srhutch said:Nice turn around so far. What wheels have you chucked on it as it doesn't look like those it came on.[/quote
The ones that came on the car are now on a VW T5 Campervan :wink:
so had to use a set of X6 19s temporary as they were the only set i had with tyres on
although as of 5 mins ago they are now these 108's ,
but they look like they need 20mm spacerseven more so when it gets dropped 30mm
Think ive been "converted" with my E85

ordered some. Thanks.
I am loving this.
A bona fide coupé fan converted, finally.
For me it's the noise, especially now. I'll never forget my first 'proper' pax ride in an M courtesy of srhutch. If I ever had any doubts about buying PVR's car they were annihilated by 4 hours of aural assault of the symphonic S54 variety. Can't help thinking that - in any variant - coupé drivers are missing out on something fundamentally awesome. Even Fast3000 said to me the other day that he winds both windows down whenever he can. The surround sound effect in a roadster cannot be beaten - fact, end of, period, full stop.
The car is looking ace Mr w... Get some 15mm spacers on the front and 20mm on the rear and she'll be looking really purty
By the seaside...

The porn on 48" must be a revelation ... :lol:
Good to hear your liking it Andy. The exhaust dose need a little noise letting out of it. You will appreciate it when you can drop the roof.
By the way Andy, the roof can go down - you just need to press and hold the roof open button - this will "unlock" the roof. Then open it up, and push down at the other end till it clicks into place. Then press and hold the open roof button again.
Putting it up is more difficult. I found it easiest to get out of the car, then hold the lock button on the key. This will unlock the roof again, at which point you can raise it back into position manually. Once it's pretty much there, it'll grab in and latch. Just make sure you hold the lock key down the whole time!
So you can experience wind in the hair motoring, it's just a little more involved at each end, but I was still having it down when I could.

Car is coming along nicely mate, re the wheels I've fallen in love with my 108s all over again since adding a set of 20mm spacers.
The only downside is that I experienced a fair bit of rubbing when I took it up to the Highlands last month, it's fine around town though. Think I'm going to have to look into getting the arches rolled as I really don't want to take them off!
