Today we had a Ferrari Testorrassa, F550, Galardo SE, Honda NSX, BMW 735i, 996 GT3, Renault Clio and my 550i. We travelled over 400kms and it was a fantastic day out. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Agree - great pics

Your ride looks great... apart from the front after picking up what looks like half of the Australian insect population! I get that everytime I drive to Holland - damned mosquitos - I sometimes think they deliberately target black polished BMWs

Unfortunately, they're not all insects. :thumbsdown: :'( I've suffered major stone chipping issues that will require me to repaint the front section of my car and get new head light covers. Once I have repainted it, the clear bra is going on..

Have a look, these were taken after it's been washed:

Sorry to hear that - I guess that's what happens when you have a load of super cars in front of you with big rear wheels throwing up all sorts of rubbish from the road - get them to bl**dy pay!

After winter I'll be getting mine polished to try and get rid of all the marks off of the front of mine. (It's a company car, so not going to pay for respray etc.)

Clear bra sounds like a smart idea, because you certainly don't want to be giving up those kind of cruises. I am jealous!

Yeah i have pretty much the same but what do you mean by healight covers? I thought this is a flow with the E60 head lights and that if you want to get rid of the chip marks you have to change the whole headlight.

So is only the cover available?
