Found this on pistonheads in february to replace my graphite one i bought it and went to

scotland to collect it with my dad in early march

We drove it home 470miles and it was great especialy for an auto wich id never driven before.

nice car. Didnt this belong to a forum member in birmigham. A mate of mobsters.
Or am i confusing both cars

Yup same car. I think he did alot of good work restoring that car to a very high standard. He sold it as he wanted a manual. I supplied quite a few parts for this car incl the front spoiler, motorsport steering etc

I love gold e21's such a nice retro colour. Can't believe they're the same wheels, look the business.

Oh dear. You're going to have to explain the Coke and Tin Foil technique now - very intrigued!

ha ha i know it sounds weird. i tried a few wheel cleaners and they wouldnt
shift the black corrosion marks from the lips. i saw it on mythbusters once
so thought id give it a go, just screwed up tinfoil dipped in coke i gave it a
rub and hey presto cleaned them up lovely
