My tech 2 325i Sport. 25 years old today 25.10.14

looks like it was a job well done. absolutely stunning!

don't wax it though especially if you're using a caranuba wax. wait til the paint is settled. rule of thumb is you can wax a polyurethane paint after a month that it was painted. the rationale would be to wait until the paint settles onto the metal

I dont even park it outside my house! It lives in a garage 10 miles away untill i move next month and get some off street parking!

[bss325i]

I finally got the time to finnish off the few remaining things that needed putting back together along with the final pollishing and waxing using the excelent meguiars products i bought. Not much more i can do untill the e46 is sold so here's a few pics of the end result, just wish i had a better camera than the one on my phone which does it no justice and the location wasn't the greatest either!
Btw, forgot to dress the tyres and put the '325i' and 'M' badges on before taking the pics so you'll have to wait till Guildford or Gaydons pics for better ones!

[B7]

Looking good. And FINALLY we get the weather to do it justice as well.

Those cloud shots remind me of a shot i took of my e39. I'll see if I can find it.

Looks a peach Barry it really does.

[B7]

Found it

[hubble]

Nice pics Barry. Get the tyres dressed. Will make a big difference. I know some people don't like using it, but I think it brings the car out more.

[swindy]

Well done bud, fantastic work and what an outcome, be proud and look after it, really nice motor.

Jelous, me nah...........

[bss325i]

I have since bought some meguiars hot sine tyre tyre dressing and trim detailer which has made a difference!

[X3MCP]

Nice pics m8 looks like a Hubble photoshoot

[bss325i]

Nice pics * I tried to use text speak but the text speak filter stopped me * looks like a Hubble photoshoot

Thanks, i've tried using certain angles to shoe the paint finish but my phones camera isn't the best!

[hubble]

Barry. 600 photos of my sport and still counting! Just love taking pics of it.
Get that camera sorted out! I'm looking for more sport photos to add to my collection

[oakey]

Don't think I'm going to make it Barry. Will have to see. Supposed to be a big turn out too. What about you??

[bss325i]

Yes i'm going, got received my club membership and display pass yesterday. Only 4 weeks to go!

[hubble]

You'll be buzzing mate. All those e30's lined up. And yours all minty. Are you driving it there or having it brought on the back of a trailer??

[bss325i]

I'm having it air lifted in by helicopter! Nah it will be driven lie last year.

Barry. regarding your front bottom spoiler,
