    Thanks for the input everyone. I have changed the site around. If anyone is keen, check it out again www.bavarianspeed.com.au The colours I did keep the same for the time being but I have adjusted the 'our story' and the product pages.

    Thankyou for your comments! I will run some of those colours through and see how it looks. That's true. I'm not in it just to make money, I am in it to build cars and teach my kids about them. All profits, eventually, will be going into creating a beautiful E30!

    Agreed on product page layout. Trying to out source someone to sort this out. Template I am using allows little adjustment. Thankyou for your feedback.

    The colour combination I have gone with are the colours present in the iconic M badge. Maybe I can tone these done a bit. The about us page. I do agree. It shouts boring to begin with and my story is lacking. I took the approach of talk less about me and more about what we can do for the...

    It is possible to get these made locally. At the moment though, the minimum order size would be the most prohibitive factor due to funding. I decided to call the supplier directly and have a good conversation with their team about my situation in regards to a couple of products. They are very...

    Website for Car Enthusiasts - Anyone do similar?

    What Kid has said... Probably even develop my own parts in the background, when I have enough - I'll probably cut my ties with the supplier and introduce my own product. Long term goal. I think a presence in the scene is definitely important. I currently have one of the model cars I am...

    It is replacement and tuning parts for a particular car scene. I think you are definitely right that developing my own products will require stringent quality standards. Initially I plan to purchase through a supplier located in USA, initial wholesaling discount is around 25% for this supplier...

There is a lack of supply here in Australia for a...

    Australian Property Market

    Mate, things haven't changed. I have had a friend of mine call me last year to tell me the cornice in the laundry just fell off. I went and checked it out, sure enough - the cornice around half the laundry had fallen off because it was only held on by 2 spots of cornice glue. Dodgy. Not to...

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    I'm on the outskirts of Sydney, we are seeing similar. Market seems to be relatively strong at the moment, low end stock seems to be moving pretty quickly with little discount, if any. Even a good amount of higher end property has been selling pretty well. We have been considering selling our...

    Investing in a classic car?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Have had a look at these that you are talking about. I think they do seem of good value at the moment and can only go up. Another is B5 RS4's, although alot of examples seem to be high kms but they are definitely on the rise. If I had money to burn, I would be getting one for sure.
