    Selling the sport suspension?
    Let me know!
    BTW, I saw (somewhere) your video on how to remove the gas cap. Brilliant!
    I was looking at mine for the longest time with out any knowledge of that small pin... Now, my cap is no chrome any more thanks to you.
    I think YOU are the only person who should have all black Clubman because of what you do for living... These dark colors are bi*** to keep nice...



    Power to the R55!:devil::devil:

    I haven't decided yet about the sport suspension but I might be! Atleast it would be the struts, springs, and rear sway bar..don't plan on replacing the front.

    re: video
    Cool! Glad it helped!

    re: Black Clubman
    Haha yeah I know what you mean, lol. It's certainly or shouldn't be atleast, for everybody, lol. Course I'd say for either your Clubman or mine, put on some Prima Banana Gloss...take you 20 minutes top to put it on and remove and your paint will look even better!

    You can still use BG over Zaino. :D My two beefs about Zaino on dark paint is that it doesn't help the richness of color...it's super glossy and reflective and it doesn't fill defects in one application like BG which is a hybrid carnauba.

    It's a liquid carnauba wax that goes on super easy, dries in seconds, and wipes off with no effort. It makes any color paint other than white or silver look richer, more uniform, and reflective. It also has fillers to conceal light swirls and defects in the paint.

    In short, it makes your paint look better without having to do anything other than wipe it on and wipe it off while protecting it for a month.

    Actually its the carbon fiber Vortex 2 from M7. I got it off a member of the sewing site that was selling his R56 cause he got a 1 series.

    I really like it too! :D

    Sweet scoop, I thought it was a Voltage scoop initially. The ride looks amazing, which is no surprise. How were you able to get certain letters on your plate in red? Quite creative.

    Very nice Richard. And it's the only one in existence!:Thumbsup:
    I'm worried about a RED theme starting to crop up. I'm sure it's being followed closely by a particular someone on the forum. :lol::lol::lol: Lynn
