Looks great and those cross spokes are rather sweet looking too.

A fine car though. 8)

Red panel went about 1 week after I got the car, wheels were a bit of a mission to track down in the right offset in the UK and to find them fresh from a refurb was a bonus.

Think yours is quite a bit darker, as far as I know mine is an E46 colour, with a ton of pearl in it...Imperial blue? Something blue, but its purple. Oh the irony. Nice car though mate, its looking much better now you've got your hands on it!

Hey dude, that car is looking great! Awesome colour too!

Where did you get the centre caps for your mims? Been looking for some that'd fit mine for ages.

Also, loving that interior. I've got a beige standard interior, but have been on the lookout for beige recaro's for ages now! If you ever wanna sell give a brother the hook up! :lol:

Centre caps i'm not too sure on mate, but personally I would advise just going to see your local reputable sign writer and get them made, thats what i'm doing for the BBS's now since they done seem to make them anymore. I do love the cream leather. Had leather put in my old 323i but it wasn't a nice job like this.

Will be well up for ACE meet, just gotta find someone stupid enough to insure me! lol. Soon.,

Mate put it on classic car insurance, I'm paying something stupid like £98 for a year fully comp, a lot of guys on the forum do the same too.

Heritage is a good bet, also check out Norton Insurance. I guarantee you'll get a classic car policy on that bad boy for around a oner.

Is everyone insured clkassic/modified? I am having problems because my old man stitched me up with 3 points and a claim that weren't mine ( I hate my old man) but I didn't know until I got letters saying I had failed to attend court! So my licence is a bit of a mess. Plus only 24. And most policys want 25+.
Anyone know a good classic company for under 25, with claim, with conviction, and a modified car? lol
