so you put hands in at the top half and lift slightly then pull out at the bottom and the top will come out at the same time.
no screws

The 3.0 came with silver inners. Everything else had black I believe. The silver was meant to show off the 3.0 from the rest I imagine, but then the M came along and had black so who knows.

I've put black on my 3.0, purely because they look better with the black paint. I've also taken the badges off the sides, frankly I don't care if anyone thinks it's a smaller engine etc.

When you are 71 you will reach the mental age of 12, or so my wife tells me. You will love cars that are modern, fast and crackle and pop on every gear change. You will corner at speed on the edge of adhesion and feel completely in control. You will also look forward to the next 32 years.

Oh I wouldn't say I'm mature, people still know its a 6 pot from the lovely rumble and snap crackle and pop on the overrun thanks to the modded back box, and the induction roar in the cabin of course!

And the occasional sideways departure from a side road.... accidentally of course!
