2x plates Plain black with "raw metal" text (as in unpainted, not chrome) BBS436

So 8 confirmed and we do it? I'm in for 1 set if you go ahead.

Damn - saw you post and got my hopes up! Definitely keen when you do the next order.

Unfortunately not getting 'til Tuesday

? and thanks.

Thanks mate Hope you're enjoying the E39.

Yeah mate sure was. It's in Auckland and the only Estoril blue - only other blue was a Topaz down south with 150,000+ kms

Do it

Do like the Eisenmann too - Interestingly, Dad has one on his 996TT. Sounds brilliant. We'll see where I end up further down the line...

This vid has sold me on a Supersprint exhaust.

I'm by Mission bay Right, 30% - Cheers! And thank you. Have you found your next car yet?

Loads of DIYs but don't know if I have the time, patience, or skill to do it. Yeah - not cheap. Do you know what % reduction the SSK is? Where are you located? Auckland?

Hey mate Just wondering if you know what % your tints are?

Just out of personal curiosity, sorry. Nothing to do with uni - I've updated the first post. Is that satisfactory or is there something else I should have in there?

KW V2; did you source them locally or buy from US? Install yourself or get a shop to? I'm pretty set on them. How have you found the short shifter in the car? Definitely keen for some pics!

Pretty much as in the title. I'm curious about peoples' opinions on - Purely out of curiosity from watching TV and thinking about the ads.

1) E46 M3 CSL (have to agree with you there) 2) E39 M5 (I have a soft spot for these) 3) E38 7 M/s (don't know why, just always liked the lines)

Thanks Tom! I'll definitely take that on board! Thanks for the kind words. My only gripe (and its pretty minor) is the interior isn't black but I'll be taking care of that at some point. In the meantime the seats will get a refurbishment when I can afford it and have the time. More pics to come Monday, sadly Planning to do shoot before I give it a good grooming and afterwards too as I want comparison photos after it's clay-barred and waxed. Going to go out at buy some Meguiar's Tech 2.0 today at Julian's recommendation. Don't worry mate, girlfriend wouldn't go near it if it were that low Planning for subtle mods like in the lower photo. And thanks very much. Whenever something came up for sale that I liked I still hadn't sold my 5; and then the car I liked would sell. Always told myself the right car would come along and by chance Arma bought my car and this still hadn't sold!

Especially with a bent-edges euro plate

Got in at the right time! I'm hoping to be able to buy a house next year or the year after ...

Matt's M3? The steel grey one? Ahh beauty! I was super keen on it but my 5 hadn't sold yet It's a gorgeous example, already had the Apex wheels and an AutoSolutions SSK in it IIRC. Will definitely let you know regarding the boot lid (sharing the shipping expense should probably save some $) EDIT: Something always comes up - Can't pick up the car 'til Tuesday. <_< <_<

I noticed as soon as I had the euro on my old car that the car looked much wider but this was only when it had a euro plate on the rear.

Seen drphta's car - always thought it looked good, never made the connection in colour. It's been on TradeMe for the 1.5-2 months mate I haven't really missed any of the ones going up; gotta love the daily updates haha Laguna seca is dope. Years ago when I was much younger I drooled over one in the Team McMillan Used Cars showroom. I still see it around Auckland every now and then. Thanks Lucan Yeah, I love the Hamann lip ... :wub:

Thanks man, I've seen barely any in this colour (wondering how many NZ New Estorils in the country) Apparently it was an M3 only colour option but if you had some "influence" the dealer put it on non-M3/M(?) cars. Definitely more pics and updates to come but travelling a lot this year so barely anything left over for non-vital updates!

I bought a euro lid off Brent (obviously easier when its separate to the car) but Hauraki Panel & Paint on the Strand, Parnell swapped 'em over for $50 or something (incl. spoiler) They've always been excellent and very competitive quotes!
