marcAB10 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Well it's been a nice productive (albeit a tad expensive) week so far, car has been at the bodyshop for 2 weeks getting some things done- All arches fully rolled (rears fully flat) 3 arches fully sprayed dent and scuff removed from rear quarter. this is all in prep for the new wheels.. which should arrive anytime within the next 4 weeks.. here's some pics.. although not much to see really i guess lol- Next up, i payed for my new coilovers yesterday! went for the BC br series- http://www.bc-racing.co.uk/coilovers-series-br/?popUpClose=1 got a nice deal from Paul when me and Kieran (monsween) bought together, so pleased with that, again in prep for the new wheels so it will sit right. And finally, i just purchased my first ever private reg plate!! randomely really excited about it lol got it for a cracking price imo and it reads M5 5OUP my initials are MS and the soup should be obvious why.. i thought it would be a little more quirky than the SUP ending ones i first looked at... unsure if the spacing will be fully leagal but i'll work it out so it looks good enough. happy marc!

Josh Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Has someone shot your bonnet with an air rifle? Looking forward to seeing the car once you'd fitted the new wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Has someone shot your bonnet with an air rifle? Just noticed that after reading Josh' comment. Weird dent that!? +1 on the new wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 Has someone shot your bonnet with an air rifle? No.. Last year someone smashed my windscreen, threw food over my car and did that dent on the bonnet.. It will hopefully be fixed by suprapod.

Hammer Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Nice, what wheels did you finally settle on, or is it a surprise. (I know I've seen a thread on them before but can't remember if you had settled on a set). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Looking great bud, Wheels will make a huge difference to the car. I still feel it would look so much better with a Spoiler though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you'd look better with a little more fat on your bones!... Thanks for the comments though guys, really starting to look forward to getting the wheels on now when they finally arrive!

marcAB10 Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 Any pics of the arch lip mate? i have to do mine soon,, It's hard to get a good pic since the car is black but I can try get one. It pretty much looks the same as Jurgans (I assume his are rolled as the look like mine, might be the arch liner deceiving me in the pic), as in the edge comes up a little then folds back, the lip on mine is then completely flat with the arch- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah bud, ordered them through MVP, they take 3 months to come but I only have 3 weeks of that left. Also, my coilovers arrived, looking nice and shiney!

marcAB10 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 And thanks to TTRickeh and my mate Olley who basically fitted all the coilovers, they are now on after a long day's work! Never took any pics of the car once done as it just looks the same right now as before really, need to give them time to settle and also will all need adjusting again one the new wheels are here. TDR's guide helped a lot, was a simple enough job it seems apart from a few annoying bolts. Happy they are on now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 It's lookin' good. Fantastic work ethic too... arrived, took box out of car, went for lunch. I'm just finishing off the pizza now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha yep, that's how we roll.. can't work proper on an empty stomach is my excuse! Having a look in the daylight this morning, the drive home last night seem to make them settle a good bit allready, will be taking it a reasonable drive later today too.
