    Out with the Clio, in with the BMW

    So, my 197 is being sold. I've had someone put a deposit on it and they are coming to collect it next week. For its replacement, I thought i'd go for something that cruises a bit better and has a bit more luxury to it, so I got this 123d. Just spent all day washing, claying, polishing and...

    Anthracite wheel paint

    Does anybody know what the paint code is, or where I could get some touch up paint for my alloys? They're anthra raiders from an R27. Managed to curb it in a car park this morning and id rather just touch it up than have to get the whole wheel refurbed... Cheers

    Sunset Photos

    I thought I would have another go at taking these seeing as my attempts yesterday were really crap. I know these arn't much better but I still don't know which I should put into the POTM comp. I think i prefer number 1, even if it is a bit dark. What do you guys think?

    Got my new wheels on

    Not a huge change, basically gone from silver to anthracite :-p Picked these up from GlassJaw yesterday and i'm so happy with them :D Feels so much nicer to drive with the contis on aswell, so much smoother and a lot less noise from the tyres.

    Caliper Pins are a bitch
