DarinD 8 Report post Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) Hey guys and girls! Finally managed to get some decent pictures of the ride. Well more I needed pics of the Mini and just took the BMW along Things I have done so far: * New BMW Badges * Shaved the 323i badge * Tidied up the paint * New bootlid (old one was full of dents) (Thanks Ray!) * Halos fitted (Thanks curryinahurry!) * 35% tints (Unique Tints) * Meguiars Clay, Polish and Wax. And probably a lot of other things I cant remember, bits and bobs. Apologies for the abundance of photos, I got carried away And im sure it will be fine but if I resized the pictures wrong, be patient with me Im still learning and I will redo them! Anyways here are the pics. Edited May 15, 2013 by Darin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed! Any idea where I could score one? I live in Blockhouse Bay. She doesnt get used much nowadays though Edit: I managed to score a motorsport lip of Ray. More pics to come after I attach it!

DarinD 8 Report post Posted April 13, 2011 meeeeaaan i think this may have been on sale when i was buying my e36 a couple of years back ... all the specs look the same. Possibly... It has only had two owners in NZ before me and the previous owner owned her about a year and a bit prior. No offence to the previous owner but it was in a mess when I bought it. Beer bottles/cans to coke stains! However I cant complain as I got it at a steal because of this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want it to be flush, and I know not everyone is going to like that. My leather needed a good steam clean and it came up good bar a bit of wear on the driver seat bolster, no biggie.

You've got a nice car there ^ +1 well done fella. Thanks gentlemen! As soon as I saw it on trademe I knew it had potential even though it was a mess at the time. Still needs a manual conversion but that can wait until I manage to score a full time job Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
