Not really?

I know his job and was just saying it'll look sweet with a new set of (his own refurbed) wheels.

Oh and it's Santorini blue :mad: :D

i do have an ultra rare set of 16" BBS RM splits to go on, they will definatly cause alot of 8O when i finally get the time to finish building them winkeye

Before:

After:

Leguna Seca:

Image

Now when i bought it, the car was supposed to be Leguna Seca, BUT, we had some mixed up and it was totally the wrong colour, i then found the recipt for the respray it had in germany quoting "Santorinblau" i then did some re search and found the paintcode, funily enough this was a perfect match for the paint on the underside of the boot lid and the engine bay, it was just the rest of the car it did'nt match.

When the painter rubbed it back he soon found that the car was a few different shades (look closely at the 1st pic) some panels where lacqured some where not 8O anywho, i love the new "origional" blue looks so much better than the smurf blue imo.

Next to go on as quite rightly suggested are the wheels, some carbon brake ducts and an evo2 spoiler. Also i have just bought a set of smoked hella's and smoked indicators, new rear lights and i need to smoke those aweful bloody sidemarkers :x

Thanks for the comments so far :D[/img]

nice motor mate, i really like the colour, and personally i think the wheels are nice, something different on the M3. But i get bored of wheels quickly and like to alternate between sets. Is this the M3 that went o n Ebay a few months ago?

nooo, not RMs! bloody vw wheels :cry: surely you must be able to get your hands on some tasty RSs??

like the colour, but also liked the light blue it was before too! what suspension is it on, because it looks very low, but with a nice stance.

i was also thinking how nice it was to see an m3 without the evo2 jimmy hill chin, but it seems that it likely to change.
cheers,

harry

yes that would be my father, im staying at his house whilst he's on holiday as he keeps getting broken into.

The integrale's and other fancy machines belong to his business Forza Italia.

unfortunatly you'll only see the black E36 touring of mine from next week as the M3 is destined for a large mechanical over haul :D
