Hi Paul, glad all is well at your end. Good to see the rcf is going strong and your coming back onto the forum, I made a decision in the new year to try and get out and about in mine a bit more, try and get to some meets, hopefully see you at one.

all the best, matt

F10 m5’s are very good value for money at the moment imho. 

👍🏻 Didn’t take too long to go. Did you sell privately or trade?

whats on the cards next?

That’s a shame Graham but fully understand your reasoning. I don’t  bother taking mine out during the day on a Saturday, just no point as its manic everywhere. Hope you enjoyed the gsf though.

I think the darker colour is a better contrast with the white paint personally - nice colour 👍🏻

Agreed, had a dark bronze coloured wheels on a silver Subaru. They looked nice

This came out last year I believe. Mine was done just under a year ago.

Good luck with the search.

gsf’s seem quite few and far between at the moment.

Good luck with the search Nick, patients is the key to get what you want 👍🏻

There were a few guys on here debating selling.

If you go for it gents, post up some pictures please.

thanks, matt

Hi mate, very sorry to see another isf written off.

Did you have fully comp insurance?

if you did you just need to fight the battle for the true value of the car.

looking at the pictures I would say it wouldn’t be worth your while repairing. Back wheel, suspension has taken a good hit. Airbags gone off?Also it would be recorded as a write off and would de value the car. Just my opinion on what I can see. 

if it was me and I wasn’t fully comp I’d look to break it for parts.

At least you walked away from it. all the best, matt

I did mention that I would like a LC500, didn’t think they will take it literally 😂😂😂

Lexus Cheltenham and Sam, the service manager are the best! 

Great looking car, I ask whenever mines in for another f or the lc. They just laughed when I enquired about the lc. They did let me look inside it though ! 😩

good work 😎

Looks very nice. Good job 👍🏻 

I run option 2 with an aftermarket elbow. I like the Jekyll and Hyde intake with the exhaust note, makes it more of an event when she comes on song 😎

Blimey, that’s a fair whack, hope it was more than an oil and filter change with the brakes 😮

mate, I have had 2 previous black cars and vowed and declared I would never have another, yet here I am!

 

bite the bullet dude, its super hard coating that will at minimum prevent it getting worse for the next 18-24 months!!

It’s got to be the way forward. I’ll start saving!

the paint on these cars is soooooo soft, it really needs a hard layer!!

Must admit i dispare at my paint at times, if I look at it the wrong way it seems to mark. The black shows everything! Tried all sorts on it, going to have to bite the bullet, get it corrected and ceramic coated.

I think that needs to go back to the dealer to have the seals replaced, at the very least.

Agree with the above. It’s not going to get any better. Get them changed whilst under warranty 👍🏻

There’s always another car Tim at another time. hope you get your health back on track.

best wishes, matt

It was dry when I left!

I’ve had a set of Phillips LED side lights, that guys on here recommended, in my garage for far too long. Was going to fit them when I took the bumper off for a refresh. Decided to have a go leaving the bumper and lights in place. Not a bad job.  Near side is fiddly due to the wiring loom.   Offside was easy after ten minutes removing the air box.  Really pleased with the difference. Nice white light. picture in the dark is with just side lights on.

Cleaning and modifying for me. The roads in my neck of the woods are very very busy and in an extremely poor condition. Love driving the car, just get no pleasure avoiding massive holes in the road.

looking forward to the southern meet if it happens to go further afield  👍🏻

And we have a winner!!

I'd say that was bead-tastic!

Had to wait for it to start ☔️ 

This stuff is very good for your beading pleasure. Bit tacky when it’s on as the car does seem to ‘hold’ any dust.

nice and cheap at ecp too.

I’ve got hawke ceramic fitted to the front of mine.

low dust, good initial bite, when worked hard feel a little vague though.

going to try something else next time.

loved the ds2500’s I had on my Subaru

Really like my stock 10 spoke but have to admit the mesh design wins it for me.
