Looks absolutely superb ! One of the best colour combos with the 107s that I have seen. :thumbsup: Why have you fitted mudflaps for summer ? :wink: Is it supposed to be wetter than usual ? :rofl:
Thankyou for compliment. I always fit mudflaps to protect the paintwork from debris thrown up from tyres :thumbsup:

Today I changed all the interior bulbs over to LED one's.

Who's bloody stupid idea was it to design the welcome lights in the bottom of the doors like that. Can't believe you have to take the door card off just to change a bulb. :headbang:

I did things the wrong way around compared to forum custom

First I washed and waxed him.

Then took him out on a BMWCCGB run into Northumberland and Scotland and made him filthy. He will just have to stay like that all week now. Weirdly the two E89's on the run came out looking reasonably clean. Do E86s have special dirt magnetism ?
