thanks for the comment

not sure of the cost

mike have you been to a few of the breacon meets your car looks so familier

[mike318is]

yes been to two of them

did you use to have a red 318is

after bugging ben from chromeline design for a few weeks to get one shipped over, i finally got one

have to say a big thank you to ben for sorting it all out, as i know the company in the usa did not want to send these over

have to say it a lot bigger than i thought it would be, but not to big which i like

it needs a little tweak on one side, but i do that in the week when i am at a mates garage

think this is the only one fitted in the uk, apart from the acs one which is very rare

here a couple of quick pics











i also sprayed my pre face grills, which i think looks a lot better

That looks great, beautifully kept.
I`m going to be after an E36 after Christmas to replace the Honda, I'll be looking for an auto though, much prefer them for everyday use. Ideally i'd like a 325TDS auto but all the ones I have seen are sheds, so it'll probably end up being a 323 or something.

thanks

the 323i is a nice car

if you can try and get a 328i sport, as they are even better, and are a good price at the mo

when i first got my i pod i had a mobile phone holder to fixed the ice link for the i pod on

i always hated it there , but could not find anything i like, so i made my own








took the ash tray out and made it out of some mdf and some leather which i got from sleeper [ cheers mate ]

it not perfect, but it was my first go at leathering
