I've only just seen this post for the first time :O all the posts were while i was on a 3 week holiday so this is the first time I've cast my eyes over this fantabulous work! Raj, well done! very well done :D

Finished pics are awaited with baited breath!

I now want to mod the sh1t out my cars...oh the need to be living in the same place as my cars is now more apparent than ever!! :cry:

I like the black RB's, because they're different! they're bold! they're..well......black!!

As for the comments on the blue centre seat section, the E39 M5 Le Mans had an option for the blue centre section, i looked at a few before buying my Le Mans M5 and they were too much! looked Chav IMO..............so well done on the blue stitching, looks perfect! I say perrrrfect!!!

I want to see the finished touch! :D

You need to get out there and :driving: the beast :thumbsup:

Hi all. Sorry for no further updates. I mentioned had a few problems with getting the brakes bled due to air trapped in the system when I first went down a couple of weeks ago to pick her up. I ended up leaving my camera, etc in London so couldn't provide any further pics. Well our very own Jason from BWChiptune sorted the brakes last Tuesday and I finally picked her up after another extremely long day. I replaced a knackered rear ball joint, got a 4 wheel alignment sorted and picked up my now sorted doorcards from Chris.

It's chucked it down with rain so the motor is a state already...? but will post up more pics later this evening.

Well still no final pics as unfortunately it was a reallllllllly long day sorting the rear ball joint picking up interior, final running around, etc and I didn't still have the camera till late.

So, I've got some more progress pics for now from the first visit to get her back 2 weeks ago. Also she is dirty again after the drive back and no garage to wash her in yet....

Unfortunately after quite some time of trying to bleed the brakes we had to give up as there was air trapped in the system which needed the pressure system and diagnostics laptop to be able to open the valves. So in came our very own Jason from BWChiptune to sort it:

Once she is washed and waxed I will get some completed pics...... <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) -->

Good additions mate...

Has Jason managed to surgically remove the headset from his ear yet? He is the Don on this BMW malarkey!

If you read this Jason - GOOD LUCK in ASIA this next month. Pics as you promised! Bet he doesn't read this, he always goes to the performance section! :poke:

@Raj, did Jason sort it? :D

And you're well overdue updated pics man - you're like a women (keeping me hanging on)! :headbang: Ahem...

I like the blue stitching on the cream leather - very nice.

PMSL just looked at them pics and had exactly the same thought :lol: ....is he ever without it??? IIRC didn't he have an aerial fitted to his crash hat when we went go carting :rofl:

Looking good there Raj :thumbsup:

@Sanj... if he's like a woman keeping you hanging on then we'll never see the final pics :poke: :rofl:

Sorry all. Trying to build a garage, do my day job, spend some time with my family (as been getting grief...lol) and adding another mod. Had a photoshoot with a few other guys for PBMW on Sunday so finally got round to cleaning her on Saturday.

Pics will be up this evening of the shoot and the nearly finished X.....
