Yeah, they ain't too bad. Check the front wings for rust though. Amazing how many of them are rusty. Think BMW will fix it under warranty depending on its age etc...________________________________________ Cherry Red Rallye .... On going OEM spec restoChina Blue GTi6 ....

Cheers seen that on a few, it's a real pain being without a car my vans doors don't lock anymore so I can't leave it parked anywhere, so I'm having to walk everywhere ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |
