Okay so thought I would start a project thread, even if only so I can track what I'm doing/ done.
Bought the car for £2k with mot til feb and 2 months tax
Not many plans for it, just powder coated alloys and a new head unit Smile for now haha

Also, averaging about 34mpg, not bad!

Ginge you've turned grumpy recently!

I thought it was also about the community? & how we're all 'mates' as well?

No-ones told you to do one with the 205?

Uncalled for IMO..

What kind of journeys are you doing to get 34mpg? Your obc will most likely be heavily optimistic. Check it out brim to brim.

I'd strongly recommend checking the bushes out, especially front lollipops. Then, get the wheels off and scrub out the arches. Chances are they have already started to rust!

E46 zones orite.

Always fancied one of these, had chance of a 330i but too heavy on juice.

Looks well though apart from the front plate.

I think the number plate is there so it's more hidden when you're 14mm from the back bumper of the car in front in the outside lane...

All seriousness though, looks good Smile

After driving it for a bit it's usually about 27.9 mpg, which isn't THAT bad considering..

Also I'm still undecided on wheel colour :/ don't want to chav it up..

Leave the wheels. Lose the boot spoiler, get the black mask projector style indicators to match the headlights.

My favourite bit about these is how the wing mirrors fold in, it's epic how they go up!

I've got bmw diagnostics dec & can turn on so it beeps when you lock and unlock it, & if it doesn't already open and close the windows if you hold lock/unlock down, I can do that too Smile

Worst thing about moonstone is that it looks no different polished unless you're looking hard. Meh.

My favourite wax has always been Natty's blue paste. Smells like bubblegum. Don't taste like it though, regretted that decision.
