got my bits!!

i got a drivers door handle in primer from local bmw dealer for £20 + vat and got it sprayed locally for £20.
BMW gave me the correct colour code so happy with that..

also finally got round to replacing the wonky switch for the alarm under the bonnet £12 from dealer, just a straight plug in job.

priced a parking sensor but £85 from dealer, so will be looking elsewhere for that!!

and got 4 new boots for her, 19's toyo proxes delivered from camskill £545 and fitted locally for £70, cheapest option i could get, cheapest local supply and fit for toyo's was £720

so all in all happy with that lot, just need to find a parking sensor now!! :thumbsup:
