    Super4 sales car winter project

    I came across an "IS" local to me last week so I went to look at it and decided I wanted a mini project to do up and sell. The color is what made me do it as I have only seen a few in this color and have to say once washed it looks very nice.

    The Car in question :

    Year : Oct 1999
    Engine : 1.9 M44
    Mileage : 140,700 miles
    Color : Meergrun (Sea Green)
    Service History : Upto 119,000 miles

    Spec :

    Electric windows
    Electric Mirrors
    Electric Sunroof
    Climate control
    18 Button OBC
    Full msport kit with lip and mesh
    Msport steering wheel
    Black on black interior
    Rear ICC rep motorsport spoiler
    17" MV2 Alloys (need to check originality)
    Coilovers all round (Possibly FK)
    Angle eyes fitted (unsure of brand)
    M3 replica mirrors (Decent reps)
    9 AC Schnitzer stickers which have really increase the overall power

    What shall be done :

    Get NCT
    Full service - All filters and fluids
    Full scrub up
    Clutch
    Check back suspension (Sagging on driver side)
    Check over brakes and replace where needed
    Fix front panel on LHS
    Get it ready for the New Year



    I shall get some more pictures up later if time permits.

    Thanks for looking.

    Or an E46 saloon of course in gun metal grey would be lovely, and after seeing yours at C&C it is also in my thoughts. Was discussing your car with another member today and it is indeed a very nice looking saloon and nice to see, as many of the saloons are unloved and in poor order.

    More pictures shall be coming very soon as it got a good wash today which as we all know can make a huge difference.

    The other items to be put in the bin along with all the AC stickers are the horrible "Bold" style number plates with M stripes!

    Good to chat with you at C&C Don.

    Would have loved to get my hands on that but couldn't justify another 318is Coupe.
    Same colour as my 1st E36. (Which is now dead)

    Best of look with it Cab. :cooler:

    RE: Super4 sales car winter project

    So with the help of Nigel we gave the car a good scrubbing, the wheels and tires were cleaned with Wax-Tec "Clean All" and Wax-Tec "Fall Off" and body was pre sprayed with Wax-Tec APC to help with removing all the moss and dirt in all shuts and panel gaps etc. It was then rinsed followed by a snow foaming and wash.

    BEFORE :















    NOSE CONE DAMAGE :



    AFTER & AFTER WASH :
















    Thanks for looking
