24V Renshaw 0 Posted January 30, 2006 so you weren't tempted to go for flared arches then? Nope I like them as they are and don't need them flaring, plus I don't have the cash at the mo for "extras" :) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biggerbigben 0 Posted January 31, 2006 Paint is always very shiny when it comes straight out off the bodyshop. Once its had time to properly harden off it dulls down alot... Anyway, lets try and keep it out of the bodyshop for a while this time Jay.. :silly: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My paint is 4 years old and its never ever "dulled down" infact it got better the more I polished it. Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

s.g 0 Posted February 1, 2006 i went to see jays car last night as i missed it at e38 and all i can say is WOW. his car is just quality. every little detail has been looked at and refined so its like its come straight from the factory. every thing from the the engine bay to the interior sits perfect. then he was kind enough to take me for a drive and my god it pulls like a subaru turbo without the lag. ( and i know as i used to have one). the torque on the 4 motion is amazing and pulls really good. if any body has a chance to go and see this at any shows this year make sure you go its not to be missed. thanks very much jay for your hospitality and the experience and i will be in contact soon.

24V Renshaw 0 Posted February 13, 2006 I know one of the Mods offered to "clean up" my thread the other month but I can't remember who it was.
