Toby Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 Ive been going down the local cruis the last couple of weeks and last thursday once I left I got to a long stretch of road where i found a young lad in a e46 m3 in front of me.. soon as he saw what was sitting behind him hes put pedal to the metal, obviously I followed suit and as I came on boost I shot past him like he was going backwards We got to a set of lights at the end where he wound down his window.. all he had to say was "thats f**king ridiculous" ha ha Love it!! Toby, lol you sorted yours out yet? Havent seen it for a while! Mine scared yours off or something as if!! Love the story - it's what it's all about. Mine's having a years sebatical!

285Andy Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 yeah, the panel under the rear bumper? or did i imagine it??
ZetecTinaLee Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Posted September 13, 2010 Sorry andy I didnt realise what you meant by the rear valance as I havent removed it! We just moved the exhaust cut out We welded a plate in the origional position smoothed it and cut the new one out then matt blacked it
