Gracias! I'm weird so kinda like it  Just get rid of the whitewalls and that would improve it 100%. When I build my Coupe I'm going for yellow and 16inch bolt on Image wire wheels, and with the car lowered like a Competizione, life's too short to worry about resale  |

The white walls look very American market style
Build quality looks high , different set of wheels would completely change the look of that
I’d like to see a coupe in yellow

The side windows really improve the looks, I never liked the fact that the windscreen looked too high in relation to the side windows. Are the side windows glass or plastic?[/QUOTE]
The side windows are plastic but it is a coated product that is supposed not to mark (easily) , i will not be going to Stoneleigh as starting the drive down to Italy to watch this years Mille Miglia , thanks Geoff .

Not a fan of the yellow paint but the interior is pretty good, the door cards and tunnel top look the part, BMW gauges are a bit of a comprise though. |

At the price- so are the bolt on non Borrani wheels and the non-Marchal spot lights. Nothing that another £6k wouldn't put right. |

non-Marchal spot lights
I have some genuine Marchals with at least one of the original boxes if anyone wants to piss pounds in the wind...

The difference colour makes to a car is INSANE.
Also on the bay of ‘E’ at the moment...
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ferrari-2....c100009.m1982
I know where I would park my money (and the car isn’t yellow!). That said, it may suit a coupe better.
Wish I was still based in the UK... |

I have a similar dash for my 250 SWB but may alter it a touch to try and lose the curve that gives the BMW origins away.
The colour will be marmite as with so many colours.
Oh and if you are reading this Geoff I will get your mouldings out to you this week, apologies for the delay.

Jeff thank you for the update , Geoff . |

I have seen the yellow one in automotivenostalgia a couple of times and it is done to a high standard. The yellow looks so good up close that I’m doing mine the same haha

Oh, you utter, utter b**tard, I am green with envy (California Sage Green probably). What a spanking job you have made of that. I'll be on the phone to Chris to hurry along with mine (well, I'm going down next week to review progress anyway).
Damn, damn, p*ss, sh*t and b*ggery b*llocks, you might have ruined my summer. Are you going to Stoneleigh on Sunday? Please say yes. - Just seen your previous post. Ah well.
