As I've worked on german cars for the last eight years or so I should have guessed that the first one I owned would end up like this sooner or later.....I just hopped it would be later 
The thing is the day before it overheated I borrowed a van from work and drove a five hour round trip to collect a second hand silver bonnet and wing from ebay (£30.00) to replace the peeling laquerd ones fitted at the momment. Cheeper than having the old ones repainted, or so I thought, only to find that they weren't bloody silver at all >:.( so now I have
1: A very large cylinder head shaped paper weight.
2: A rather large BMW shape ornament in my parents garden.
3: A selection of assorted broken studs and bolts!
4: A spare pair of graffite grey wings and bonnet (could make a great sledge if it snows again!)
5: A rather empty wallet
So what I'm after is some insperation to get back on with fixing it.
I'm thinking satin black bonnet possibly with a stripe or two and I've got some Gulf & 76 stickers kicking about.
What do you guys think?
Euro style 7series anyone?
