Hey
Finally got round to getting some completed pics as it seems to have finally stopped snow/raining.
The hardtop hs been a god-send for the winter. A little quieter and no worries about the harsh effects of winter punishing the soft top.
I've also fitted the storm motorwerks gear knob.A very gratefully recieved xmas present from an understanding GF.
Great for a quicker shift and really improves the cabin from an aesthetic POV. 5* for the service from Bilal at Storm.
Thinking of looking into a slight exhaust tip change purely to improve looks. Essentially a single to a twin. It seems to be a twin protrution from the silencer melded into one.
Seems to be simple enough and thinking of heading to the rather apptly named 'Welsh Coast Customs'. Any feedback from the South Wales members?
Have many members tried this before? I've seem a member based in Greece ( i think) have this done but i haven't seen anyone from the UK.
One more Q. Would the exhaust mod effect warranty?
Thanks
Steve

A straight swap would have been a damn sight easier!

BMW Paintshop not necessarily the best .....I took my jet black 5 series in to Sytner Sheffield for accident repair and they painted the side carbon black, then tried to argue with me that the little metallic flakes I pointed out were only there because it was raining. They eventually had to take the car back in and respray it
