Badge has been taken off, going to get a new one and replace in the correct place (it was an inch too high)
Still needs a good polish!
It's getting there - close your eyes and imagine it's black!

Yeah nice one mate. I'd love leather but the interior of mine is it's best feature having only 65k and never had anyone in the passenger or rear seat - just some fat tw@t in the drivers seat.e30topless wrote:fook black red looks sweet Chris

A right good polish!!!!
Use 3 E30 window winder torx bolts as the retaining screws as the correct screws are not available.
Cheers Pete, should it have one? It's never had one in the 8 years I've had it.
It's starting to worry me how anal I am getting with it. I think there is going to be a good couple of days just on the engine bay. I'm really pleased with the result of the rocker top and plenum but that just shows up other areas in the bay that need sorting. There is nothing wrong with the expansion tank or washer bottle but they wouldn't clean up after soaking in neat TFR but then you look at the dizzy housing, the AFM and alternator......then the throttle bodies!!!
I'm going to need an account with autosol!

Looking good mate. Before you polish it, make sure you Clay it. Amazing how much difference it can make.

As for the M3 badge, when I had the new boot lid fitted, they never refitted it, and tbh, I prefer it without. Looks cleaner.
