Today was SRP, EGP, AF Illusion day...

Just ignore the spidering alloy which is desperate for a refurb.

More like a spot paint filled and wet sanded bonnet with rashed bumper (considering an M sport front at some point as a new paint fix and update ).

Thanks Andy, not sure on miles, don't look, I'd guess at 33,000 ish...

Took it out for a run around Wilmslow/Hale this week as I had time off, was really nice to get the roof down and give it some noise.

I just love Black and most any dark color on a sports car. The one thing I am not crazy about on my car is the silver paint job, but, at half the price of a new E89 in choice of color, I should not complain....
