Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc'
Cracking update! Seriously nice work. How's the PMS feel now?
I have to go to Frimley at some point in the next week or two so I may pop by if that suits? If I could be no late and you're WFH I'll even give you a hand cleaning it.
Just the one over processed photo for in here.
Did a lovely 30 mile top down blast this morning going to get my brother a 330D. My god I love this car. It's just so much fun.
Really very impressed with AF triple, just need some tyre shine, snowfoam and some wax and I'm sorted for a while...
I shall be commeth, Wick are you coming? Or just meeting me there go head on?
So who have we got? TEG, Matt, RyG, myself, possible wick and possible RDR/Scott?
Running in a lease car Dave?? You've changed.
I really do love these though, pictures don't do them justice (well yours anyway ;) ) on the road they look superb.
Like the other, the wheels I don't think are "enough" for the car that it is, and I'm not a fan of the mirrors, but the colour...
I got the .4, tbh it seems great! Link:

Cheers, interior isn't quite how a 2003 would normally come, when I got it it had electric memory base spec black seats.
It's now got electric memory...
Not immensely, but quick enough. Pre facelift 3.0 is 231hp, the facelift has 255 or something.
Lol! I'd quite like an //M but it's too much of a difference in price, and running costs, for too much of a similar car!
If I hadn't given it that initial clean at your place mate (it's what inspired me to go and get my pressure washer) then it'd have literally taken me all day to clean. As it was, not too bad!
Thanks again chaps, I really am loving the car again now the sun is starting to appear on occasion.
What one mate? I just did click and collect. Proper impressed.
Edited the first photo because I was bored, not normally one for PP, but it does make it look very clean. :o
LOL! That one's too old, wrong engine, all sorts! You're looking for one right?
Cheers Royston, I really can't figure out why so many love the winter wheels so much. I proper love the //M wheels in the summer!
Ta mate, not enough unfortunately, peanuts! (£5k ish)
Sorry Joey, don't...
Cheers Fletchman
Cheers, indeed they are!
Favourite bit about it TBH, gliptone is amazing for cleaning them up gally JD I may try that other product when they get a bit shiny again if I'm bored.
Cheers chaps!
It's weird how the two sets of wheels really divide opinion. Those who like stripped cars and similar like the winters, and those who like newer/baller spec cars favour the summers.
I am proper loving car cleaning lately, so I can't wait.
Cheers chip, funny thing is it was purely by chance. 5 series wheel lying about, thought I'd try them and they happened to fit poyfect!
Cheers chap, I agree on the silver, I do love how it looks a bit more "hard/focused" in the winter though.
Summer I want it looking fresh whilst blasting...
I finally picked up a new Nilsfick Pressure washer last week for a pretty decent price, (never had my own at home before, always nick one or use the unit's one) and I'd been eager to see if it was as good as the Karcher. Worked from home today so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to give it...
I've ordered the gliptone, so as long as it works I'm happy enough for now. That's mainly for the brothers car, I'll try JD's fancy foam recommendation on mine.
Cheers, I'll use the gliptone on mine, and order the LTT because it looks cool.
So even though expensive, the gliptone will rid the seats of silicone? (That's exactly what it was, the bloke even said when I asked if he wanted to pick up my dry cleaning bill) Sent me into a full on rage that a...
Gliptone was ordered before forearms started using acronyms :o
I'll give it a go and see.
Anyone got any advice for getting the s**t the dealer put on the seats off?
It's just like Vaseline ffs!!!!
