I have set an Aug date with Uwe for having both our cars done and at the 'Ring...

16" BBS may fit.. Tempted to go with a change of wheels with a change of shell, so watch this space!

superb, i was thinking about asking if there was any news only a few days ago!

molest it at will, it had obviously been unloved for some time, getting it up and working and molested to a high standard has to be better than leaving it to rot.

i wouldnt worry about wheels for a long time, but throwing stars look fine on an m3, despite my personal fetttish for the bin lid covers, the 8s can look a little lost at the back though.
cheers,

This is very true.. It could be standing and rotting, or I could molest and bring back to health and enjoy it! :D

Uwe, you are a legend, cheers for the 'taxi' service.. 900 miles over 36hrs with a trailer! 8)
my pleasure, was a fun trip. Shame we didn't have more time to down a few more beers in that quirky little pub.

EDIT: it will look awesome in sterling with the carbon bits!
