Just as i thought. Has probably got to the point where the car is so nice,you would be afraid to drive/leave it anywhere.

Time for a long over due update ,been busy on other cars so not had much time to myself ,as the weather has warmed up i have got cracking on it again,been looking at other cars which all seem to be coming with the rear diffusers lately and one that i have always loved is the e46 sport ,i thought i would try one into the rear bumper and see how it goes (if it dont work out no great fuss as its only a rear bumper),anyway i got a bm sport rear cover and diffuser for nothing off my mate in the bodyshop so thought i would give it a go.
Very rough cut out of both bumpers.

Dave just read aload of this and the work you have put in is stunning

Attention to detail is stunning I love the wheels and the red strip, the door handles and so many other bits i could go on for an hr.

Only thing i am not sure on is the Gear knob, looks stunning in the dark just not sure on the design. Will wait untill i see it in the flesh before i say yae or nae though.

Good to meet you Sunday Dave, cant wait to have a look over the car mate.
