Noooo...

the black car has M3 CSL Wheels and the silver car M3 wheels.

I first thought it might have been a M3 with a CSL style bumper and bootlid, but thats not the case going by the details posted below the image

Possibly his 'winter wheels' ... ?

I know a man who has a CSL. He keeps his CSL wheels on slick tyres for the track and has a set of normal m3 wheels and tyres for his daily driving. I had a passenger run in it around Mondello on the slicks in the pouring rain:eek::D:D

I come across alot of people who use 'winter wheels' - especially makes sense if they use a different set of tyres for the track.

I've seen a good few people who put halfords generic matts over their OEM matts around this time of year too.

Winter wheels makes sense i suppose.Am i alone in thinking the standard M3 wheels are manky? it could be that with so many reps around have just become a bit played out.Kind of like the Audi Rs6 wheel,lovely wheel but just so sick of looking at it

Only my opinion,rant over - Drive on.....

I like the 19inch ones (M3 wheels in the first pics) to be honest. The 18 inch ones are shocking bad... i don't know who actually forgot to spec the 19s when buying the car but they should be shot.

Yuk.

95 Ford Mondeo, came in for a Full Test a couple of weeks ago, look at the brake discs:eek:

But at least someone had the time to put in a new anti roll bar link, according to the owner, the car had just been serviced...

How could they even stop the car? Were the pads not touching themselves? The noise must have been unreal.
Cool pic BTW.

My ears are hurting just looking at it. What sort of mileage is on this and was it out for a few track days, how in the hell could you destroy the discs that much?

In fairness, the NCT may be almost two years old whereas that damage could be more recent but I get your point!

Neither had I, 95% sure it was legit and not a replica but I didn't get a full on look at it.

'96 Mayo plate made me laugh though!!
