Yellow M3

Guys this car is now for sale, 97 model, 78k kms on the clock, owner wants R150k for it. If I was in the position right now, you would see my post "My new M3" but unfortunately it just cant be so right now PM me for details if you are interested

Unfortunately my camera batt was very low on Sun, so I only took after pics of the car

For those of you that are wondering, this is a 97 model, with 78k on the clock.

And please bear in mind that this is single stage paint and will never have the same reflective qualities of paint with a clear coat.

Here they are.....

Looking good Poor Boys, that car looks to have been kept in really good consition

I've already called shotgun on this car..... you keep your paws off

I'm gonna kick his butt if he sells it!

Nice job.

The only car that looks good in yellow that I can think of now is a lambo. The others don't look bad but not good.

Well done guys...pity Don FAILED on the battery front.

Nice work guys. Nothing better than an older lady that's been well kept and dresses stylishly .

I must admit - when I read the subject of the thread, I pictured Don and Megesh in the desert washing the trucks between stages

Lovely car. A bit too yellow for me though.

Must admit. The thread title had me thinking of a Pajero ...

do you have to be more careful when polishing single stage paint, are the swirls & scratches harder or easier to get rid of. or do you go ahead normally as if it had a clearcoat?

nice work again guys.

We pretty much went about as normal, the big difference was that the pads turned yellow as you polished

I did however notice that the swirls are much less apparent on single stage than in clear coated cars

Single stage paints are usually the same thickness a regular base coat/clear coat paint so I don't think it makes too much difference. Always work carefully when machine polishing though regardless of the paint type

Oh me oh my....looks in super condition. I want.....I want.....

You Boy`s definately did this well-kept old-girl justice. Nice !!

Love the rim shots.

Took the m3 to the raceline autofest...... CLEARLY it was a hit

Wait 'til your missus sees that...

No dude, the metal polish and stuff was in my car, which was left at Bloomsbury for the day.
