The Scottish Forum Compact has some mods...

It's been in my workshop for a wee while and has now had a few mods - whaddya think?



I think the mods suit it fine.....

It's better looking than the standard one.

i see that is a 2001 and a half model year. I like the rear lights and the back to basics interior.

Not too sure about the blue paint, Trevor...........

Would have been perfect for Martin - 50% Le Mans Blue, 50% Imola Red. But probably a bit lacking in FG?

It looks like the air-conditioning system is pretty comprehensive.

Doesn't look like 50-50 either. Looks more like 60% blue and 40% red.

What's wrong with it? Should it be a tone or two darker, d'ya think?

By the way, I was pretty pissed off when it was grafitti'd as it sat outside - mind you, Daisy's birthday party was pretty epic!

Great work, I am particularly liking the "homage" to the sharks fin aerial in the number board.

When does it get a run?

I saw that thread, I thought it was the "actual" BMW you used for banger racing...  but now I think about it, that was a saloon wasn't it?

Or am I just going mad?

I'm pretty sure the blue is Fiat Sprint Blue and the red is clearly from an Italian marque as well so basically we have someone who bought a German car and wished it was Italian

Good to see all the unreliable German bits have been removed as well

The Beemer I used was a 4-door E36....

The one in this thread is different to the one in the original thread (which is LHD). The one in the original thread is, well, little more than a toy for us here in the Scottish contingent...
