.. to a decent wash! the first time it's had any more attemntion than a quick wash and rinse in the past couple of months. a full on wash, dry, de tar spoting and a decent effort at polishing it, even a squirt with some tyre shine 8O

not bad for a daily driven high miler even if i do say so myself. shame that was last weekend and at the moment it looks so filthy it might not have been washed for months.

roll on spring!

nope, only bought it at the end of september, and won't be selling for a while, also hardly ever use ebay and my username doesnt have harry in it :D the car was up for sale on ebay when i bought it, but has changed a fair bit since then.

last saturday, and no, we hardly got any snow at all. was supposed to hit hard weds night, but only had a couple of hours on thurs morning. not even enough to coat the quiet road i live on!! gutted.

cheers for the other comments too, i'm very pleased with it, it now looks pretty much just how i wanted. unsure exactly what to do with the front end, evo chin spoiler of sport evo undertray and splitter. although it looks ok as it is really. black grille, not sure. will have to get a spare to paint and see how it looks. kinda think it hides it too much which looks odd when the bonnet is shaped to draw your eye towards it. i won't change things for the sake of changing, only if i'm sure they'll improve it.

took me long enough to pick the wheels, then find a set with the right offests and colours, yet 95% of people don't realise theyre not the 16in bbs rss it came on!

brief update,

finally got my recaro highback copies into the m3. have set them so theyre pretty much the same height as the standard sport seats in their lowest position.

a lot less soft and baggy feeling, but not suitable for those of a larger build winkeye

i've also been looking at red cars with blacked out grilles and have decided it's not for me. although the other grilles have faded so will be painted soon and things might change :D
