stunner mate

[luxconvertible]

Yep original colour quite a good match doe'st matter to much as i resprayed the lot but i used the same varient on me dads 318i an that was good!! its the second time i've painted it, done it bout 2 an a half yrs ago now this time round most of it got bare metalled!!

[Royalratch]

As in real bare metalled? How do you guys strip it back to metal?

[d6dph]

Amazing that you can't see the orangepeel and fish eyes in the pics.





looks great Ben. You now need to look after the paint properly, Woody said you use an old pair of boxers to polish it

[luxconvertible]

soon to be featured!! but i'm not to sure if i wanna put it in pbmwm!!? as most of the cars in there r tacky as u like with pants body kits! thats if there english! ]if not there a high powered car nothing wrong with that!!], But there most probably done in florida or sweden or some other foreign place!! Other than britain Just thought it was a british mag? so there 4 i would of thought a brit car would have more athoritare

I paint stripped the bonnet, and the rest [the wings an doors] i ripped of with a geared d.a with 80grit!! Etched, polyestered, primed then painted!! Proper job!!

I can vouch for the quality of Ben's paint on this car, i was desperately tryingto find something to wind him up about at lakeside, but not a thing was wrong!

Ben. Want to paint a few bits for me before summer?

and concerning PBMW Mag, I know they do like dutch people as well remember the alpinewhite E46 M3 looky from a few months ago? and not only that car, but al ot of belgian cars are already shown in the Mag. but hey, it's worth a shot to try ;) certainly worth to be shown towards the great great world

I have a question, this is the second car that i've seen on the site with new looking bulkhead sound deadening pads. ie the ones against the bulkhead by the battery and along the bulkhead to the fuse box cover. where do i get them from ?
