Cleaned the swirl bus

[Cliotoby]

Black Hole. And topped with a wax, 10p to whichever b*****d can guess the wax. G1, Rain Racer...... Paintwork is in a s**t state although nothing P1 cant take care of, so machine polish end of May unless its been keyed or stolen by then.

 

[JD]

s**t. Should've bought an M3.
Ran into your girlfriend earlier on Clapham Common. WHHEEEYYY.

End of general abuse.

 

[The_Pirate]

Did you wash it on the street?

 

[Cliotoby]

No, I went home when I collected it and made use of the driveway, hose pipe and pressure washer. And two buckets.

Back at the house now, feel like Im living on a council estate. I shower twice a day because it makes me feel so poor.

JD Hands off. Do you ever go to Regano Pizza?

 

[Gally]

Looks superb Toby! Can't believe you bought Black though! Madness!

I'm guessing good ol' Carbon.

 

[Cliotoby]

Bingo. Thanks. <3

Yeah Ive had black before. Took me 2 days to realise why I hated black so much.

Dust.

 

[JD]

JD Hands off. Do you ever go to Regano Pizza?

Lol!

Mates rates Walk home, battered. Walk into the old flat, pizza in hand. Few ocasions where I've woken up with an empty pizza box, without the memory of going in!

 

[Ash']

Lovely car mate!

 

[Cliotoby]

Its right outside my GF flat. So I regularly consume their pizza. And hers.

Holy crap, your girlfriend is "slutty suzy" who lives on North Street?!?!

"She's Clapham crazy, she's Clapham mad, I don't know a resi-dent that Suzy hasn't had!"

 

[Yellow Dave]

You writing a song there JD? lol

Been using carbon a bit more lately, starting to find it difficult to justify the extra cost of Glasur at the moment

 

[Cliotoby]

You know her then?

I don't think glasur is worth the extra

 

[JD]

You writing a song there JD? lol

 

[Rob]

That looks superb mate, are you concerned about the wheels cracking with the runflats (iirc you said it had them)? Many of the new bimmers have this issue.

 

[Lal B3N]

Could of polished the exhaust lol!

Looks well though, wheels look great.

 

[Cliotoby]

I had 4 hours to do the car so the wax and windows were the priority. Wheel arches are dirty too

Rob - Yeah quite concerned. The RFT's are horrid, pelting it down bumpy back roads is a bit un nerving right now and they make for a bad ride and poor handling characteristics. Im saving up for Supersports though Im not sure how soon that will be, hopefully in a few months.

 

[Rob]

There's no need to save up mate, borrow some wheels off someone, the RFT's will sell for FORTUNES on ebay, enough to buy new proper tyres. Sorted.

I'd rather get that done that have a wheel crack and cry all the way to the bank.

 

[Cliotoby]

£800 for Supersports on the same profile/width!

The RFTs are in good nik. Maybe I should buy two tyres at a time, sell the others on ebay then buy the other two and sell....

Dont have access to spare wheels.

How much are they worth generally? Theres a good 5-6mm of tread left.

e/

Just looked and there seem to be loads of them on there but no one is bidding.

 

[Rob]

You're not miles away from JD are you?? Clapham? I have spare BMW wheels.

I'd say you'd probably get 650-800 for a full set of 6mm tread runflats with no issue.

 

[JD]

His girlfriend is close by. Alright.

 

[Cliotoby]

In Guildford.

Im in London tonight actually but not driving.

​Il buy the tyres first then sell them. They dont seem to be selling for much

 

[Rob]

Seriously? Those on the z4 forum sell their nearly new run flats for enough to cover the cost of new non run flats most of the time! That is normally 18's though.

 

[Cliotoby]

Do they sell on fleabay or the forums?

​

 

[C.J]

Nice, didn't see this topic before.

Get some Autosol on the exhaust.

 

[Cliotoby]

Mate dont go there

 

[Scrooge]

Looks nice that, a full detail will have it looking lovely!

 

[Cliotoby]

End of May I was planning on it.

Funds a bit tight this month - I wanted to Gtechniq it. Thinking £40 might be a bit much to shell out for paintwork sealant. Plus Im using ONR all the time now.

 

[Yellow Dave]

Friend has just bought a 330d looking identical to this, should have it Saturday. Some people have too much money on their hands.

Have offered him in the past access to all my detailing kit, he knows how to safely wash it but yet still chooses a weekly trip to the local gangster smuggling dodgy hand car wash. It's his first black car so will learn quickly I'm hoping
