Soooo after 7 months in my lovely 328i Sport, the opportunity arrived to swop my car allowance for a car. After much thought, deliberation and general umming & ahhing, i decided that i was essentially fed with with putting huge mileages on my own cars & really wanted to get back into track days...
Too right, bargain sh1t boxes FTW lol.
Easy to spend money though.
Bilstein Grp N front dampers & Bilstein B8 rear dampers, ie the shizzle. Now mine ;)
Can't tell your off work at all Nick :rasp:
Cars looking great, didnt realise you could take photos as well as drink black sambuca 'til your eyes bulge ... i've been keeping my eyes out for some seats for you actually!!

Probably on hold until i earn my millions tbh, i looked into the 'on-track' running costs of one & scared myself a little :eek: hence the sh1tter instead, much less money to fix when it breaks/needs new tyres ....
Well, with a tear in my eye i let the Beemer go to its new owner this evening :cry: It sold to the 1st person to look at it, no haggling, just best cash price ... didnt even get round to putting it on PH/Autotrader lol, just a couple of forums!! Had 8 people lined up to view it as well ...
Yeah, when i was umming about 106/306 gti's!! Ended up going full circle & stumbling across this instead lol.
I've been having similar thoughts tbh, i managed to get the rear bumper for £20 so it was rude not too, front bumper & dents & ill live with tbh, as you say, its gonna get abused...
Buy a faster car. End.
Or if you really want bragging rights down the pub, simply get a penis extension, then you can willy wave to your hearts content ;)
What do you actually want the extra power for? Track work, overtaking or do you simply like pouring cash down the loo & rebuilding things...
Wont be standard for long lol, picked up more bargains tonight :D its seems that a Corbeau Sprint Bucket, mount & TRS 6 point harness have found there way into the garage ...
Unfortunately, i took it for the MOT this morning (Kwik fit £35), expecting it to fail. It didnt disappoint tbh...
Hi Carl
Rallye is looking lovely as ever i see!! Reminds me of someone elses old car though :rasp:
Great to see you over here though, might be worth pm'ing admin about offering your services ...
In case anyone is wondering, Carl is the only person (other than Rentech) that i have let...

Dan: Will come over soon, although tbf, come to me ya lazy (but arousingly musclebound) git x
Tom: I wanted to copy your clio, just with a smaller, pikier, sh1ttier...
Well, after recently jumping at the chance to have a company car to do my 25k a year in (320i M Sport if anyones interested :cool:), it was definately time to get back into fun cars, ie the French sh1t boxes that i know & love :D
After much umming & ahhing and deciding that the 328 really...
I am, i just have a nice bucket/sponge/chamois. Not a detailing geek by any stretch of the imagination lol :rasp:
And JD, £100, seriously you need to move down to Surrey, i was quoted £350 to do my BMW!!!!! Might just get Sarah to pay for a track day for me instead, this polishing larks way...

Cobra Daytonas for cheap
Recaro's that are the same as the Renault ones (from an Evo 5/6). Also cheap, ie £350. So many fools on here that pay a grand for Trendlines :eek:
These are from an Evo 9, they cost about £350 + subframes at £150.
Thanks for that guys, although maybe I under sold myself a little bit as i dont think of myself as a 'detailer' lol, more interested in driving than cleaning tbh.
I already have Chemical Guys shampoo/wash mitt/bucket/gritt guards, miracle dryer towels, meggs claybars, application pads &...
It is the same car lol.
106 is looking great, gti's/vts' really are a bargain these days, can be modded/fixed for bugger all & best of all, will fit in my garage ...
Im currently a bucket, sponge & chamois man, but my girlfriend wants to buy me a 'polishing kit' for my birthday (last June btw lol), strangely her TT needs some scratches removing ...
