Festive Makeover

  • Hi all & Happy New Year :D:D


    Some would say, and I totally agree, that we should all treat our ladies over the festive season and living in Hong Kong does not allow an exception. So I decided to treat my good lady to a makeover.


    Now. after being away for ten days, my car has finally come back to me.


    In summary:


    1 Full respray of the rear end :oops: (Even the reverse sensors couldn't pick up the 12" square concrete block someone built at the back offside of a parking sapce in a public carpark :twisted: )
    2 Full front end and bonnet rebuffed and polished :D
    3 Road wheels totally refinished, resprayed and polished :D
    4 Full valet job inside and out :D
    5 Heap of interior trim parts to be fitted (not all arrived yet so will be a New Year present) :D
    6 Lots of little incidentals such as brand new AC wheel caps, BBS lock bolts etc. just to finish the job off properly. :lol:


    Couple of photos are attached, more are in my gallery should anyone wish to have a look.


    Cheers to all and best wishes for 2006

    P.S. The wife didn't seem too impressed with her e-Christmas card, despite the fact her present was to give her 325i a full road test for ten days to ensure it didn't have any problems during its annual test which is due soon (July I think). What more do they want ? :?


    P.P.S. Did I forget to mention the new chip I fitted? 8)

  • Thanks for that Les,


    Agree that a "drop" would finish it off nicely. :D It is being considered once I can cut down my working mileage.


    As an example, I go through a set of horns a year through scraping them to bits in the shoddy car parks over here :x , so at the moment the height is a forced necessity. :(


    Thanks again

  • Five Star results Keith


    Well done, she 's looking HOT ...Cant wait to see the new paintjob one weekend....fantastic :lol:
    Looks like a different car.
    I am lowering mine now with H&R - Bilstein combo and reckon yours will look great dropped slightly .......... 8)

  • Agreed that it looks great!


    Definately needs dumping by about 25 to 30mm. The horns on mine were a problem till I bent the brackets up.


    And as for a rebellious wife ..damn....they just won't do what they are told. Mine even refused to get up the ladder to clean the spoutings out!


    Cheers

  • Thanks for the feedback everyone, very much appreciated. :D


    You have all got me thinking now i.e. should I drop it?


    I have just about talked myself into it :wink: but I am not sure which route to take. Therefore, I have started a new thread on this to seek your advice :D


    Cheers
