Re: Jimbobs gold 323i
Yup same car. I think he did alot of good work restoring that car to a very high standard. He sold it as he wanted a manual. I supplied quite a few parts for this car incl the front spoiler, motorsport steering etc
Re: Jimbobs gold 323i
apart from the stoopid head lamp wipers that looks really nice.
how much did you part with for it?

I love gold e21's such a nice retro colour. Can't believe they're the same wheels, look the business.

Re: Jimbobs gold 323i
ha ha i know it sounds weird. i tried a few wheel cleaners and they wouldnt
shift the black corrosion marks from the lips. i saw it on mythbusters once
so thought id give it a go, just screwed up tinfoil dipped in coke i gave it a
rub and hey presto cleaned them up lovely
