Fai+H777

Do it yourself: tape off surround. Wet sand (always gently) with 1200 grit. Clean. Wet sand with 2000 grit. Clean. Compound with buffer. Wipe clean with liquid wax. Polish with buffer. Wipe clean with liquid wax. Wax.

You can also re-clearcoat after the 2000grit, then use 2000grit to sand back the orange peel effect and get on to compound/polish/wax. Will come out like new.

Even if it comes to NZ, who would spend half mil on a BMW land yacht?

I have a facelift E66 and you'd be surprised at how nimble the handling is, though mine is the M-Sport package so the suspension is upgraded. Absolutely no body roll and holds like glue.

Its a non-sport model, but still an exellent price:

Does BS have a FB page?

Thanks guys, I just need to get a proper camera and stop using my phone...

I have some custom made carbon fibre eyelids on their way, I'm waiting to see how the grills tie in with them...

This is what they look like:

Someone was practically giving them away on Trademe. They had curb rash and the clear coat was peeling so I forked out 1,300 to get the curbage taken out, the lips polished, new paint and clear coat

I only just got home... Went to Sky city, lost $300 then drank my sorrows away

I forgot to apply tyre shine and my license plate frame is a bit weathered...

I'm cooking a feed so I decided to upload the pics now... They're still not the greatest quality as I used my N95 to take them.

The wheels were also waxed

Tommorrow I exceeded my bandwidth DL'ing movies so I'm on 56k speed at the moment

The life of a small dog that is... Some silly lady had her dog off its leash, I was reversing onto the jetty and she called it when it was on the other side of my car

I had a go as PS'ing a few pics, tell me what you think (photos taken after wash/prep/polish/wax).

I call this "Ghost in the Machine":

She looks clean!

I've seen worse, much worse...

She looks great, congrats. Yep those are style 5's.

If you guys want to read something intesting, read the question that some twat asked on my auction...

I sit somewhere in the middle when it comes to chrome, but things like the following examples are just wrong:

Chill out! What you want to do with your car is your own thing Whether you want to lower it ,put massive mags on or watever fact is most people grow out of it just like ive grown out of the chrome stage but for now been 20 i still aprecciate euros whether they are standard or not , you shouldnt label people and their taste.

Byron

By saying he shouldn't label people judged on his opinions is being just as critical as his perception of those who lower their cars on massive mirror balls...

I'm 21 and happy to say I've never been into the whole 'check my grill in my wheel' thing...

I hope you didnt have to go through to many deep puddles this week

For that very reason (to prevent hydrolock) I have a short ram intake with a carbon fiber heat shield

Sorry,OT but what are the two inlets,inside the main central duct in your bumper?

they lead to the twin surperchargers... ... ... They're brake cooling ducts. The ones on the outside lead to my intake

Yes I am, what is the width of the wheel 8.5 or 9.5

8.5

Are all 4 the same width or are they staggered ?
