gaz-777 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Lloyd, did you say you have 5mm or 10mm spacers up front? Can't remember what you said now. Greats pics again as said before. I've only got a canon sx510 bridge camera, so limited with what I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloyd_330 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 As ever, stunning pictures, I look forward to some buffing on your car I'll pm you and get you number mate we'll sort a date out! Lloyd, did you say you have 5mm or 10mm spacers up front? Can't remember what you said now. Greats pics again as said before. I've only got a canon sx510 bridge camera, so limited with what I can do. Hi gaz, i've got 5mm spacers at the front mate! Gonna get 10s for the rear for a bit better and wider stance! The camera sounds decent mate! If you are after a DSLR there are loads of pretty decent ones used on ebay selling cheap. Mines a Canon EOS 20D i'm borrowing from my dad, over 10 years old but still great quality. They're on ebay for less than £100. I wanna upgrade to a brand new one in the coming months but the prices are scary haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lloyd_330 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 HI Lloyd, this whole air bag recall thing, what is it ? iv not had any letter through about it ? Theres a thread on here about it mate its basically a recall from BMW of a fault they found after thousands of E46s went off the production with faulty air bags, its something to do with if it deploys it can be potentially dangerous for you or passengers. I never received a letter either but many others said they had so i just called up my local dealers and said i'd like to book my E46 in for an airbag recall, they check the system to see if you're reg is one of the models affected and i booked it in and asked for a courtesy car! Easy as that mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
