I almost like the color ! :-D

car came with a dodgy flap (ooh err missus) set up on the CSL air box. previous owner kindly sorted out a new one under warranty and sent on.

its on hell of a unit:





off with the old:



the car used to run flap open all the time which was fun but I wanted a working sport button and response from the car so nice to have sorted.

getting car to where I want it to.

next up is to get cracking with the clay bar to really get a good shine on.

Thanks once again Martin

[Das Chin]

some uncle benz action:

[jonnysideways]

It was Nathan's car and what a true gent he was to deal with as he has had some mares of people ringing up after a rather silly thread on PH!!

My bad... Its was my Thread, though it genuinely wasn't meant to be silly, or cause anyone any issues!! I guess the issue with the internet is once you post on the internet you never know where the tread goes.

I think in the end though, as with my tread on here it has shown that you can not get a cheap CSL which is great for the owners.

Again, sorry if it encouraged some none genuine callers!

[Das Chin]

well UB you can sort that when I come down to switch exhausts if you like ;-) see you soon old boy.

My OCD is twitching at those locking wheel nuts not being in the same place on each wheel...

great minds!!

fine ben. yes original engine. engine numbers match that of the original supplied with the car.

[benfj180]

Hi Das Chin,

Looks mint mate, really happy for you. Condition on pics looks superb........out of interest, and you dont need to answer if you dont want to, but is she still on the original engine?

Cheers and enjoy

Ben

martin you have PM

[glendog74]

Welcome back to the fold and enjoy! :thumbs:

Car looks great - it doesn't matter about the miles as it has been looked after properly.

I would remove the intake flap though - they are only ever a PITA!

[martin770]

May aswell just leave the flap open !!!!
Car looks great :thumbs:
Dont get the stigma of a BMW over 100k They are desighned for a lot more than that !!!! I had an M3 E36 track car with 160k and it just kept going....
Have fun and enjoy.
If you fancy swapping exhausts let me know. Cheers Martin

[CraigMillwardCroft]

Nice car looks mint :thumbs:

[Das Chin]

feels very good matt and hard to explain really to people.

its the noise from the airbox that always starts the grin from the induction at low speed, then its just gets wider and wider as you press on

I love the balance and grip of the CSL and the general environment of it too.
