So my list of things to do never got done due to other commitments so the car is as it was for the moment. Had enough time to get it cleaned. Also enough time for pics as there isn't really any good ones.
Had to go back to the original rear lights for the time being due to a fault with the M3 lights/wiring loom
Not going to be able to make it to edition 38 Show and Shine either. Need to get some o/t in at work!

I'm pretty sure you didn't Steve! Must have been someone else masquerading as me! 
Cheers Dan. Just going to do them either a nice bright silver or Arctic silver that the body colour is.
Ben, its just so that it matches the wonky exhaust.... It is a little low on the drivers side cos its not on the crash bar for whatever reason. But when the top pics were taken the drivers side coilover was set a tad lower than the passenger side all adding up to look like I have a warped bumper

Steve, there is a silver e36 M3 on a staggered set of these Z3M wheels, but mine are the rear wheels front and rear.
Thanks for the nice comment James, but Graham's is a far better car than mine.

Not much change but decided to go for amber's all round after failing to get the M3 rear lights to work (rear wiring loom is different for whatever reason on mine). Also bought a US number plate blank. Cleans up the front no end, but it remains to be seen how long before i'm pulled for plate not being on the front!
Haven't painted the centres of the wheels as all its done is piss it down when i've had the time!

Silver/grey cars pull off ambers better than darker colours. I swapped em from a 318 cab Ive got which I'll post up pics of later.

So i've recently been having water temp issues. Rush hour traffic and steam pissing out everywhere. Great! Diagnosed it as thermostat stuck closed, so changed it which was a twat to do with the the viscous fan being there. BUT, the plastic thermostat housing had a couple of cracks in where its previously been over tightened, so i blathered a load of Loctite sealant on it which solved that problem, but the housing itself didn't seal so today i took it off again.
The offending housing
Took it off and cleaned up the mounting faces and re-assmbled
Re-filled the system by filling up through the top hose. This pushes water round the system and back in to the expansion tank on the rad. Helps reduce air locking as they're a git to bleed.
Action shot! everyone loves em!
So once that was sorted i set about washing the '99 E36 318 cab i bought at the same time i bought the 323. I was gonna use the Cab but i prefer the 6 pot engine so the Cab kind of got forgotten about. Bought some coilies for it, fixed the window motor (what a c**t to do!) and got it MOT'd. Its for sale so hit me with your offers around £1600!
A few pics of it and with mine

Not much has happened! Two weeks ago i crashed my bike at Mallory Park on a trackday, broke my collar bone, broke my shoulder blade, bruised ribs lung and liver and heavily bruised top of my leg/hip. So been out of action of any form! But i was bored of watching daytime tv, and feeling a little better managed to get out and give the car a winter clean. Washed, clay barred and polished all with 1 arm!
Got round to removing the '323i' badge. Still need to get exhaust sorted and new number plates though! :unsure:
