Wow what an impressive list of mods mate. Well done.

I must say, I love the Volk rims the best out of all the others you've had on. I've always loved those rims.

Thanks mate, I dont run with them on very often
Was thinking about putting them up for sale but they have new PS4 rubber on them and would need to ask about $4500 to break even..... cant see anyone paying that kind of money for the Volks

Socket.
The "fade" on your CF boot. How did you do it? I have been building up my E93 and it will require a spray soon. I was tempted to wrap it but couldn't decide between gloss grey (non metallic) and Matt grey so decided to stick with Space Grey respray. Anyone in Sydney got a good painter?
