Decided to give the car a good clean and detail, wanted some snaps as i have no decent ones of it since i finished it.

I used cheap car shampoo, petes 53 wax, cheap window cleaner, meguires tyre shine, chemical guys new look trim gel and on the inside a good hoover out and a coating of chemical guys vynal and trim gel (think thats the one)

I await grief for the wheels :D

Wheels dont look too bad because no stupidly over-stretched tyres .

Good pics though.

Nice photo's

What head unit is that? Is it CD/MP3/USB?
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Nice car. I like the wheels but would personally have BBS 15/16.

I wouldn't drop it either.

I guess it's a 93/94 from the plate? :cool:

looks quite nice that. i like the strong colours like blues, greens, met burgundy(whatever thats called). the wheels suit it and i would lower it to a 60/40. not so sure about the leather though.thats the wrong colour.
a tech2 kit,black leather, a nice drop and a decent engine and that would be ideal :cool:

That's looking good Alex, just needs a proper engine and some stance action and it'll be cock on.

Because my personal preference is to have less gap between the wheel and the arch and it's not as BMW intended, it's sitting on 16" Borbet B's! :tongue:

I'd better keep my modding opinions to myself so not to upset the OEM Homo's in future.

Not a massive amount to be honest its a one owner car with 47k miles, bought it all smashed up so the respray helps too :)

Thanks for comments everyone keep thinking about putting bbs back one, I wish insurance was easier with engine conversions being 21 doesn't help. A 40 mm drop with some e90 top hats should do the job

Alex, looks good with both wheels on!
47k! That's low! I thought mine was low with 67k.
Can I ask where you had the re-spray? I'm considering having mine done.
