Hello,
Just though I would introduce myself a the newest owner of from what I can gather must be the least endearing blobeye known to man!
Bought the car from Anth off here last week after selling my e46 M3 and having some cash burning a hole in my pocket,also missed having a turbo and if im honest found the M3 a little boring unless it was sideways. Car seems spot on so far and only needs a couple of little bits sorted to get it 100%. Not had much chance to do a lot to it so far except for remove the sub/amp from the boot as its not my thing and get a few boring maintenance bit ordered up. Anyway heres a few pics of how it stands,im sure if you're a regular on here you will be bored of seeing them by now!
Cheers Ross.

Yeah there are a load of receipts that came with it for David Robinson who I presume built it originally,you can really tell the car has been well looked after & had a lot of money spent on it to be fair.
As it happens I was very tempted to go and buy the car earlier in the year when it was for sale not long after xmas after getting sick of looking for a good M3 but gave it a miss when mine turned up,seemed like fate to buy the scoob with it been for sale again after flogging the beemer. I'm not normally one to change cars that often so should be with me for quite some time I hope.

You've got yourself a cracking car there, I had the car at the begining of the year for a little while, it was a really good car no doubt you'll enjoy it. The sub and amp in the car became pretty pointless once I put the afterburner exhaust on only thing you can really hear. You might find yourself setting off a few car alarms like I did.

Cheers for the welcome everyone!
I had a look back through some old pics of it on here last night and saw that it used to have a splitter on the front. If either Robbo_22 or chrisw can remember what it was that would be spot on as a splitter is one of my first jobs to sort and the one in the pics is just the sort of thing I have in mind.
Cheers Ross.

Yeah I'm not sure what happened to the splitter. I seen it a week after I sold it and noticed it was gone. I think it was one of the ht autos splitter. Go for the pu black plastic splitter as it doesn't need painting and is more durable. Its about £120 I think. One thing I miss on the car is the alloys I had them done in anthracite with a silver mist and when the sun hits gives a chrome sort of tint to them.

Cheers mate.
Hopefully will have some progress pics to post up soon and get a project thread on the go. Got an itch for a winter engine build and more power but need to do plenty research and a bit of saving first!
