Anything from 440ish to 500hp is realistic, if I build the engine I'll change the pulley size and try squeeze a few more psi from the charger to break the 500 barrier

Just a shame it rained! Indeed, loving the plate - makes a huge difference. You just need to learn how to drive now and not be so scared of it, me and paul will teach you.

Well thanks to the horrible weather and lack of sunlight I havent had much chance to update with photos etc.. I braved it this afternoon for a few snaps:
A quick snap of the replaced center console:
Before (cracked button surrounds and scratches around the leccy window switches:
After:
Also got hold of somenew foils for the engine bay (to protect the paint), these will be going on when I source some primer
The fixed spot welds by BMW after my uprated diff mount was fitted:
Annoyingly it appears on one of the welds they didnt clean the rust off before spraying as you can see below so the rust has surfaced on the paint
Also I managed to pick up a personalised plate on ebay
Finally something to put a downer on things, for the first time ever I kerbed a rim...absolutely gutted, I was trying to avoid deep puddles on a driveway, this will be getting a refurb asap
