  1. Fantastic advice! Should be sticky!! I’ll add a couple of quick tips. Windows come up amazing with just run of the mill glass cleaner and newspaper, news paper leaves no streaks. Be sure to do this before polishing and waxing as class cleaner takes wax off. Use a paint brush to remove dirt and dust from air vents and joins before vacuuming. Oh, and when I clay bar I use soapy water instead of quick detailer as you need a lot of lubrication and detailer isn’t cheap, does the same thing. As said make sure you re-clean as much as possible (when needed) with a clean mitt and some quick detailer as it will keep it looking good and prevent you from having to do this strenuous job again in a couple of months.
  2. Sorry, back for seconds. We are finally selling "ASASN", after a year of fun! Is this car famous or have the local Kebab shop owners been waiting for this to come up for sale?? she also comes with Angel lights front and back!! bonus! Im guessing Angel lights are the shiny $2 jewellery attached front and rear.
  3. haha I offered a genuine MOMO Boss kit less than 8 months ago and you turned it down The ones at Repco are not even close to what you need I found this out the hard way too.
  4. He has his rear fogs on. I hate that.
  5. The GTR actually has a 180 speedo.
  6. Not even these two could decipher that! Does your car have overdrive? 160 does seem a bit weak, it should do at least 170.

    Painting

    Ok, seems as none has replied I’ll give my amature car detailer findings I painted all the black on my Corolla (there was a lot) with bumper black and all I did is give it a bloody good clean before hand, I went through a few cans and found the trick was to spray it from a distance with multiple thin coats letting each coat dry before applying another. Se image for results. When fitting a lower front lip spoiler (fibreglass) I primered it twice before painting and the result wasn’t as good as the bumpers and skirts. My advice is to skip the primer on plastics. The window trims were painted when the car was re sprayed so can’t offer advice there but im pretty muck sure a primer should be used on steel.
  8. Yea I reckon.. You tell him! feel stink!!!!!!!!!! Buurrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnnn.

    New Z4

    Thought this might be more you Simon
  10. Flying Motorcycle Bear for the win!
  11. That’s just the new Fox intake kit from K&N, 15hp gain apparently! All bullshit aside that is quite remarkable how it ended up there, and if the car was still drivable you could roast it on the way home!

    New Z4

    They will have the 3.0l in Manual though... and maybe a M. On an unrelated note, I read that all next gen M cars will be Turbo, the new M-X6 will have a 500BHP version of the 4.4TT! Mercedes will to be going Turbo with ALL their cars over the next couple of years.
  13. Found a reason to like BOV… dos dos
  14. Cool, thanks for the info. So you order the parts though BMW and get them fitted?? I-Drive is a must have for me, wouldn’t buy a new BMW without it! Such a awesome system.

    New Z4

    I like it, I wouldn’t have one for myself but can see it would be attractive to women and guys that are like women. The standard Drive Dynamic Control function is another first and allows the driver to alter, depending on model specification, the throttle and steering response, level of ride comfort, Dynamic Stability Control response and, on automatic or Double Clutch Transmission cars, gear change times. My 06 Opel Astra SRI-T had a Sport button that sharpened steering and throttle response, hardened the dampers and raised the stability control threshold..I had a Manual so the shift times were controlled by me. Makes me laugh when big manufacturers claim they have done something first when they clearly haven’t. FAIL BMW.
  16. Didn’t know speakers were made for looking at Bravo Fair call though, I have a mate slowly glassing me some speaker pods where the cubby hole is.
  17. My advice would be to put larger speakers in the door if you want to upgrade, the standard location is crap. Hard to seal and as said if you are running decent speakers (even stock size 5.25) the magnets wont clear the steel or the door light switches. If you’re looking for a simple upgrade make sure the magnets aren’t large on the replacements.
  18. Now now, the seven has its place, if it wasn’t for the seven and its very rich owners (when new, not you dreamers ) the smaller models wouldn’t have half the bells and whistles. An ancient 2002 7 series still has more tech than most new 3 series. I was looking for a nice picture of a Black E32 slammed on 17†BBS splits.. would be a good look IMO.
  19. Easy, that’s not matt black, its Saturn black.
  20. Test drove a M3 CSL!!! Who let you test drive one and will they let me drive it?? Hahahha M3 Mondeo like, you shore it wasn’t a rebadged 320i because the last M3 I drove was far from Mondeo like it screamed like ban saw, even the 330i is far superior in terms of steering and chassis balance To be honest it would be hard to comment on a car after only a test drive, you really need a day or so out on some nice back roads. The first M3 I drove was around town and it didn’t feel anything special, it was downright annoying in fact as its clutch was very heavy and buttony but once out in the wops it all become clear.
  21. Now is when I insert comment about owning an e30 and maintain her to her original glory… all the wax in the world can’t hide her tired running gear!!
  22. A picture would be nice… If she is fantastic looking and keeps the house clean and looks after the kids how could you go wrong. Plus she does Yoga
