Better, you can preview your message before posting it for real. Try doing this a couple of times and editing the text to suit and you'll be away in not time.

Car looks good, not made up on the wheels though. Have you got a shot from the side 8)

Seems you've put the same image address in each time. If you click 'quote' on this message, you'll be able to see the text entered that makes the pictures show on the board.

I'll have a play around with the site later and suss it all out.
I've not got big plans for it due to lack of time and english sterling!
Bought it off fleebay for £200,it was sorn off the road,so got it mot'd (£230) and replaced the steelys,don't like the wheels much but they were a quick fix.So all i've spent so far is £520.I want to lower it,black the kidney grill,put on some rear mud flaps,get an is front lip and some front fogs.It is a good example i think,318i auto,no rust and only 110k on the clock,it just needs a good t cut and redo the head lining which is common on tourers.Open to all styling suggestions tho!!! :cool:

definatly at least 40-60 drop
would change the rear lights as ther not to my taste
and in my opinion as a cheap fix for the wheels spray the black with a tin, i think that would look good against the white!
