Fitted front splitter today (thanks ken for ripping me off

) and did a quick detail on the front wings and bonnet (used clay block, chemical guy all in one polish and 2 layers of petes 53 wax...)
I found the clayblock excellent as there were tonnes of contaminents on the paint work! car is def giving off a better shine...edit must buy a decent camera and find a better place to take pics

Other mods include replica m3 mirrors (big thanks to ken and dave for them) and german style plates with surrounds..oh and clubsport gearknob which is an excellent mod!

I got mine secondhand over 2 years ago but you can buy directly from Supersprint- think they're around 500 quid.....

Much lighter than standard exhaust, has a lovely rasp that's not much louder than stock too! You'll need to either cut the diffuser or buy a mtec diffuser which is designed for a twin exhaust!

Completely forgot to update this thread! A certain car came up for sale that I just couldn't ignore, so the iS had to go

Austin purchased it, then sold it on to another member today (KieranB) but glad it's still in the bmw family

One last pic of it:

And a link to my new motor!

There was two Irish cars on that page. Had a quick read of it as I picked up my copy of Total BMW. Not a fan of Performance BMW TBH.

Ah, it's only a small paragraph but glad it made the issue anyway

Only realising now that the 4 door iS is an Irish car

I also prefer total bmw- more diys etc
