Gaz Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Interior pics needed OP IMO IIRC. Looks stunning, Pete Edited January 30, 2012 by Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Turko Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Nice one! Didnt really know much about this car before this post, other than its always photographed in Ricky's shots. Love the fact that all the maintenance side has been prioritised. Its great when you see a car looked after to a high standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterH Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Gaz, the latest interior pic i have is this: For 121,000 miles I have to say, apart from the odd interor squeak (which I plan to fix) it runs as smooth as E46's with half that milage. I would love to make the car stand out a little more exterior wise though, but that's not a priority for me. I really do like making sure that everything mechanical is running to peak efficiency first, which is almost done!

PeterH Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Cheers! So today, I bought a number plate holder.... Chopped it up.... And currently putting it back together again... Hopefully with a bit of moulding back to the shape of the front bumper it will look sweet! I couldn't find a 12x3 plate holder anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I want to do this, but worried with the pressure of it being bent to the shape of the bumper it'll pop open again. What are you sealing it together with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamN Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 That plate holder looks smart Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I didn't realise you had a smaller plate? I'm just using super glue at the moment and will filler it up tomorrow when moulding it to the shape i want and then re-inforce it with something stronger... dunno what yet though lol! It might not even work out but for £7 i thought i'd give it a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 lol Cheers Sam, still a long way to go... I wonder if it will be classed as OEM+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not even work out but for £7 i thought i'd give it a shot I don't, yet I cut my plate holder down as a test, attached it and all hell broke loose! haha. It just wouldn't stay together. If you're actually moulding it to the right shape before attaching you'll probably be sweet though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Yeah, i think it will only be held on with the centre screw though but i'll see how stable it is. The plan is not to put too much stress on it by bending the holder more than it wants, so filler should help. We'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Picked up a set of E90 M3 reps today init! I've put the plate holder on hold until i get some more glue lol! The MV1 refurb project begins! Big Thanks to Dazza too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
