How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

I thought the same Dan. Rav finds all this very confusing. If its not sea bound he's fooked.

The rocker cover does look pants though Ant.

It is a nice turd though. A credit to your graft. You'll be loving the extra ponys and lighter nose no doubt. :cool:

the extra grunt over the m50 is great Dez, and as you say, the lighter block is also noticeable compared to the heavier sister of the m50. i changed from m50 to m52 in a weekend and i noticed in the first 5 minutes the nose felt sharper while the rear felt umm.... looser 8O
i felt the cam cover had to go white as there was to much black in the bay :)

AJ - iS front splitter is on the to-do list along with se side skirts, interestinly the side skirts were never optioned on this car when new, she has everything else an se would have except the skirts and headlight leveler. wierdly she has the wash wipe but not leveler :?
i dont want ///M kits ect as i like the original (ish) look which is very often under estimated by many :D :roll:

ferg - i thought you might approve on the wheels mate lol. the car can be blisteringly quick, and many of the boys can belive how well she goes and in a 23 year old shell :cool: . i know the car isnt a sport but the victim was an e36 328 sport so i sort of have sportness. although you cannot tell unless i either open the bonnet or you loose, quite badly to it :teehee:

thanks for the feedback mates, she makes me smile every time i drive her 8)
