Finishing the fenders, front and rear bumper. Then install bumper lower inserts and rear spoiler. Arkym front lip was received but had to return as the lip was cracked in the middle. Noticed whoever the delivery driver was stacked multiple boxes on top as I can see how smashed it was. Glad the seller sent a picture of box before shipping as reference so my dispute with FedEx went smoothly and they are covering my $800.

I think the problem is dumb ass 8" tall hunks of rough-hewn stone existing as curbs more so than the skills of any driver ... of whatever gender.

Got an m sport center dome light with the alarm module motion cutouts.
Wonder how it will act now that the motion sensor can see the interior of the car.

Wow the Mickey Mouse flange was truly easy, many times I spend a lot more time than others post.

I followed the good recommendations to buy a hose shut off pliers, I believe they are Tekton all steel, worked very well

I then taped the teeth on my channel locks and crushed the clamp

The part on the block came out in pieces when I gently preyed the flange away

I used the Rein flange but bought the nice BMW hose clamps with no sharp edges

I can confirm you don’t need to drain the fluid but it makes a bit of mess even with rags. I hosed down the belt after

Also, the car has 150,000km I wouldn’t do it much earlier as it may be more difficult to brake. My N55 has 75,000km but is a pain to do because of the oil cooler lines so I will wait

Nice work, all.

I got my TPMS working again after a critter sabotage.

Front bumper, driver side skirt and rear center hatch left to wrap.

I just washed and waxed it then snapped a cellphone shot.

Tired of my BT aux receiver floating around and the mess of wires bunched up around it. Made a 3D print to house it and hide the wires underneath...

Everything finished before the show. 3 days to finish the wrap, powder the wheels, wrap interior trim in suede, and mold the spoiler with 3M panel bond for the clean permanent look. Took 1st in Best Wrap and Best Euro.

this is a big deal - tell us a bit about the show, about how long you had been prepping to show your ride, etc, etc.

Congrats on the placings, looks well deserved!

I installed new thrust arms, wishbones, struts, and tie rods last week and when I removed the undertray I noticed a small hex head bolt sitting there. It wasn't too hard to find where it came from - one of the water pump bolts had fallen out. This was the one directly under the swaybar, so perhaps whoever worked on it last couldn't tighten it properly? I added it back with a bit of blue loctite and made sure the other bolts were torqued.

My AC stopped blowing so I bought an eBay $50 after marked unit. The old one came out and the new one went in with no issues. I now have AC again! Now to see how long this Chinese unit lasts. BTW the old one had pretty much seized. I guess it threw a bearing.
