I drive an E46 330i, albeit in Touring guise, and I've also got a 182 Trophy.
It's pretty much all been covered but the two are totally incomparable. The Beemer wafts along in sixth gear and the smooth delivery of the straight six gives smiles, and so does the noise, but it's more of a smug...
Car looks great and I really like the red on the front and rear end, but not so much on the bonnet, not on the roof, and definitely not on the skirts.
And I've got to agree with Kyle - lose the C L I O badge from the rear.
Apart from that it looks fantastic, and I bet the AD08Rs improve the...
I'm coming from Newbury and will be at these places at these times:
7.30am - Chieveley Services (M4 / A34)
8am - Leigh Delamere Services (M4)
8.15am - Layby on Acton Turville Road, just off the A46, a few hundred metres north of M4 J18
If you want to meet elsewhere then crack on, see you on...
This car is a serious credit to you, it's bloody lovely especially considering how you bought it. Good effort Chris, it really makes me want to get my Trophy done white with red graphics.
And so many other people too! Either of you received any dodgy PMs clearly meant for the other? ;) Christopher Christopher.
Anthracite Turinis look like they were made for that car, they should have been standard fit for that colour. It's a no-brainer for me,
I'll talk to you about mine at...
Yay!
TimR26 - can you buy tickets on the gate and still get on the stand?
For those wanting to meet up and convoy to the stand, how about the following:
7.30am - Chieveley Services (M4 / A34)
8am - Leigh Delamere Services (M4)
8.15am - Layby on Acton Turville Road, just off the A46, a few...
I really like that shape, and agree with cat171 on de-badging it. Looks like you've cleaned it up a fair amount, good effort, I just hope it stays that clean for more than a few hours ;)
I'm really disappointed I won't be able to make it this year, as like others, I still haven't been to a CSS yet, and the amount of effort you're putting in for everyone is admirable! Fingers crossed 2015 will be my time but sadly this year I'll be at Edgbaston for the Twenty20 finals day.
Welcome aboard, enjoy it!
And if you're free then come and join as many Trophy owners as we can get together:

I've got one you can have, Gavin.
I bought it but just never got round to fitting it. I'm happy to dig it out and send you as many pictures as you wish.
We usually meet at Chieveley Services (M4 J13) early doors. No reason we can't breeze through Leigh Delamere if anyone wants to meet there, then we can gather at the layby on Acton Turville Road, just off the A46, by J18, before heading to Combe.
All timings will be confirmed in the next week...
This is a seriously impressive car, project, and thread, a real credit to you, Scott.
What stands out far and above so many other project threads, and it's been mentioned before (several/many times) is the attention to detail you're putting into this.
It's so inspiring to see someone take...
