More Panda rather than Polar

....and there was me panicking that something had happened to your car

Looks very nice mate! So when are you getting this exhaust done? Do they tune the exhaust to the note and sound that you specify as well?

[Aussie_in_London]

I thought that would be the case lol

Nope its all safe and sound and on it's maiden voyage to the Nurburgring this Sat.....

As for the exhaust, going in to H&S straight after it's trip to KW for the DDC set up, and will be with them for the week dropping off on the 7th May. The plan is to try and customise the note the exhaust will generate...Not going for loud.

I havent got any GAP /shortfall at the moment however considering recent thefts, have reconsidered it although it would only be return to invoice. There's enough equity in my finance.

In all the cases I have seen RTI can only be purchased up to 180 days after getting the car. I have had mine since June last year.

If you know anyone that provides it for older cars please let me know.

My wife ain't happy thought, I planned and executed it all while she has been away in Spain for work, I picked her up from Gatwick late Sat evening, "So what do you think of the roof" answer....."why wasn't I consulted on this change, it is my car!"

That's new stuff for the portfolio (http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=667157).

But even with the new gear (aerial included), it's still her good old Polar Bear, isn't it ?

Hmmmm let me think about it that for a while, a half cast Polar Bear / Penguin

[hybris4u]

Did you go for a real carbon roof or is it wrapped?

[Jaw_F430]

Some silvertec indicator lamps would finish it off nicley

I hell ain't cutting the roof out of the car, I will leave that to the American folk on here, the wife would kill me, I kid you not lol So gloss black Hexis cast vinyl and picked up some new roof rails and antenna cover and had them painted gloss black, easy to go back that way......

Sounds like a good plan! Did you buy the new roof rails and antenna cover at BMW?

PS. My wife would just kill me if she knew what a real carbon roof costs if I changed it. She would mumble something about bigger breasts or a trip somewhere...

Yeah new from BMW, my mate who did the painting sorted it for me....

And there would be no mumbling here, aussie women can be very loud and don't hold back when they have something to say, plenty of shoes and handbags, clothes and god know what else for the same price as carbon roof

[hybris4u]

Could you take some good pictures of the roof? Im interested in doing something similar. Either high gloss black like you did or some carbon wrap that match the mirrors/spoiler.

Me and the missus had a full blown argument this weekend when I told her we couldn't afford a diamond ring for her birthday. I was reminded how much the Performance seats cost and therefore lost. Went to Cambridge and had to empty my car modding wallet
