No centre caps will look better than those caps imo.

Nice work, i'd have painted the calipers black or silver while I had the wheels off though.

Have you painted them up ?? I had my stuff for ages before I got round to doing it :o

I don't see why people do this, if they want a BMW they ought to go out & buy one !

Yep, hammerite smooth, black. I cleaned up the calipers & gave them a few coats, then left them over night to dry. The next day I put the ap decals on the front, clear laquered over those, left the lacquer to dry for a bit, before putting the wheels back on. They've been done about 18 months...

Dawn - your right about getting the wheels off, they are bloody hard to get off ! Remember you use a bit of copper grease on the hub when re-fitting them too (it'll help reduce them being 'stuck on' next time) I always use the plank of wood and trolley jack route with axle stands too. -...

I'd not touch replica seats at all tbh. Evo 8 seats come up a fair bit on ebay, it's just a case of keep on looking.

You could get some oz f1's (as per the mk1 172) but they are only 15's though, they do them in 16's but they are quite rare.

Deary me ! Is it an actual car or a home made one ??

Fpmsl !!! ;)

I saw that top one on there the other day. I hate Laguna Seca & the blue interior.

Since when was a vee the bench mark for seeing how fast a car is ?? A vee isn't overly fast at all. I like it, but it's way too much money.

I pay £15 a month for the sim only one i'm on, it's just the standard o2 one. Much better than paying the £35 + a month that I was on contract.

Imo your better off going to a specialists. I had my plugs changed last year as I wanted them done, i can't remember how much they were though (I had loads of stuff done)

What are they doing on it ?? It's high imo.

I went for o2 sim only in the end, I can't be arsed being tied to a contract any more.

Imo turini's on a mk2 phase 1 car don't look right (yes I know that cound weird)

Cracking pics, I like those :cool:

I've not seen this car round HX i'll have to keep an eye out.

Good man !! Getting your hands dirty ftw ! It's not a difficult job tbh.

My mate said that the seats in his trophy have started to wear a bit where the seatbelt goes over them. I've not seen it though.

Try your local stelaers, see if they can order one in for you. Other than that, as mentioned eBay - but search in the EU too, one seller ' Mcpilou ' (without the 's) often has has some nice/rare modsels in, he's based in France..

^ They were pretty bad mate. I remember back in about 1992 when autocar tested the valver against the rs1800 - valver was a lot lot better. If we were only sticking to fords i'd make the same choice as you.

If the cars standard with the sticker etc then it looks crap. If the cars modded up (lowered, different seats, cage etc) and looks like it goes round a track a lot then I think it pulls it off.

Tbh you won't know until you see it, one person 'mint' car is anothers shed. Good luck, I hope it's a nice one.

Beast !!! I like it a lot !

Xr2i's were never any good when they were new & the seats in them are some of the most un-supporting seats ever !

I'm not really a fan of stickers, so it's a no from me.

Good man. I love them in 16's - imo they need a refurb, but they are cheap (as long as they are straight etc)

^ could be yeah. I've had it for two years now (to the day lol) and i've never had dust.
