Post Wed Feb 09, 2005 7:48 pm

good looking car, mate! I like the colour. looks really nice and clean. love that steering wheel. I'd get a shiny mint set of bottle-tops if I was you, people almost give them away these days. I got a brand new set straight out of the box made in 1986 but never used for 1000SEK (~75 squid).

An update...

Sorry bout the poor pics again, not the best of camera's and i dont know how to get the best out of it!! Plus it was damn cold so was a mission to not shake the camera whilst shivering lol

New M3 interior

Rear end shots, yes i know it needs a clean!!

Front end, got a dechrome grill but not sure about it atm, gonna leave it on for a bit n see what i think..

Few random shots

Pretty annoyed this one didnt come out well.. Looked ok on camera viewfinder..

Random attempt at a more arty shot..

I moved on this one, but i think it came out cool so i added it

Post Mon Mar 07, 2005 11:32 am

Looks good mate. Certainly is getting there.

Can't decide about the chrome grille. I'll have to see it in the flesh.

Looks good without the centres on the BBS's though!

Post Mon Mar 07, 2005 12:01 pm

looks sweet!

will look better with an iS lip i reckon

bbs 4ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Post Mon May 23, 2005 5:10 pm

A few more, washed it today n the sun was shining so went for a random photograph session :lol:

Anyone comments on the different wheels n i'll come n let your tyres down

I'll get round to finishing it over the next couple of months after my exams n when im working full time. Also no comments on the plonker damage!!

I'll get it sorted as soon as someone sells me a damn lachs silver offside wing!!

Post Mon May 23, 2005 5:16 pm

Now I understand the 18 wheel bolt thing

It's looking good. Lachs Silver really is a nicer colour than I thought

The black grille suits it too, I'd keep it

Big up the 316i massive

PS: Love the different wheels

Post Mon May 23, 2005 8:19 pm

Looking good mate!

Your arty side coming out in those pics!!!

Good stuff.

Post Wed May 25, 2005 11:21 am

looks very tidy mate-

You and Zayyan can be the m40 massiv :lol:

the steelies are crying out for a 3.5 to make it a sleeper

gotta keep the 175 tyres tho for proper hero-chariotness....

Post Wed Jul 06, 2005 2:55 pm

Another little update.. Picked up these 16" BBS' last nite.. Just about fit under the arches altho they do catch some of the plastic arch liner after about a turn of lock, but then again they are 225/50's and et 20 with the already wider M3 track stuff on there. Hardly touch the arches, got em to scrub once whilst hooning it round some roundabouts but thats it..

Also got the new lip and the mirrors, altho still not got the m3 rear arms on yet!!!!
