end of jan i decided buy a 318i cab off a freind who bought it and lost control totally damaging every panel on the car, i put off buying it since 2011 due to it being what it was, jan freind come round cldnt resist how cheap it was plus had alpina reps and few other extras, so bought it and got my hand stuck in, it started life green but it was badly primered with half bits missing as well as d/s wing so decided paint it black, today i finally put d/s door on mw its only outside of door, quarter and boot needs painting, didnt realise how quick and nice it went but it looks like a nice car again nw so happy thought id share my day with u all :D i will ad pics on wkend when i get it out

The black sport looks a nice car.

Did you keep the Alpina reps on the 318?

318 is a nice all rounder, surprisingly nimble.
