You back onto tapes then, did you struggle to find a machine to copy your CD's? :D

Very nice Baz - I like the red number plate surround.

Think you should have kept the 325i badge on the boot though.

Are the rocker cover and inlet powder coated, painted or just super clean ? I want mine looking like that :cool:

Cracking car Barry

You want to take your pics later in the day, just before dusk, it will really make the paint look outstanding when it's not as bright.

Even the under bonnet sound proofing is perfect!

One of the best examples on the zone, absolutely stunning!

Well done mate! :cool:

Thank you all for you nice comments. :)

Rob, both the inlet and cam cover are painted. I had them done 3 years ago and the painter just mixed up come paint to match the bare aluminium of the inlet.

Imy, I would like stitched leather door card to match the stitched leather consols i'm having made up which would make up the extended leather that was a rare option but the cost of 4 door cards is allot so that may have to wait till next year.

Noah, yes this road is very close to Ric's old flat so a high chance he would have took you down here on the test drive. What shows are you going to this year?

I have been out and about in it again today enjoying some 80's tunes whilst rocking my pair of white wayfarers! :cool: The Climate/air con install has seen some worthwhile use as well.

As they say on the Mcdonalds adverts, "I'm lovin it!" :D
