some mean speed humps round here, the speed humps that go between your wheels are a no go for me, tried and tested :(

They transformed my interior mate it was great buy for me and a great loss for you. But if you ever did want to buy them back just ask, i'd meet you at fleet services and you can have them for £500 winkeye
Plus im still lumbered with them door cards you gave me their always in the way but there in good knick so i refuse to throw them away lol

Cheers rich, all i do is keep it clean and feed it my wages. All the major work was done by shaz at juste30z, I'd recommend him to anyone in the london area. He's always quoted me MUCH cheaper then other garages so i don't bother fishing around for quotes anymore i just ask him to do it and his works always to a good standard.

Looking good - What wheels (and size) are the 16's and what size tyres did you go for?

How much were they if you dont mind me asking.
BMW E30 2.0 Convertible (M52B28)
BMW E30 2.0 2 Door (M20B28 Turbo project to start)
BMW E36 328i Sport (M52B28 Turbo Project)

The wheels are 8j & 9j i think, i need to ring image and find out for sure.

tyres are falkens 195/40/16 F & 215/35/16 R. They were almost brand new and fitted to the wheels when i bought them, I would defo go bigger when it comes to changing them, maybe 205/40 F & 215/40 R

How much did i pay? :nono: Can't tell you that..
