Thanks everyone :D
Yes I'm on the kerb Mark - and no I'm not changing the A pillars, grilles have gone to silver though :wink: (and something else has changed for the eagle eyed :) )

Red & black to OEM BMW badge + centre caps? :oops:

yep :thumbsup:
 
Hi Colin. Your car looks great on the 224s, very classy. However, I equally like your contemporary black on red 'winter' look also. Nice to be able to change from one to the other. :thumbsup: Much prefer the original 'Blau und Weiß' roundels though. :wink:

Thanks Simon, yeah it was nice peeling off the black and red and getting the OEM BMW roundels back; goes much better with the silver and red.
Got a new pack of red and black decals ready for the winter though :wink:

They look brilliant Marlon. I must admit I would choose silver as my first choice rather than black. Although the black looks good.You are going to run out of ideas for improving this car soon. Then you'll have to sell it and start again. Let me know when you do!

Cheers fella, hope you're patient cos I'm keeping it forever :D
 
Yours and stigs hell rots do look good, not a colour I would have initially considered but if I was buying now I certainly would. You final run out of mods to do or is it a case of there's always something else.

Thanks Mack, I'd like to say I've finally completed all the mods I want. However, I've said that before - I thought the DLV back box was the last but then these wheels came up :oops: I honestly think that's it now :D

Is addictive isn't it. I promised the wife no modding when I bought mine. That lasted less than a week. The problem is there always seems to be something else just when you think your done!

I havent really, I think I have only ever posted one photo of mine and that was one my wife actually took in the lakes last year. I'm not the most photo orientated person. Although I did post a few of my interior when I carbon fibre wrapped it but that must be 20 months ago now.
Modwise, now there's a question. I have never made a list, probably because I would cry if I sat down and worked out how much I've spent! For sure the missus would kill me if she saw it aswell.
The main things that spring to mind are the M Sport Seats and Steering Wheel (replacing the royals one I had for 18 months).
Facelift headlights, side indicators and 4 clear spot rear lights. Clear rear brake light (now on number 3 long story)
fore mention interior carbon wrap.
ZHP.
15/20mm spacers (same as yours)
M Spec tyre sizes.
Retrofit cruise and cupholders. Stubby however I mainly run the whippy for better AM as Talksport is my radio station of choice.
Done a number of coding changing with a combo of Carly, INPA & ISTA.
Sprint Booster
MM exhaust tips, although I'm thinking of changing for the rolled type.
LED interior light bulbs.
Had Mike (DLV) relocate my roof motor a month or so ago, he's definitely got that down to fine art.
Trailing arm bushes replaced and limiter kit fitted ahead of suspension refresh
Parrot mki9100 with screen hidden in ashtray and remote mounted to cig lighter blank so I can remove it and shove it in the glovebox, pull the ashtray cover over and it look oem.
sound generator foams put back in (mine did have them in when I got it). What can I say I'm getting old!
B12 kit I've talked about for must be 9 months bought but not fitted.

I've probably forgot a few things and apart from the above the usual manitenance/repairs as well as things like vanos seals that most dont do etc.
To be honest if I knew when I bought it I would end up doing so much I probably would have started my own thread.

to do list
b12 kit fitted and aligned
sound deaden the doors.
recon the 107's
Slip diff.

and finally use the dodo juice supernatural hybrid wax I bought a while back.

Here's the only snaps I have of mine, not great photos I know.
