Got a few things done today. Door handles were a bit crappy, so sanded them up and gave them a quick lick of paint. They could probably do with being powdercoated, but they'll do for now. Dried and fitted: Windscreen in: Chrome trim fitted:

So there's no soft-top in sight, but this s**t needs to be shared.

This. Although it would require quite a bit of bumper altering, it would be very cool. Are you not worried it'll look like a Z4M wannabe?

Octa-exhausts. ​HTH.

Chris! That's vile!

Oil on the road?

:( My E21 cries at the sight of those headlights.

:( Y O YYY :(

It wouldn't even look good for a minute. It's 877% Bradford.

FLOL! <3

This thread title is missing something, hmmmm, maybe: MY UR 200 - ERRYBODY LOOK AT IT!!! :quiet:

In the first one, the standard 182, did I see it passing an RS4 in the reflection?

Pink shed is pink. Needy thread is needy. ​Love you.

CS has sharks, you'll quickly get used it.

I did that, and it was dry, nothing happened, just flaked off? More oddly, the blistering has partly gone down when I checked it last night.

Good stuff, there's usually something going on in and around Manchester, so keep your eyes on the area section. We should be sorting a RR day soon, so it could be good to get your new 172 on a dyno, and see how it's running :)

Welcome along mate, good luck with your search. Where abouts in Manchester are you?

Yeah, the rear screen took some perseverance, the rest was reasonably okay, just a bit of a faff!

Aye I know, I wanted some advice from here so I wasn't going in blind, that's all. Fingers crossed the news is good :)

Very nice, love the colour.

Much as I'd like to, I feel if the paint had anything to do with Rhys, it would have been rollered on.

Left and right rear quarter. 40% of the roof. Small section on the bootlid behind the BMW badge. That's all I've found at the moment, naturally my concern is that is might come up elsewhere at a later date.

String to pull the seal in, and then the little bits that didn't quite come through, used a screwdriver. ​Very nearly put it through the rear screen! I do have a proper tool, but I couldn't work out how to use it, and impatience had settled in for the day, I wanted it done!

It's purely time, the amount of time and work I've already put in, I just can't take it all apart, it'd kill me! LOL

Haha! If you could see how tight they are. ​As I've just had something colourfully represented to me by Chris, they're "as tight as a Scottish man's wallet." Shouldn't be going anywhere.

My original target was about 3 1/2 weeks from now. That's gone, so now the new target is BMW Festival @ Gaydon, and Trax with CS. I'll probably keep going, get it driveable, then get him to spray it with most of the car finished, essentially a blow over. I'm not taking it all apart again.

Yeah it's relatively simple on older cars, I think newer, bonded glass is much harder to fit.

That's the rear quarter/bootlid to start with ;) I wouldn't know in all honesty, the depth and clarity in the flesh is fantastic, so I'd expect it's okay, it's probably the iPhone camera maybe? Anyway yeah, everyone keep everything crossed that it's solved without too much pain :)

​How so?

One step forward, two steps back :( He should be coming round in the next couple of days to have a look and decide what's going to happen next.
