ah, just admire those arches





thanks for looking

[adamS]

Nice and clean as ever!

What was up woth her?

[Weezie]

Stunning Chris, Absolutely beautiful!!!

Worth the wait eh?? lol

[m-dtech]

did you have a feature with this car in BMW mag ?

looks amazing

[billgatese30]

she had some rust starting to come through adam, both rear arches needed sorting, both front wings were shot under the body kit and it was spreading rapidly towards the indicator on the back side, it wouldn't have been long at all unitll it moved through to the painted side so i got two brand new genuine front wings

there was also the odd bubble appearing on the sunroof panel, on the bootlid under the tech 2 spoiler, around the number plate lights, a few little bits appearing on the jacking points etc

then by the time i had the stonechips etc covered up and all the other little imperfections sorted it was better to do a proper job and had the entire outside (including the shut lines) re done

and yes Sarah, definatly worth the wait

Oh dear, I really feel sick after seeing that. What a festering pile of shite. And you actually paid money for that thing Chris, you seemed so sensible.
