Id rather sell you one of my children?
Cheers Mark.
Sweet as a nut. Love it. Photos that do it justice AND a nice set of mats, too - win, win!
Only used the camera about 6 times now so still learning.
Thanks Andy, looking forward to seeing yours.

A few more pictures from today.
Started to go over the paint with my DA and the AF 3 stage polishing kit that they sell.
After that then i have been using AF tough prep then tough coat. Once that's done then the car will be getting a coat of Carbon wax.
Water beading after AF polishing.

Ay up it's MINT ( no northern accents )
seriously cannot get on with the 3 stage AF kit, to dusty and not enough work time for my like'n
saying that, my dci being resprayed is allot harder than standard paint.
cant but help thinking black turret top covers will finish it off !

Thank you chaps for the comments.
So, ive finished giving the front end its coat of AF Tough coat and and nice wax up with Carbon. Looks amazing in the sunshine.
Took a quick few shots of the car, they haven't come out that well but you get the idea.

How you finding the bilsteins?
Need to see this now its actually back on the road.
Would look awesome with some nice shiney calipers under those wheels
Sunday....? North Weald ?
Don't think I could have sliver alloy calipers dude, the brake dust would drive me mental.Need to see this now its actually back on the road.

I'll probably end up buying the 295mm Wilwood kit with the 2 peice disc's that Jam sport sell.
But I will look into what other kits Hi Spec sell when I've got some more cash.
If the weather's like it is today then it will be great matey.
I love them mate, perfect set up for the road and a quality bit of kit.
Only if it's not raining or the roads arnt wet.
Thanks Martin, tbh ive never been happy with the wheel's, they are dry in place's.
They also have a few chips/mark's in them now.
They where done about 3 years ago by Spit & Polish. I have another set which ill be getting done before CSS.
I think I'll be using JP polishing in Essex or BJV but ill look into it when I've got some spare time.

They look like they've literally just been done!!
Had some done at S&P myself. Came out very nicely. Never had wheels powdercoated before this though, so was surprised when I saw the 'machine resting' marks on the inside of the wheel and had to confirm with Kelv if it was normal or not lol

BJV - Thats the other place i was thinking of when you was on the phone to you but couldn't remember the name
Looking at yours makes me want to lower mine on the front slightly.
Just be wary with the Wilwood kit Scott as it does discolour over time to a slightly purple colour.

Bloody love this car. Out of interest, how much would someone have to offer to make you part with it?

Yes I know mate, ill look into it when im ready.
That doesn't bother me to much if im honest, it's seeing them dirty that does.
It would have to be a bloody big offer mate.
It's not about the money but my time over the year's (almost 5) of owning it that ive put into the car, it's part of the family.
I couldn't just sell it to anyone, the new owner would have to be vetted. Lol
Tbh ive spent thousands on it over the last 6 month's so I need to get some enjoyment out of it first before I would even consider selling it.
Also if I was to sell it then what would I buy next, whatever it was would probably mean me getting a bank load/finance which for a "toy" and something that only gets used for 3k miles per year seems pointless.
Although saying that id like a scooby, something bigger with boost that we could all go out in as a family alot easier that all being squashed in the Clio.
It would be a sad day if the time comes.

Yes I guess it has mate, but not if the owner doesn't need the money so much.
I'm far to attached to the car to let it go just yet.
I sent the front ABS cable brackets away to be powder coated as the Bilsteins don't come with any.

Only one thing I'm not 100% on, the RS badge on the front. Cant make my mind up whether I really like it, or really don't!
BMW M4; S1000 RR
RS badge looks good, that is a fecking clean Ph1!
Makes me want to spend some money on my exterior!!

Cheers Ry, far enough matey.
Thanks Jeff, i think the RS badge is a nice little touch.
So after being caught out in the rain a few times i thought id take the wheels off to give the arches a clean.
I also need to fit the ABS cable brackets.
1st up was to give the arch a wash down with AF Verso then i gave the calipers a going over with Wonder Wheels Hot Wheels.

Lots better.

Next up was the wheels, again AF verso and a soft brush. Once dry i gave them a coat of AF Mint rims inside and out.

Oh I couldn't see the lower bolt in your pic
I thought camber bolts were meant to go on the lower fixing.
Looking very nice and tidy under there though!!
Silver calipers and wheels cleaned up lovely too.
The stance looks perfect on yours. I'm thinking 25mm (which is what's needed for the Brembo kits) would be tooooo much. H&R all the way though.
