Adams right, mine came from the factory.

Nearly every Motorsport Iv'e seen hasn't got rear headrests. And Iv'e seen a few.!

Was an extra I think, I bet it was a silly cost plus VAT.

Cheers Gareth.

Becky is after some rear headrests for hers although I think she might struggle with finding Lotus White ones!

Adam/Becky


Have a look at what they are breaking. Looks like it might be Lotus, but the question is, will they sell the rear heads?.

Cheers Gareth.

I love those plates Gaz, keep toying with the idea of getting some for mine. I've only got a 6 character plate so sould look quite good in the German style.

Hmm. Looks crap. Needs wide arches, monster brakes, nice bright paint, 20 screens and a banhing ICE with lots of engine bling, then it will be a true Pimp car :wink: winkeye

Rich man to have both a Msport and M3. Can i be your son please :? :D

Msport are old hat you need to move onto the M3.

Watch this space winkeye

The Rieger is getting it's final mapping session today. It put out 210bhp an less than 3k rpm and minimum boos and that was with standard injecters. It now has the 3.5 injecters and 150bhp shot of Noz strapped to it. Hoping for 400bph without Noz winkeye

As for the M3 i'm looking and that's all you're getting from me :wink:
