| My new car (Non Vauxhall)
Well I have had it just over a week now but not had the chance to get it cleaned properly so did not want to show anybody till it was looking somewhere near its best.
I spent the best part of the day cleaning and polishing only to find I had lost my camera, so a quick call to a good mate and its Spankee to the rescue..... 
He even finished it off for me with some tyre polish and gave it a once over with the Quick detailer..... What a cleaning god.... 
If I could find a bowing Icon I would use it..... 
Anyway over to Spankee for the pics.

| There are no plans for any mods. This is gonna be kept standard. The front bumper needs a respray and it needs a couple of days spent on the bodywork to remove a lot of little scratches but thats it.
I took it to a specialist this week for a check up and it came out 100% ok. Very satisfying. | |

| Nice Brian.
Is this another toy or is this the lady wife's normal transport?
Does it replace another toy you have just sold or do you now have two drop top toys?

| The beemer is not officially a toy, I am under strick orders from her that must be obeyed that it is not being modified in any way.
Maybe just a new tax disc holder though....
(And possibly an air filter ) | |

| I just don't like the e46 M3, think its more the shape than performance, too wide for the length, looks squashed.
Gimme a 330i with a turbo kit anyday! | |

Would bank with Tom out of the two, diesel all the way. | |
