Waiting for him to sort them. Going to get the best one printed nice and big for my workshop wall, remind me why I'm there 80+ hours a week! Just blu-tacked my private plate on the back for the pics, and looks so much better with the front plate removed! Going to run my 3/4 front without the...

Bit of an update on the car. Managed to get a Mk4 nav unit and digital TV box, so now just need to sort bluetooth out one way or another for the AV side to be complete. Dropped the car at the bodyshop for rear arch rust and front bumper respray this evening too. Still got a way to go but...

I will own one before I'm 40, and a 993 Turbo. That first vid is at Carsington reservoir; makes any vehicle sound awesome nailing it past the bank like that!

I have 2 sets of 18's now. Might look a bit better when lowered and spaced out on them, then see what takes my fancy. Colour change on 18's maybe?

Thanks Chris, will have a look on there for them. Took a few pictures this weekend after giving it a decent clean. There's a lot more bodywork that needs sorting than I originally thought, near on a full respray to get it as mint as I want it so that's another job for the list I guess...

Did you import them yourself Chris? Straight swap over?

They look bang on Chris, are they the same as I linked above? The grill I had to try, not the end of the world. Good set of rims will be on the way after the other bits and bobs. Been doing some research and I think my front wishbones are a bit tired, so will be getting them done and probably...

Mint! I wanted one but the extra space in the M3 swayed me.

Depo's are staying I'm afraid, but I will rectify the grills.

Black grills are sold I think, so will be on the hunt for the 4cyl. grill that badger posted about I think. We're all allowed mistakes, right?!

Will get it done when I drop it into the bodyshop a week on Monday I reckon. They look a bit too 'big' being all in black.

Walking up the the car today I'm inclined to agree to be honest. What do we think to colour coding the outsides of the grills and keeping the slats black? Might soften it a bit?

I'm going to Velcro my 3/4 plate straight to the bumper I think. On eBay mate, pm me and I'll send you a link later (can't do it easily on my phone) theyre £120 a set I think.

The block of plastic that screws to the bumper, then the plate is screwed to that. Loads cleaner front end without it. Good call on the LED's, I'm going to get some 'lookalikes' that still retain the normal bulbs. I think they look just as good but a lot less hassle!

Fitted my black grills today, personally I love them :) Also took the plate plinth off and it looks a million times better, so that will be going when the front end is resprayed, and I'll go to my 3/4 front plate, makes it look a lot cleaner. Just picked up my other set of 18's, so will get...

Got a bargain set of 18" wheels and brand new Contisport M3's for £246 today, good old ebay :) So tyres are sorted a bit cheaper than planned! Bought a nice ///M seat cover too. Struggling to find anywhere to sort my leather problem out though which is annoying. It goes into the bodyshop a week...

Lol at people keep asking about driving a Clio, he's already said!! My 182 to this day was the comfiest car I've ever had, including over the M3, 330ci, Megane etc. Should get a good one for £3k+ from what I've seen, theres plenty knocking around at that price.

Really?! I had a look but couldn't find it? Will try again!

Got given some Angel Eyes last night....are they chav?! Found a bit of bubbling rust on the rear arch last night too that I missed like an idiot :( Will get it booked in to my bodyshop next week hopefully and get rid of it while it's only a small blemish. Not sure whether to go all out and get...

Thanks Dave. Gonna get all this bought next week hopefully and have a good crack with it!

Cheers Jay. Don't worry about the wheels!!!

Can you recommend one Dave? So process should be: Wash IronX Tar Remover Clay Polish Wax ?? Partybish - not too worried about the wheels as said, will be refurbing/buying new anyways.

Although actually I still have some clay at home, does it go off?! It's still sealed in the pack but has been kept under the carport for a year or so.

Right, had a good search around and was thinking of buying the following: I have plenty of microfibres, some SRP and some decent poor boys wax, was hoping this lot would cover the rest? Was planning on washing, ironX'ing, claying, SRP'ing, waxing, job done? Wheels I'm not too fussed about as...

Really not a fan of any chrome though...will see what they look like fitted and go from there. Englebert, does the plate holder just unscrew then? I don't really like the look of them to be honest.

Chris, they're OEM+ ;) CSL's will be a while really Rob, got a few minor plans to get sorted first, then the inspection 2. Plus I don't want to get everything done on the car in a few months and then not have anything to buy! I like tweaking cars so can't do it all at once!

Looks good Hughes! Love the colour, best one available by far! First mod was the Depo's. How anyone can say they aren't better is beyond me!! From: To: \ Hopefully the black grills will arrive before the weekend. Think I'll order 2 new rear tyres tonight too.

Rob, yeah it's awesome! Decided that having the extra seats was a lot easier, plus a lot cheaper so I can keep more cash in the bank for a rainy day. Move always wanted an M3, the z4 was just a passing fling!

Apparently that was the offer!
