Sounds like we have a meet to plan... :D

[quote=""X5-MK""]
Seroiusly though guys, we're ruining Raj's thread here with all this bitching. Keep the pictures coming mate, :thumbsup:[/quote]

N'ah don't be silly. I like a bit of banter and for me this is what it's all about. Getting peeps talking....yay... :thumbsup:

Will have to get the guys to send some more pics of anymore progress. Heading down on Saturday as got to collect the interior and re-fit that and do a couple of other jobs on the X before the SLOW journey back up to Wolverhampton.... :driving:

My personal thoughts (not that anyone cares :))

Exterior - I like the blue a lot, and the colour-coding looks better than I expected. I normally like the way the black plastics break it up. Maybe it's just fully coded silver cars I don't like.

Leather - spot-on, very very nice.

Engine cover - no, no, no, no, no.

That is a stunning paint job Raj :thumbsup:
Really like the leather upgrade - the black steps.... I kind of like- (i think) but need to see the finished article.
One things for sure - am bloody jealous of your motor :driving:

Lol. The engine covers are a bit much so will be re-done to slighty tone it down (but they are more just for show purposes as they are the same colour as the brakes).

You can't please all the people all the time..... :P

Nope you can't - but gauging by the interest on your thread, I think you've done a pretty good job of it! ;)

Has to be different to be interesting. Well done.

Keep going, verdict reserved until I see it at a meet in the flesh! Until then, it's cr@p! :lol: :rofl: :lol:

Lol Sanj, you are right. Whether you like it or not, it has generated interest.
