Fitted front splitter today (thanks ken for ripping me off:D ) 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!

For some reason the car seems more responsive when i connected the battery back-any reason why this is? is it possible that i was driving in granny mode beforehand? :eek: anyway here's a few pics.
The ECU will have reset itself, it learns your driving style and now its forgotten it always feels more responsive.

I think so too...those were already on the car, couldn't justify €180 on them so bought window seals instead :cool:
paint finish looks fantastic man, well done.

Thats a real clean E36!!
I just found an engineering shop which modify the m44 to 250 bhp with NO forced induction, I dare ya :D

Id prob be able to get a clean m3 for the cost though :)
yeah..... something like $7000. But could be ideal for a lightweight track car!
great job.. must get you over to do mine soon! :)
Thanks lads! I'll be doing my second detail sometime next week and hopefully i'll have a set of wheels by then too
Jesus theres some shine off her-hopefully mine will look like that this weekend if I get the time!!
