I think your car would be better suited to the pages of Total BMW mag. Performance BMW seem to prefer the nasty chav and U.S. stuff. I love the look of your car by the way, Wouldn't change a thing about it and would enjoy reading an article on it.

i got rid off the trip computer due to the head unit coz its a double din, so i made a new pannel cut the bottom of dash out and moved heater controls down for more room, but its done tastefully so not to look out fo place .......robbie

Oh now I do like that! Thats beautiful!
The 18's don't look too over powering either like some other 18" rim choices I've seen.
Nice work!

Hey barny,
I've been given the chance to get some 18" alpina reps and was wondering how much it cost to get your arches flared and rolled. Do you have any issues at all with rubbing or clearance issues on full lock?
Looks so sweet with 18's.

hi mate i was not easy coz i have heated and streched and rolled the arch lips at the front and flared the rears and smoothed iside so there is no water traps realy its a bit involved if you dont want any rubbing i only done it coz i built car from a rolling shell. if you took it to a body shop yor prob looking at £1000 to do it propaly to fit

Screw PBMW, they can't get anything right anyway, how many M20B25's have they featured now that have had dry liners fitted ow and larger throttle bodies when the pics show stock TB and inlet manifold.
Are you up for the meet tonight at Raydon? Check the meets section, there's gonna be a fair few there tonight!
