Top work Gazza, all of that in one night is something to be proud of. I sorted my ICE yesterday and i thought that was an acheivement, you've put me to shame! Keep it up, you have a lovely car.

Gareth, that looks GREAT!

Loving it. Very envious now... :wink:

The good thing about replacing the 'drivers' seat in an M3 is it's actually a passenger seat from a normal E30, hence usually in MUCH better condition!

I think it looks amazing. Nice one.

Diamond Black metallic Chris.
I couldn't find another Macau blue one as good as Jon's.
I had to settle for this Black Beauty.
Not a mark on it.
