Cheers guys,

looks damn fine my man!!!!

are those 205/40/17's you're running?

regarding badging, the 318is badges are a little sporty... i'd change to 316 badges like Davetouring!!!

WOW! that looks the dogs danglies

very cool car-what drop is it?

top man, looks good, get some bay pics up.

Jim my good man! she sure is looking sweet, thats going to be one well set up car when you get all them bits on it!

that looks mate nice job

Sorry missed off the wheel and suspension spec updated it now..

I went to the $tealers today to get the fitting kit for this skirts, they had a part number on so I took that down and it said M-technic on the screen, the M-Tech 1 skirts was pictured above it.

Engine bay is a bit dirty which needs cleaning before Brooklands

Nice car dude...I'm not one for one for white cars usually but yours looks the biz and will go like fcuk when you've got her sorted. Credit yo you.

sorry off topic but is that your house in the background

fantastic looking car dude any pic's of the new engine

Not my house I'm afraid it's just a bit further up from my house, a nice little place to take some photo's, saves me driving somewhere and finding I've got a load of deads flies on the front again

Haven't been able to do the mods this weekend, weather has been too nice!!

the best thing was, i was 3 up cos it was on the final leg back from le mans, car practically scrapping on the floor it was so full of camping stuff etc. the golf had just the driver in

have to say though, those vr6s sound bloody lovely

im well jelous jim mate would love to have that set up in the touring

Goin with the Zone boys on 14th August, but I don't think I can wait that long!! Last of the engine mods (Emerald still in the pipeline..) will be done at the weekend so I may have to go somewhere local and still go to the zone one for a laugh.

You got the final few bits on yet Jim, any new pics?

Jim your car looks sweet. keep to your roots and leave the badge on, werewolf in sheeps clothing..
still havent got around to fitting the gearbox yet as ive had alot to keep me occupied, new brakes go on tomorrow only greenstuff pads and brembo discs but its a step in the right direction! phat sound system in progress so throttle body will have to wait but the induction kit i put on today sounds good.
