my iS flew through the MOT today (not a bad birthday present!) :D spending ALOT of money on it is finally paying off so i thought i would post a few of my most recent photos that i have taken. Only got to sort out the surface rust on the rear arch and get my 15" bbs refurbed and on!

His birthday today though so he is probably facedown in a pool of his own vomit somewhere in Torquay :P

thankyou! except i have no front mud flaps anymore and you dont have back mudflaps! winkeye
For the wax you have to wash the car, use the wax and buff out and then give the car a very light spray of water and buff again because otherwise it leaves the car all smearyish. You dont really notice the smears on a white car but i've used it on a mates black e36 and you can really notice the swirls!
