Hi joe chromie is looking good dude, loving the pictures.

[Joe-318i]

Right first up date for this year, and a while actually

the time had come about 2-3weeks ago where i had to do something with that exhuast as it was way to loud, so ending up booking the car in at basingstoke longlife center, to get a full stainless steel system

must say the chap did a very good job of it, and im well pleased, its not to lound and just right










also got a bit bored today, so started to clean the inside and replace a few bits





also sprayed the rear shelf up in black, think it looks a lot better than before





after
