Yes indeed. Hand applied triple very thoroughly and then finis over the top. Amazed.

@gally I finally used that wax you recommended over a layer of triple on the tank of my new bike, properly impressed. The pair together left the tank looking amazing.

I wouldn't bother with the roof, at all. If you damage the roof skin even slightly it'll but the s**t out of you every time you walk up to the car. Not worth it for the weight equivlant of one big s**t.

Just clean the tdc first, don't do anything else. If it starts it's likely to need changing. They generally respond to being taken out and cleaned for the first few weeks. Another way to check is if you leave it in gear and rock it back and forth a bit, then try and start.

Sharking had to be efficient back then! If you couldn't give her one after 10 messages you had to wait a day to try again.

Jesus. You know they do entire handset replacement for a fee though right? Which is less than that?

Who from? God himself? Considering they'll change the whole handset out for £140 iirc that seems a bit implausible.

Yep one of these for me too. PAYG baby. Then, after only a matter of weeks, some scrote stole it whilst it was in my bag which was acting as a goal post. So I got a replacement: Which my mum got for me on contract because I couldn't afford another phone but my paper round could afford the...

At least it's a cheap and easy fix mate, I'd rather replace a wheel/tyre than have some bodywork done!

What a massive SOB. Stupid bloody design!

Finally, what was the solution?!?

Take a photo of it with the carbon ones on, fit the blue ones and take the same photo.. you'll see I'm right.

Change your mirror caps back! It hurts my feelings! :p

Shame you did the wing mirrors, huge shame, the rest looks OK, some of it's a bit much for me! How much was dipping that lot? Bloody fortunes?

As long as you keep the originals, go for the avant's. Can track it on those with no worries, and then come to sale time refit the OEM.

It's at fairly strong money for the age/mileage, but it's a good car to someone who wants to buy one and make the upgrades that most "car people" make. To be honest, I may even remove it from sale because I've just bought a new bike, so I don't need a new car for a while.

Thanks mate! Quick pic from yesterday post wash:

Henk really does come across as a royal c**t. Avoid at all costs IMO. Too much money to potentially lose for using the bloody cowboy

Mental. Did it really need it!??!?

That's mental. Proper wicked.

She's trying to be polite. What she really meant above.

And take off the 116 badge too.

Don't worry about that, just see how many miles you can put on the courtesy. Or if you can go through a full set of tyres in 2000 miles or something.

Did your car recently develop 8 wheels? How much ffs? Glad you've found the issue finally. What a pain in the c**k.

That's almost identical to the wheel I had done for the z4, best thing I've done in the car I think, well, that and the seats.

Nice looking car. As for the track days, just book one, don't be a hero on your first few laps and concentrate on your lines. Make sure you're rocking decent brakes, new-ish fluid and some half decent tyres or it'll not be half as fun.

That looks bloody superb. I know you've said it, but considering what you've spent it'll cost pennies, get the steering wheel to Jack at Royal steering wheels!!! It'll make such an improvement.

Interesting seeing the colours next to eachother, in my head they're far more different than they look in the pics!

I can't help, but I'm sorry to hear this car is being a prick. Looked a proper good'un.

I love that, I'd have no use for it, but it's awesome in a proper car nerd kind of way.
