Yup, its government regulation stupidity at its finest. If you're not smart enough to understand airbags, then your attention span isn't going to survive through a complex warning sticker. Removing them from non-fabric visors takes less than 15 minutes with rubbing alcohol and paper towels. It's such a silly miss for someone who obviously spent months on this car.

A sheep in wolves clothing for sure without 6 cylinders.
Extraordinary looking bit of kit though IMHO.
But then there's the rear wing..... I'm sure that there'll be a happier medium available somewhere for the new owner.

I see it has your white roll bar hoop covers Rick! They look great. By the way, I'd have those seats in mine in a second. You reckon they are just re-trimmed standard M-Sport seats?Zed Baron wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 3:12 am This is a showcar which has been done to a very high standard.

Probably too shocking for here, even spinning wheel centres are too shocking for here!

It is a UK car. At least it's RHD and being sold in the UK
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Great minds.....oh no hang on it's me so maybe not!
That car is actually extremely good value for money when you think of the amount of money that's been spent on it. It's also a really late model with ultra low mileage. It would make a great marketing tool for someone, if nothing else.
How about we buy it as a "forum car", all chip in a certain amount and use it to advertise the good work that the forum does?

I reckon they’re just re-trimmed standard seats, not even MSport. Bases are too flat and the side bolsters not prominent enough to be MSport imo
G29 M40i Thundernight with Ivory interior, all option packs (here for a while, hopefully )
G29 M40i Misano Blue all option packs (Gone 26k of fun)
E89 35iS, Valencia Orange, Design Pure Traction pack (Gone)
E89 23i sDrive, Silver (Gone)
