Well, after it sitting for 10 months while I was away I was expecting to have to work quite hard to MOT the 318i. In the end all it needed was a new bit of wiring for the windscreen washers and the headlights needed adjusting. Got my insurance docs and tax disc today so I took it out for a spin around Edinburgh.

Great looking car, great scenery too! :)

I really like that Schnitzer front spoiler, don't remember ever seeing one like it. 8)

I agree that colour coding the boot spoiler and bumpers (not the centre strips) would make it even better!

Cheers gents! The pics are actually very flattering - up close the car is starting to show its age (what scuttle?) and it's going to need some major TLC to get it back up to how I'd like it to be.

I'm being slowly swayed towards the idea of colour coding the bumpers at the top and bottom and getting some dealer fresh inserts, but I reckon the mirrors and rear spoiler will be staying black. Once I find the right rear valance that'll be sprayed calypso along with the sideskirts. 8)

Very nice :D

Would colour code the rear spoiler as said, then it wouldnt look like a spoiler thats been fitted :mad:

Great photos aswell, Is Ziggy still running the comp?

Looks good, I like black bumpers on certain color cars. Yours pulls it off excellant. I like the ACS wing in black as well. Makes it stand out and say hey look at me. The tunnel shot or bridge shot was my favorite.

Wicked ride bro!! Love the Black spoiler. My opinion is that it should stay Black together with the bumpers. Truly Unique!!!!

Thanks for the comments, the car is a bit of a shed in reality but it does have potential. Some iS suspension and better wheels would transform the handling and some new front wings and a scuttle repair panel would go a long way toward tidying up the bodywork. One day i might even put a worthwhile engine in it :D

Since you last saw it the only difference is the front spoiler. The bubbling on the rear arches is still there and both front wings need replacing. It's probably looking tidier because it had just been treated to a jetwash :D
