    Same as, SRP seems to compliment HD Wax very well.

    I have some of that in the car, I want to have it done for the dyno day next saturday..

    Yep it's awesome :) just make sure not to use a normal carwash as that will strip the wax.
    claying it does wonders for the wax as well :D

    Halfords > HD wax > 3for2 > Axa = €102.84 / 3 friends = €34.28 per tub

    I think I have a new bottle of it somewhere, I'll throw it into the car and bring it with me. I'll probably end up giving it a coat over there anyway!

    Completely OT here but by any chance were you at the Sandyford Luas around 5pm this evening? I was driving past on the way to Woodies and saw what I thought was a Black Trans-Am. Was it you? Because I almost beeped you but then realised it would have been ridiculous, but also that yoke is some machine! :)

    I think it was closer to 5.30 in fact! ;)

    Perfectly legal lad, as the no parking sign in the top right hand corner shows:D

    I still have difficulty appreciating the E60 and will never warm to the E65 however the F10 and F01 are back in form. The E46 coupe is a smashing car however. :)

    Where'd you take that pic Al?

    Just near my estate, couldn't get the father to venture any further for a photo shoot!

    I was never too fond of the e60, but I think that colour is really nice in it. You don't see too many around in that colour. Comes up really well with a bit of TLC.

    Completely agree about the e46 though;)

    Also, I bought a new tax/insurance/nct holder today, other one looked ridiculous!

    I gathered it was down that way as I saw you posting earlier about not being insured on the 5er. I was wondering where exactly as I can't place it.

    Changed the Cabin filter. No prize for guessing which is the old one and which is the new one

    The cabin filter on the right is the old one? Am I correct? :P

    No that's the new one.

    They're made from carbon fibre, thus lighter.

    I would believe you..If I didnt change one of them before.

    Saturday I got some good part worns from Walkinstown Tyre Centre, Cant reccommend them highly enough, sound chaps.

    €200 for the following fitted and balanced:

    2x Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 225/40/18 5mm thread
    2x Continental Sport Contact 3 255/35/18 4mm thread

    Delighted with them, unbelievable grip whether its dry or wet.

    Saturday evening CM and MM and even RLH (too many acronyms :p) arrived on the scene and we got cracking on the new M sport bumper and the new air intake.

    Heres the during shots:

    And heres the after shots :)

    New bumper

    99551.jpg

    New rims

    23442.jpg

    1b342.jpg

    Need centre caps!

    32a25.jpg

    Shiny detailed engine bay with stock air intake instead of the K&N hot air intake that came with it.

    c4c29.jpg

    Engine is definitely breathing better with the stock air intake and its a little bit quieter too!

    Delighted with it, always regretted not holding out for a facelift model but the new bumper makes a huge difference and im content now

    That's what conzy calls "BMW special service tool 179986-RE".

    RE stands for Removes Everything :D

    Urm...the one on the right looks fine to me, its a proper carbon cabin filter and is supposed to be that colour. The one on the left is just a basic pollen filter so won't filter as many particles as the one you took out.
