Apparently its an incredibly thin veneer of wood thats stuck onto plastic trim & lacquered ...
Did you rip out the 2 cylinders that appear to be missing from your engine bay as well?
:kissingheart:
Christ no. That wrapped carbon sh1t is even worse than my plastic wood lol.
I just didnt like...
Fitted some wood a couple of days ago, absolutely hate the silver stuff (& its in rather poor condition) ...

I bought this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAINTED-COLOR-E92-BMW-2DR-COUPE-M3-LOOK-TRUNK-REAR-SPOILER-300-WHITE-335i-/371859375724

Lip spoiler fitted, although the pictures are fairly bad so it doesn't really show it 😂
Would take another one now, but...
It is, but i cant justify it with all the other things that i need money for at the moment ... weddings in the Maldives aren't cheap 😂
Nah, f*ck that, Porsche is mega.
Mini is being collected on Sunday :up:
My theory is always that if you can drive fast & hone your skill on T1R’s (or similar), you always run rings around everyone who has “grown up on R888s” when you progress to a stickier tyre.
Less grip also allows you to find the weak point in a chassis (& driver) far easier. As an aside, its...
