The Remus is now fitted!! So pleased with it. Sounds purposeful without being too big/loud. Posted elsewhere on here viewtopic.php?p=1994764#p1994764

Also want to sort the crease on the bottom section of the rear bumper which was there when we got it.
The little 'white peril' will look perfect then.

A question for Peter (B21); where did you get the rear diffusers from in your signature photos? I am wondering if that would be a less expensive option than a new OEM one (as all the used ones I've seen on the 'Bay have been a pile of crap). :thumbsup:
Pondrew did you get your 326s refurbed??

I did! Did them myself. I posted the results in Obewan's thread in the wheel section.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

So, of my list…
Polish and graphite wax done by DK Detailing (Huntingdon) see Facebook for Dan’s review
Original 326 Wheels by Wheel Genie (also Huntingdon)
Remus custom exhaust (bought from POTN and fitted by Motech (Wellingborough)
Steering wheel by Royal Steering Wheels (naturally)
Front bumper still to be looked at… probably a trip to Get Smart (St Neots)
Almost ready for Gaydon…

Oh and you can add:
Ditch the RFTs… finally justified to myself (and JL) that they need to go… ordered a set of standard profile Continental Sport Contact 7s which get fitted next week by Tyre Pros (courtesy of a deal on KwikFit website)

Next.. maybe a personalised ‘plate… 😉

There's a can of worms right there. Whatever you do don't advertise the fact. There are two distinct 'camps' for PPs
I am holding out for KN08 HED, which according to my wife, and no doubt most of the online community, would suit me perfectly.

I went with Adrian Flux after LV went silly after many years of being reasonable..

When I put the full m-performance bodykit on my 440 (front lip, side skirts, rear diffuser and boot spoiler), MPPSK kit (remap and exhaust), my insurers were absolutely fine and didn't charge me (apart from the admin fee for updating the policy.
I was with People's Choice, a division of Hastings (or could be Admiral I can't remember).
