Congrats and welcome! Like you, it took me a while to find my 335...roughly a year. But good things come to those who wait.

Looking good!

Many Thanks.

Awesome job on the car mate. I spent around 2 years finding the right car. Also didn't help that I used some of the loan money for some holidays and then had to borrow more.

The 335D is a monster! Massive torque if you remap or juice box it!

I was considering plastidipping my wheels black but I think I'll get some CSL replicas in matt grey.

Have fun!
