Matt was hanging out to be the 1 remaining oem paint King.

All bright and shiny now!!

Ironic that a stonechipped nose can have such a detrimental effect on value when a very small financial outlay puts £££££'s back on the car.

Im still Oem paint all round

[cslsuperfan]

Yes the trim

Cotsworth 50, original paint maybe hard to come by, I bet 90+% have had some paint to keep them tidy.

Plenty out there with original engines waiting to go pop.

I was only joking about the pop

Yes, sorry I know most will have had the front end done.

Yes, most have original engines, whether they're 'waiting to go pop' is open to question imho.

Anyway, I'm not adding much to this discussion so I'll leave you gents to it

If anyone has a CSL for sale then please feel free to PM me.

Do you mean the trim such as steering wheel and dash trims or seat backs and rear console?

I think he's referring to those areas painted in Titanium Silver, however if I remember correctly 'Shimmy' had his steering wheel repainted by colour matching the existing, no BMW paint code.

'NZ_M3' would probably know the BMW codes for the Titanium paint and the 'Plasti-Dip' type paint also.

I'm not sure whether Cosworth50 has had the pleasure of ownership of a CSL or indeed the day in day out of running and maintaining one.

Hi gents,

Just to be clear I really do hope the car sells and that the new owner is happy and that the seller gets what he wants for it. I'm a car fan and want everyone to enjoy their cars, especially on sunny days like today.

We all have our opinions, mine are often wrong and I'm not afraid to admit it. Someone may pay £50k for this car as it has had a new engine and, by the sounds of it, will look mint when restored.

Personally for me I would prefer one with lower miles and an original engine and one that had original paint BUT I may be in the minority. We are all different and that's what makes the world go round.

All the best with the sale

Hi thanks for the heads up, I have purchased brand new carbon splitters.

And the chap who's doing the work used to work for BMW.

IIRC the new CF splitters come without any lacquer on them these days :banghead: so there will be more work required to get them to the OE finish.
If I were you I'd (as others have already said) get Mark CSL to refurbish your original one and get a refund for the ones you've just purchased. :thumbs:
Below are a couple of pix of one of my rare original MK1 flippers before & after refurbishment by Mark :smokin: Highly recommended

[mattCSLnut]

Thanks for you kind words and I will keep you posted on the progress.

Please do :thumbs: we do look after our own :hahaha:

I'm sure there's a post in the technical section with the code

[VW Sportline]

Agree. Get the bits sorted, write a better advert, avoid eBay, get some nice news pics, and £39995 should be where you are pitching it.

Cosworth won't like it but bet you it sells

IMHO now that you've rightly decided to do this whole thing properly by investing that little bit extra time & £££ to make your CSL the excellent car it always deserved to be (and possibly once was) ... so long as all the remedial work you're now having done to it is of a very high standard, I'd consider this moment the equivalent of a re-set button.
Forget those less than perfect eBay adverts don't waste any more of your time or money re advertising the CSL there. Re writte the PH Ad explaining clearly exactly what you're now doing and once the CSL is all sorted get some proper pix and advertise it on CSLR :thumbs:

My thoughts exactly. Good move coming here, being known will help rather than being a random ebay car. I would also sell it just on CSLR, there's that few cars out there, anyone serious will know where to look.
