Yes was painted in June but I got to the end and something wasn't right. I had her taken apart, put right and she will be painted again. That's 35 hundred just on paint in total. She has got to be right though!!!!

I've got a list that I add to everytime I buy something for the car. I suggest you take a seat........ When she leaves the body shop in a week, she will owe me..... £20,944. On top of that will be diamond cutting my wheels, tyres, tracking, refurbishment of seats and door cards and last of all £600 detailing. Oh forgot custom cat back exhaust system and remap by evolve.

My seats just need a clean up but I want the car to be like brand new especially with what I've spent. All interior plastics have been replaced with brand new or carbon skinned.
Think she has become an obsession :rofl:

Big bucks mate but I guess you'll end up with pretty much a new car at the end of it. Hope you plan on keeping if for a few years :thumbsup:

If your going to come on a car forum demanding parts (my first post) and talking a good build then you got to do what you say and do it well.
I will always own the car and she will never be finished even when she's on road. She will be the M that never got old lol

Thanx mate. I've tried to keep it tasteful and not too far from the standard car. Ive still got a lot of ideas in the pot but my main aim is to get her on road for summer.
