I have a soft spot for the scoobs, as I know quite a few of the owners and they are all a top bunch - huge enthusiasts just like us really.

Might pop out for a run, and your more than welcome but I am not at home just now afraid.  Hopefully I am home in time for santa.  

With the Milltek fitted she sound does sound pretty mean.   

It is also a pretty impressive piece of kit to see, very big and shiny!

Oh no scoobies sound terrible imo and look even worse cant stand them, im sure that M3 of yours would give the RS4 and run in the sound department.

 

If your ever passing Newmachar give me a shout id love a passager trip in the new M3.

I agree they are great cars, they have a nice rumble to them, sound bit like Scoobies actually, which is a good thing.

No i dont do any work for checkpoint but i know who does.

 

PS If you need anymore work done on your car try Motorwerks on Forest Lane there highly recommended and would be my choice.

Awesome! - I love these threads with loads of pics.  Not much of a reader me... sadly the car has too many doors for my liking.  Oh and it's wrong wheel drive.

Do you do the detailing for Checkpoint as well, they mentioned to me they have a guy come in sometimes when I was getting my exhaust done?

Good work!

No still got it which is not a bad thing i had hoped the price would only really attract enthusiasts/genuine buyers but had a lot of time wasters, saying that i have 3 very keen people one coming from Belfast so im expecting it'll be gone soon.

 

Good luck with the search if i see anything ill shout you.

No. I'm looking for a saloon really as the coupe is more expensive but in my eyes no better. Same for goes for the sport. It cost quite a bit more but offeres nothing extra that I really value except the sports suspension.
However there aren't many looked after 4 drs around so I may end up with a sport coupe anyway as they seem to be cherished more so finding a good one is a lot easier.

I did ring someone about a car yesterday and left a message but they are yet to get back to me.

Have you sold yours yet? I saw on E36coupe.com that you have a fair bit of interest. I'm on there are Devil2575 BTW.

^^ I really based my pricing structure around £25-30/hour, but its very difficult to price a paint correction job by the hour so i offer fixed price of £595 whether it takes 20 hrs of 40 hrs, otherwise it can be confusing for customers.

No offence taken Peter. Found yourself a nice 328i yet?

Not really sure how to take that, but its not really that expensive when you consider the work involved, in this case around 35 HRS work over 4 days so as pointed out round figures of £20/hour-

Bare in mind also that this process is also the next step down from a respray which on a car like the RS4 would be thousands.

 

Gav

I missed the bit at the end where it said 35 hours!

That might go some way to explaining the cost.

In that case your selling your services cheap!

No offence intended

Are you? £17 per hour... (and that ignores the materials costs, insurance, premises etc.)
