So on saturday I suffered my first new BMW owner injury - Runflats...

Got a flat whilst doing some shopping in town. Called BMW to get a replacement done for monday and they quoted me £205 for 1 tyre!

After a bit of sulking followed by some internet searching, I managed to get one fitted yesterday at Kwik-Fit in Newmarket for the bargain price of £170 for the one corner...

Needless to say the new wheels I get for it will NOT be running run flats!

Boredom + stupidly large plate recess + pack of a million tiny stickers = this:

(sorry for naff photo's, im clearly not a photographer chap)

also ordered some carbon badges to replace the standard ones - only the rear one didn't fit so i've ordered another. So far have done the steering wheel and bonnet:

Next to do is get black kidney grills and maybe laminx the rears a slightly darker shade and start seriously thinking about new wheels.

On Friday I parked my car in a very overpriced 5 star hotel car park - on saturday morning, after being trapped in a car wash for 10 mins due to a random power cut, I noticed someone else in said hotel car park had decided to leave traces of their blue mk5 on my car - greeeaaaat - fortunately, I know Jay, and he knows how to polish. Thanks babe.

Weekend wasn't all bad though, once the hangover wore off and before Jay got down to my arch, we went for a "quick" trip to halfords in Newmarket which resulted in an hour long jaunt around Newmarket in the 650i - revving at ugly birds and flooring V8's through drive-thru winnings!

Also got the centre caps arriving early next week to finish it all off.

Depending on how generous I am feeling with myself at the weekend, I might do something about wheels, however I might not, who knows...

A new pony doesn't count as a legitimate update for a car build thread!

The End

Very Happy

Subject: Re: My new car - name TBA Fri Oct 22 2010, 08:09

I have 2 new ponies actually.

And I put a new air freshener in the car last weekend. Happy now?

Subject: Re: My new car - name TBA Sun Oct 31 2010, 17:45

So, a REAL update!

Today I've ordered some parts that should arrive by Wednesday to be fitted at the weekend... Just need to sort out wheels now to compliment them.

Subject: Re: My new car - name TBA Sun Oct 31 2010, 18:24

Lowerage?

Subject: Re: My new car - name TBA Sun Oct 31 2010, 21:34

Indeed, only a cheeky little drop though!

Sick. If it's under 60mm though I will verbally harass you Razz

Subject: Re: My new car - name TBA Tue Nov 02 2010, 12:45

Haha, you can verbally abuse all you want, but i'll always ignore you. The car is being lowered to stiffen it up a bit and handle a bit better and to accommodate new wheels in the new year.

Today I picked up Ant (Stampers) at silly-o'clock for Saturday and we headed up to Derbyshire - It was cold and there was still snow, which we got stuck in... f*****g northerners!

anyway, here are some pictures of my day:

It was clean when I set off, but this is how it was when we got back...:

Surprisingly spacious with the seats down:

The reason for the whole journey:

18x8 BMW MV3 wheels - I might paint them in the new year, I might not, who knows... I should be ordering new coilovers next week too - ooh, exciting.

I think you may have a stowaway in the form of a baby gator Razz

Looks good mate!

Subject: Re: My new car - name TBA Tue Dec 14 2010, 00:41

Very nice Jim, just a smidge lower and stance tweaked and that'll look spot on!

This should hopefully all be sorted by new years.
