mate, spray those rear indicators red and it will transform the car, they never flash orange mind but it does look good!

Good looking iS though, whats that on the viscous fan surround? looks like a load of grease or something?

It's oil which was comming from the timming chain tensioner plug washer. The rear lights are going to be smoked to match the frount and side indicators

Nice - i wish id bought a 318is rather than the 325 now, if only for the (assumed) better fuel economy. I like it. Take no offence from this, but does anyone think that them front splitters look better in black?

mate, if you cane your iS it will have just as bad economy as a 325, you have to drive conservatively, ok on the motorways but it is difficult not to be a little more enthusiastic when you go through the twisties winkeye

Nice looking iS bud...another member of the M42 club 8)

How about some se skirts? Now they would look sweet :cool:
Colour code the rear valance, give it a little drop and may be some pop out rear's and your away...tech 1 rear boot spoiler too...man i can't stop :mad:

How many miles has it done bud?

I had a similar oil leak like your's, but through my own stupidity....I left the oil cap off, after topping it up and drove off to work, only realised when it started to sound fubar'd :o:

Looks like a nice car mate, very clean. Personally i dont think that mono-brow does it any favours tho. Your car so what ever makes you happy! :D

like the car alot apart from the brow!!

the polish helped too by the look of it - you still need a porter cable on it... it would come up better than new.

is a random orbit polisher - all the pro-detailers have them... not as harsh as a rotary.... i had my last car done and it took all the swirls out of the paint and brought it back to a wet look finish.. awesome.

my 323 is being done in a couple of weeks time..
