insurance company assessed it again, agreed with me and then asked if I wanted to send it back to same repairer...last straw for me, they fixed it properly through diff repairer but it was all to difficult for my liking

am now with Shannons

Sorry to hear that Hops . Glad it got sorted in the end mate. I was with AAMI last time it got rear ended. They refused to replace the diffuser because it was an aftermarket part (which was listed on the policy) also one guy here on the forum had his claim flat out rejected because his car was modded !!! This is my major concern, finding out my policy is worthless because the car is modded. I moved to Shannon’s because they cover modded vehicles as long as you disclose and have then listed on your policy. Have not tested a big claim with them but so far true to their word

Yep, I'm with Shannons for both cars now for the same reason, costs a little more, but no point paying for insurance that's worthless...

Installed a fresh set of 82mm wheel studs purchased through DrJs group buy (thanks Shano )

Decided to swap over to the 230 style wheels, to save the AD0Rs on the black CSLs for more spirited driving sessions

Probably should have picked a cooler day to do this, ended up sweating like a pig in the sun trying to get the old wheel studs out !!!!

Finally got there after 3 cold beers and a couple of stints in the shade to cool off.... hahahha

Such a simple wheel but looks so good!

How many sets of wheels and tyres do you have Socks? Have you still got the silver GTC's? You would need a storage shed just for wheels.

Gave the car a wash and a detail today
Used this wipe on wipe off polish
Was really impressed with the results
Pictures don't really do the finish justice tbh
Thought i'd share as I don't normally rate Meguiar's products, but this worked great and was super easy to apply

[Socket]

I think i prefer the black wheels tbh

[Coupes33]

The black wheels go well with the black trim and black bonnet Socks.

[Aus335iguy]

Looks badass.

Agree Coupes...... going back to a silver bonnet as soon as it gets back from the smash repairers

Going back to my original steering wheel
The M3 wheel is super nice but the flat bottom performance wheel was one of the cars first mods and made it unique
So 30 mins later and the interior is looking like it use to

Doesn't it have cutouts for the paddles?
