nope not a pro, just a budding amateur! I've just got a nikon d50 and a little bit of Photoshop.

yea its in for a service on Wednesday so hopefully if it goes ok. If nothin mechanical needs done I've a little list of things I'd like to do.

new SS exhaust, (simple twin circle tailpipe)
smoked indicators
new boot seal, new rear light seals
get the wash/wipes for the lights working
new sunroof motor, as this one isn't working
respray the driver side wing mirror as this ones starting to bubble
get rid of a little bit of rust on the scuttle panel
and for those that haven't noticed, a tech II front bumper

think thats about it for the moment

Great clean looking car Well done. :D

Not sure about about the replica wheels and DTM
Quite like the mudflaps. I was thinking about having some fitted to mine to stop any stone chip damgage.

In pics 3 and 11 I blurred out the background slightly to bring the attention to the car. Other than that all I did was adjust the brightness, contrast, levels and white balance slightly

As for Polish, its whatever the local Polish guys at the car wash use, I think its AutoGlym :)

Tidy ride fella, looks like some hours of elbow grease there! People seem to slate alpina reps, but they suit the car well. Not everyone has 1500 to spend on a set, let alone find a decent set,so why not?Keep up the good work :D

I know what you mean about the Alpinas I was looking at getting a set in til I found out the price, I have what seemed to be Alpina reps on mine but they have PCW centrecaps might just change that though.

Nice motor you got there!!!!! winkeye winkeye winkeye winkeye winkeye winkeye winkeye winkeye
