lol, I have no idea when it comes to BMW's! This was dropped off for a tidy up. The front end had recently had some work done to it by the good old BMW bodyshop! :rolleyes: No need for claying.
They very kindly left some paint defects & marring. So without being armed & ready with my Rotary...
Hi guys, well the plan was to buy some VMax Coilovers for the 1.2 but im just in the middle of buying & selling houses atm so money is tight.
My question is, is it possible to change the bits that are 52m to 58m for the cheaper coilovers? Or do what matie did with his beutiful dci rep &...
Few pics of Betty wearing chemical guys new lsp. Blacklight! Its awesome stuff, if your looking for that ultimate slick finish this stuff is the mutts nutts! :o
Outside pics were taken after an hours blast! Soo good to be back in her :D
:)
Alreet guys, gave Daisy a coat of SN Sunday & today she was washed with btbm & wiped down with Duragloss Gloss enhancer. Love her tbh! :D
Excuse the RDS :o
In regards to wheel alignment, camber, cost etc! I have no idea about this, Mike has kindly helped me but its all lost on me! :o I hope to be getting either FK or Vmax btw :)
Cheers
Did a few tidy up bits on Daily Daisy, removed the stickers (most) foamed, washed, clayed, cleansed, x2 coats of ice wax & z8. Alloys waxed with some old turtle wax stuff (good stuff actually!)
Then removed the rear wheels to paint the hubs, much better :approve: I will be getting some...
Hi guys, im not really sure where im going with the 1.2, im thinking of removing the rear seats & making an mdf floor as it would be alot easier when it comes to hauding my detailing kit about!
Im use to having just two seats :o
Any idea's?
Im really undecided what to go for! I have heard bad things about VMax coilovers! So, can we have pics of your non sports on coilovers stating which ones they are & also non sports on 60mm springs please?
Cheers guys :)
Hi, me again! :o
Right, trying to get coilies with 52m spacing is a right pita! The cheapest I have found is on ebay for £400 delivered. I really don't want to spend that much seens as she's the run about, but I can't seem to find an alternative.
The Vmax one's only go down to 60m on the...
Ok, trust mine to be 52m! Good job i checked as my bro had a quick look and said yeh its 58! :(
Where is the cheapest place to get them? Im not bothered about them being top spec, run around remember!
thanks :)
Hey guys, today I managed to get round to checking the bolt spacing which is 58mm. Now, do i get some Rokkor coilovers or just get some 60mm springs?
Whats the advantages of coilies over springs? Sorry if its a stupid question!
I don't want her sitting on her arse, im after a small gap...
Turtle wax Ice to be precise ;) Pleasantly surprised at the finish of it, gave her a coat Wens & quickly washed today.
Do you think I should remove the stickers? Any other suggestions for her? I do want her lower, i know that much! :o
:rasp:
I cannot bloody wait to clean the shed! I've only just managed to get her out the car park today, she was under much snow! At work today, i have brought in my new shampoo & wax to try! :D
I cannot wait! I was going to do it at 8am this morning, but i would get taken the pee out of! :o
I haven't actually confirmed the spacing is 52, I will as soon as I can. I have been searching on the web & haven't been able to find any, all for 58mm ?
I would have snapped up some Rokkor ones but they all seem to be 58mm too! Theres a set going on ebay (used) He said they are for 58mm but...
Alreet peeps, so I have taken the plunge & decided to get the vee's alloys refurbed at pristine alloys. I have never been so stressed getting her on those bloody axle stands! :eek: Its horrible! :(
So I have her on four axle stands, two trolly jacks, two clio jacks on the sills & four old...
Lol, this belongs to my work mate. You can tell he has typical aircraft mechanic mentality! :o oh, again no befores, sorry! Or in any particular order!
So, this one he wanted corrected, he doesn't know how to clean a car properly either! He uses fairy! Well, did!
Anyway, Pre wash, foam...
No befores as I always start early & couldn't be ar$ed!
BMW was just a tidy up, usual pre wash, foam, 2bm, clay, foam, 2bm, need for speed, colli 845 & Zaino Grand Finale. 3M tyre dressing, AG Fastglass & autosol.
I get to look after his old 911 & new BM ;)
Wrapped my spoiler, had a few problems with it! Ended up cutting the edges as i was going to bin the whole thing! lol. I want it done again, properly as i really like it! Roof too :) Any one is the SE area any good with wrap?
Clean :)
I get Betty back monday :D
Lol, may seem a silly question! :o Or is it totally pointless putting a bog standard 1.2 on track? I'd love to have a go! And no, im not using the vee so please don't question it!!!
Are these much cop? Also, is there anywhere cheaper i can get them? Or alternatives please?

Alright guys, I recieved some cf stuff from carbon modz so I decided to wrap my spoiler. I did It, but couldn't wrap it around the rear part so had to cut it short :dapprove: Looks really good though, im well pleased! :) Pics tomorrow!
Anyway, I need someone local to High Wycombe that can...
Alreet guys, wheres the cheapest place to buy this please? Looking at wrapping maybe wing mirrors, diamonds, spoiler & possibly roof! And any tips on fitting it!
