Thought i would post up the feature of my car in this months TBMW mag.

I have not posted any pics of the car since it has had its engine and box conversion so thought I would just put these up.

many thanks to Andy for taking an interest, top bloke! :)

Dom looks good - did you notice a big difference from the 2.0 to 2.5?

I think its something to do with the deep rich colour of your car contrasting with the chrome that gets everyone - really nice.

Big difference indeed John, still smiling now :D

I have just changed the diff to a 3.64 and also it has a Z3 short shifter, loving how it drives now, like having a new car!

Like Lee, it is one of my favourites. I'm still not sold on the wheels, but I couldn't really say what would look better on there. :mad:

I think the wheels make it - just a subtle enough variance from OEM and not at the BBS split rim side of the spectrum.

That was my thinking anyway when I bought my lensos :D

Before RAV comes on BBS are cool as well, just feel I would need a fire breathing engine under the bonnet to fit them :mad:
