Plus I think they look a lot meaner once lowered; purposeful. Bloody love 'em!
Zimmer - I agree - I'd love to start adding some appropriate tech 2 goodies but I've got a second baby (not me, the wife has!) on the way - priorities lie elsewhere for the moment.....
Morat - agree - Hartge stuff is just right in my opinion.
Simon13 - I bought that ECU off you last weekend (already ****** it unfortunately - it was so dark in the room that I ended up prying off the wrong chip - I know I'm bell end, sorry - can I buy another one off you perhaps?) and can vouch for a) his cars, b) his spares, c) his ability - he was stripping an engine when I got there and d) bloody nice chap too
Studbeedo - that sunroof is effective (not in that it's dead good at keeping the rain out!) but taking the cover off makes the interior so much airier and lighter. Nice touch.
Fuzzy - my dad had a new Cosworth in 1987 (E525TCS) that he had Brodie Britain take to stage 4 I think, which at the time was effing quick. Got a website or thread on your car? I'd love to know more. We once went to Hungary in it and on the autobahn dad hit an indicated 156 and he wasn't even trying. Felt like 70. So, so quick. I think it might have gone quicker but he had me, mum , sister and all the luggage with him so caution over valour won the day.
Joe318i - clear indicator lenses do make such a difference to the lines of the car don't they? Where did you get them from?
Back to work!
they came from halfords i think age's ago

E24 635csi Leather Genuine Recaros.
It did have Racing Dynamics front/rear bumpers and RD wheels, but I don't have any pics of them, except for in the Gaydon photo's by Performance BMW.

Gaffa tape is like "the force" - it has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
There's nothing that shouts "Poor Workmanship" more than wrinkles in the Gaffer tap

I'm in the process of moving over all the bits from the touring to the 4door that i've added (general concencous is i will make more money by returning the car to the spec i got it) and once that's done i need to replace the front brake pads and discs and then it should be up for sale.
Oh and need to get my private plate moved over aswell.
I will probably offer it up here first as would like it to go to a good home

The black lower half is to get away without trying to match brilliant red/ pink. Bottoms of doors have a few scabs as well as on the sills etc. So a bottom half spray in black will do the trick for me, will probably be matt black too.
I ain't spending proper dollars on this turd in the looks dept, only on stuff to make it stop & go and change direction better

I agree!
Couple of random questions for you; what size is the towing eye you have? I currently have no tow eye and thus need to buy one, but what size eye to go for? Secondly, what is that front bumper/splitter? I love it!
