  1. Well not updated since purchase, but have been putting it into this *BLOG* Some good news though. I turned 17 on Monday 29th March, and Tuesday 30th March I passed my Theory Test Anyway, for the record, hes been washed, I replaced the bootlock for a one in better condition, I fitted my fuse box and washer bottle lid that I had from previous projects (sprayed gunmetal to look a bit smarter) and also sprayed the cam cover and manifold heatshield so it looks smart. I hate the look of the manifold underneath so will keep the fresh look for a while before I have enough money to splash out on an OBX 4-2-1 mani. Pictures speak more than a thousand words : Added my Optional Headlamp Protectors Some clean sexy shots Bootlock before Bootlock after Sprayed cam cover and heat shield, aswell as adding my wristband to act as a reservoir cover... And an arty shot of the floormats that are unbelievably mint! These are now stored underneath the boot matt, so they can keep clean, il continue using the shit-taking matts. Thats it for Rhys for the mo
  2. Was gonna say its your bumper... got the grased bit near the top grille. If he bought the bumper the plate shouldn't have even been on it. Did you sell the bumper?

    Not being funny, but if that was me, i'd take it back to BMW and say "you know damn well the car is un-insurable, so do something about it you money grabbing, tight fisted bar stands!"
  4. When you jump out of the car and slowly direct the driver of your car over speedbumps not only to check if it clears, but to boast about how close it was.
  5. I like your thinking mate, will mock one up tomorrow
  6. I went in 2007, year of the floods, by god that was an eventful trip! Great weekend even though it was washed out!
  7. Were another day older mate Have a good'n.
  8. My god I tried 7 times to read this sentance to my mum... I just couldn't make it past ass clench without cracking up! I read this before two years ago, yet it still gets me!
  9. I'm a cashier in Wilkinsons
  10. I like to be different but... I'm agreeing with everyone here. Sorry bro, the front lip doesn't cut it. But, seeings as this is my first post in this thread, i'd like to give you a pat on the back for being different. It looks great with the 98spec moulded into the top of an N/A bumper! Its coming on nicely, but as everyone else has said, lose the wheels, go JDM.
  11. Got L plates, not gonna insure or go out with mum - as mum will NOT go out in it with me
  12. @ Ste, 17 on monday bro @ Stevo, plan is first to get insurance paid for etc... gonna be anal shafting but.. oh well. Yeah will in time get that, for now gonna just smarten the engine bay with a coating of some silver paint as done with the Galliano, smartens it up and makes it look new. Anyways, added two new touches today, one I didn't get a shot of as my girlfriend was looking around the car at the time, but thats the headlight protectors - just to be safe! The other is the glovebox thats lined with sub carpet. Took me around 10 mins to swap over. Now it doesn't sound tinny when you put things in it
  13. Tell you what guys, whipped out the floor matts to see the condition of the original Paseo matts... IMMACULATE. Not a mark on the drivers side! Stunned with how clean they are! Been out in the trickling rain this afternoon and given Rhys a bath, looks lovely now, the exhaust is shiney and so are the door shuts. First things to do are spray the spare cam cover to smarten the engine bay. Might need some gorgeous weather again soon, need to polish it thoroughly and make sure the faint black watermarks are gone, don't like those much at all! Need a CD player with iPod connection (well.. USB port) and then just drive it
  14. If I do get the leathers fitted... and if I prefer the leathers.. wanna buy it back? No saying I will like the leathers though..
  15. I paid £1500 and £50 for Mikey to deliver and get the train home - which was agreed after he booked a work shift for the day I was collecting the car. Its a fair price considering its full optional, immaculate, low miles AND modifications. Ste, no. Will be looking after her, though my god she sounds lovely at 3.5-4k Shall be erecting over that soon.
  16. be right back, gonna go disinfect my interior. @ Amjad. Yeah mileage is amazingly low, one of the lowest I know of at the moment. Shant be going over 60 any time in the next 3/4 years I tell you that
  17. I still have a huge grin on my face! The exhaust is slightly louder than I expected but I can certainly live with it. If mum had given it a blast up a dual carridgeway taking it through the gears, i'm sure I could have had an erection, it sounds great around 3k +.. just not been further than 4/4.5k yet.
  18. Some of you may recognise this little beauty, which was kindly delivered to my house today. Chuffed to bits with it, really have a huge grin on my face.

  19. Still wanna go check this out, give it a test drive for the sake of it being a cab! Would buy it and fix it too if it wasn't something like structural damage.
  20. Looking great mate! Really set it off!
  21. Great work as usual Jay, looks like a monday session at the workshop with college
  22. Most likely moved over here and brought the car with them. Speak to him, when he speaks like an import, hes an import.
  23. Moonlight model, from either Germany or Holland, one or the other Tis a limited model, I believe Moonlight is explained by having a sun/moon roof
  24. If I had a spare £2500...
