Ahh that sucks mate, those bastards are living the competition free life...MUTHAFUKKAS! The only real weapon you have against them is telling them that you will buy from east if you don't get your desired 15% off. (can push to 20% depending on the car)

Which car/spec you looking at?

ARREN! You wouldn't want me to leave Sydney, you already miss my presence when i can't make our regular meets uleh.

Two words - Eucalyptus Oil. Pick it up from Woolies/Coles for around $5. Perfect for cutting through goo/glue residue.

I got a few questions regarding a few things.

1) If i want to save money and not replace my caliper but to turn my stock caliper into a coloured caliper, is it better to paint them or to spray them?

2) Where can i buy the kit for either of them?

3) Is it possible to add gear shift paddles after i already picked up my car?

4) I am due to get tint-a-car tint installed to my car. i chose formula 1 (which is a little green). Anyone chose this one as well? Any comments about it?

THANKS!!!

Gear shift paddles can be added to any e90/e92. You will need a wheel fitted with the paddles (around $400 on ebay) and a wiring harness from Burger Motorsports (around $180).

Thats providing you already have a sports wheel with sports airbag. If not then you will need to factor in the airbag cost as well (around $500-700)

However while it only takes 2mins to remove the actual badge it takes much longer to pick off all the leftover gluey residue on there.

use WD40 to remove excessive glue residue
