  • Well a parcel came today with a few small chunk of the many outer trims I've ordered recently lol



    This is just the outer bumper rubbing strips front and rear! Have more bits on the way! Will update as they arrive! If anyone hasn't used bmminiparts I would suggest get on their site! Saved atleast 40% over BMW prices if they have them in stock and around 15% if they have to order them in!!

    Car in it's current state!!





    Got my hydraulics switches neatly tucked away too



    Thanks for looking

            It's Santorini with black added to it to make it darker than the normal blue! Very similar to the e92 limited run of 500!!

                      • Well tyres arrived this morning and I wasted no time getting them fitted!!!



                        Had a little help from my friend mr cheeta lol



                        Then I set about testing them on the car with tyres







                        I've got plenty of tweaking todo but happy is an understatement!!!

                        Thanks for looking

                          15mm spacers clear the brakes on the front and allow bbs waffles and centers to be fitted over the studs!

                          • Not done too much lately frankly not had the time!

                            • Well as of late the car has been the Bain of my existence! She's nearly ready but not yet! Should hopefully be back on the road this week which I honestly can't wait!!!

                              I've also recently upgraded the stereo and amps and I'm very impressed with them to say the least!!

                              Currently now running
                              DLS A5 Amp
                              DLS A2 Amp
                              DLS UP6 front COMPS
                              DLS UP5 rear COMPS
                              Diamond Audio 10" Sub in the ski hatch running free air at the moment







                              Got the bumpers fitted back together and fitted the plate flipper again but now with a new front carbon lip as the old one had a few battle scars lol




                              Then set about polishing the car up after flatting and fitting seals and mouldings







                              Added a special touch to the side mouldings


                              Window tints have no gone so this is how she currently stands!!!



                              Few more bits and bobs and I'm ready to roll!!!

                              Thanks for reading
