Thanks Si :)

I love it but I have to say it lowers ground clearance quite a lot even on the standard sport suspension.

Can't wait for the run by the way! :driving:

Since you guys like photos, thought I'd share some of my previous car - an e92 335i

After a painstaking but therapeutic detailing session with help from a friend

Glossy, shiny goodness at the best car wash / detailing place in Ireland that sadly no longer exists :(

I see your at the North Wales meet so I will have to come and have a good nosey at the car to see if I made the right decision!
Hi Adam, please do come and say hi, you're more than welcome to have a good look at it :) Any photos of the car you ended up going for?
Not managed to get her out to any nice locations yet to get some decent shots, but some attached on the drive/car park.

Aero kit etc really makes the car, to be honest, I think I'd have bought either If id have seen yours, it was just simply i saw this one first and wanted it!
