That Silver Thing..



  E46 M3 & UR Quattro
I pulled the old girl out of the garage today and gave it a quick wipe over. Nothing major as it will be IPA'd over the next few days and prepped for WaxStock 2014 in a couple of weeks.

Went for a quick spin to grab a few photos..

Its pretty much exactly where I want it to be now so going to enjoy it and then decide whether to keep it as a garage queen and buy a daily at the end of the summer or sell up and get something else.

Enjoy,
Lawro

These mate.. Recaro Speed SPG's, retrimmed by Edge Automotive in Napa Leather and Alcantara.

I will get some better shots of them in the car at some point, there are a couple in my Progress Thread.

Stunning.

Always wondered, why do people blank off their washer jets? Seems like it's the thing to do! Is it because they leak standard or look better or what? (didn't warrant its own thread)
 
  E46 M3 & UR Quattro
Really, really nice ones.

It looks as beautiful as ever. And it's that mint in the flesh too.

Cheers Callum!

God I want this

those chairs are fit.

Thanks guys!

Thanks man!

I just think they make the front end look a bit more aggressive and less fussy without the washer jets.. Plus the bloody thinks always leak so just one less thing to worry about lol!

Squeaky clean!

Dem seats though <3

Cheers pal!

Exceptional car there Lawro - best 182 titanium on the forum!

Cheers squire!

Where can you get these seats from? :O

You can't buy them unfortunately mate.. They are custom retrimmed, however, you can get similar seats called Recaro Speed's.

Best seats ever

Thanks, I am really pleased with them!

The car looks amazing as always @Lawro

I'll look out for you at Waxstock! :)

Cheers Dan, be nice to catch up with you! I am really looking forward to it.

  A special one.
Dude the car is amazing. If I end up doing the same with the seat's then its all you're fault. ;)

Now I'm going to be really picky, the clamps that hold the induction hose can you not turn them around so you don't see the big ugly bit???

Failing that can you not replace them with stainless steel hose clips as the induction hose doesn't need to be held on by so much clamping force.

Looking forward to seeing you and the car at CSS mate. :D

Utterly immense mate. Boxfresh.

How long have you had it? I'm guessing it's here for the long haul?

Just perfect.

Cheers Jack!

Spot on Lawrence..! Look forward to seeing it soon!!

Thanks Shaun, really looking forward to it!

Thanks man! I really liked the clamps at first but I am not so sure recently.. I may consider replacing them with some stainless hose clips, we will see.

You too, looking forward to having a peak round the PH1!

Looks amazing, as ever Lawro.

Those seats are spot on! :)

Thanks man!

Cheers Gally.. Just over 2 years now, the longest I have owned a car by quite some margin. In fact, it's probably the only car that I have really bonded with.

The long haul, I'm not sure yet. I have spent so much time, effort and money getting the car to the stage where I am happy that I am now too scared to take it anywhere. I won't use it in the wet, I won't take it anywhere and leave it for a few hours and I don't give it hell incase I get stone chips. It's pretty sad really and it stops me enjoying the car which is a great shame.

That's perfect, looks so clean!

Thanks man, appreciate the comments.
 
I don't get how you get it to look nice for the pics? It's a shed in the metal/plastic.

Lol Jokes.

Stupidly, stupidly clean car. Needs a supercharger and keeping. ;)

Ah I ended up the same with my first Frp mate. That is such a shame to hear because I have been there and it's s**t. It's become a show pony. Horrible position to be in.

Luckily I was using my Frp daily so I was almost forced to use it which was good but I just spend the entire time worrying about it. :(Joking aside and trolls aside, it attracted attention and that's not always going to be good. Your car would stand out a mile!!!

Well I am glad somebody understands!

I was talking about it with a colleague at work and he looked at me and said 'I think you need help.' Lol! Joking aside, it is a frustrating place to be.. I am sure Scott would agree too!

I think what happened last year with it being stolen has only made matters worse, shame really.

It looks absolutely mint!! Do like :approve:

Thanks man! :)
 
  V6 255, 172's, JCW,
With you on not using the car too... Lol.. The v6 has been out twice this year. Once for a service, and then Prescott the same weekend. I can only see it getting used for Silverstone Classic and Origine RS for the rest of the year too :S

Its a shame really isn't it mate but I guess it's more of an occasion when you get it out.


Cheers Jim!

I need to see this car at some point.

Careful you dont rub your stinky fingers all over the steering wheel.

Thanks man! Haha, no food or drink in there.. Mrs has been banned from any kind of activity in the car after getting foundation on the passenger seat a few weeks ago! Lol!

That's terrible!! you could at least bring it to Ace!! (not in the rain though)

I keep meaning to venture up the Ace too, see what the weather is like next month.

This looks amazing 

Cheers pal!

Those seats and the wheel retrim make this car.


To say it's something I'd do is high praise indeed!!!

Lovely job, ive been looking at 182's again now the meg has gone..

Good lad! You know it makes sense! ;)

Do the seats still tilt and slide by the way?

Thanks man, appreciate the comments. Yes, they are recliners and are mounted on genuine Recaro runners and frames so perform exactly like a set of Trendlines would.

You know my thoughts on this Lawro, lovely lovely car. Everything just looks so right..! :)

Thanks Jamie! :)
