    nothing drastic. just going to give it a service, do a job on the bit of rust around the rear arches before it gets out of hand. bumpers are sagging and the headlights are delaminating, new reg plates, polish it properly. change a few trim pieces inside, wet vac everything. repair the passenger door (doesn't centrally lock), repair the exhaust blow, probably remove the sub, badgeless grille. just tidying up bits, but lots of them. :)

    doesn't reek of fags unfortunately, just stale air :(

    that yeti photo is savage :)

    definitely do the reg plates, its surprising what a clean looking set of plates does for a car.

    Would ye not leave the sub in it? nice to have full depth in the tunes :)

    Were you parked in the Blackrock Inn Industrial Estate car park today? Saw an orange ST there and thought it looked really well, I think it looks better than the blue.

    I was indeed, I was out golfing! I was unsure about the orange but now I wouldn't have it in any other colour.

    If it was me I'd lose the decorations and find a standard front grill.

    I think its the best colour for it by far. Stands out way more.

    Decorations? Not exactly sure what you mean...

    I do have the standard/original grille as well (I have 3 grilles actually, although one of them is no longer usable) however I'm not going back to the original. I will either cut out or paint the 2 metal pieces behind the grille in the bonnet and I may end up colour-matching the current grille.

    Hehe, no it's not a diesel. It's petrol, with performance induction kit, but I still get about 50 MPG on N4.

    It's called stickerbombing, CianRyan, I've seen it on a couple of cars here in Ireland but not a lot though. Anyway, there's no dents underneath, just a small scratch.

    i think stickerbombing makes it unique to you. Not many at all in Ireland, i have never seen any on the road but my own.

    Here is my stickerbomb.

    I was toying with the idea of doing my centre consol, never got around to it though.
    Next time I need a new panel I'll just cover it in stickers, paint is expensive. :p

    haha no way, its making me sad at the moment, covered in dust from being left alone for months. Wasn't sure to get it fixed or buy another car, saw a couple but nothing that really turned my head in the end. half thinking about a saab 93, which seems very nice.

    repair costs to sort the head gasket is far more than the car is worth but apart from that major issue, its in perfect enough condition mechanically and bodywise and I like driving it

    Here is my stickerbomb.

    I have seen stickerbomb on 2 or 3 different cars. Only petrol caps though as far as I remember.

    Looks great mate, nice bombing. Looks better de-badged too.

    You get a rattle can for under 10 euro, you'd be surprised what you can do with those. Stickers will cost you more than that. :)

    I recently spent over €300 on getting my wing replaced and painted, anything is cheaper than that. Haha

    Wow, that's unbelievable. You can get a whole car for €300, even less. Would have been better off holding out until you find one of the same colour, or if you can't find one for ages you can find your colour code, get the right paint and re-spray it yourself or... you know... stickerbomb it. :)

    Couldn't have been driving it around, the light was smashed and the wing was crumpled up the side. I got a brand new wing as a favour so that killed some of the price. :D

    Free wing + spray can = 10 euro, job done.

    ...apart from the light, but they're not that expensive. :P

    you'd never get a wing to match in properly with just a rattle can. ever. paintwork imo needs a professionals touch.

    speaking of stickerbombing.... :pac:

    Nice Silvia, fil.

    Those BMW's are amazing bobin, I've always been a fan of the old 5 series. They're quite rare though. Also it's been years since I've seen that steering wheel lock thing. :D
