They dont look too bad, but I think the fact your car is clean as hell helps! Well done

Pixel8ed · 06-15-2017, 11:11 AM

Did some amber mitigation...
Just some vinyl for now. Not happy with it, but looks great from 10 feet away. At some point Im going to open the light and paint the reflector.

Bimmer 808 · 06-15-2017, 11:32 PM

buttons on steering wheel stopped working. replaced the clock spring and all good.

agustincuenca · 06-16-2017, 05:34 PM

Yesterday, front M3 control arms. Today, alignment and new tie rod because the old one was all rusty and siezed. The car handles incredible, really tight now. Front bumper out for re-painting. In 2 weeks I have a guy coming to do a 100% paint correction and detail on the car. That will likely be the finishing touch to my car. 08 335i.

mjn77 · 06-17-2017, 10:11 AM

It's been two years and 40k miles since i machine polished the car. There are fine swirls, marks, holograms from the day to day driving, washing, people walking past, parking on the street, busy car park at work, bashing their bags off the paint, etc.

This is not a full correction, no point, as there are a thousand stone chips in the paint, but simply an exercise in removing the holograms, fine scratches and to bring back some of the gloss of the individual paint (Azurite Black).

Sorry, no before photos, i forgot

I was only on planning on doing the bonnet and front wings today using Dodo Juice Spin Doctor Pro with 3M Ultrafine and 3M blue pad.

After polish, naked paint, nothing else

2 coats of Swissvax Onyx

But some big bird decided to use my car as target practice, so had to then tackle the boot!

Finally ordered the remaining pieces for my suspension overhaul.

M3 Arms F&R
Whiteline Rear Trailing Arm Bushings
Whiteline Rear Lower Control Arm Bushings
OEM Rear Wheel Carrier Ball Joints

To go along with:
Megan Adjustable Rear Toe Arms
Whiteline Subframe Bushings
Meyle HD Tie Rods
Bilstein B12 (already installed, w/ all new rubber)

It's going to feel like a new car. Can't wait!

GoRomeo · 06-19-2017, 03:33 PM

I changed my front rotors and pads. DYI'd of course...

Welcome to NBA Jam · 06-19-2017, 04:14 PM

Getting a very slight occasional clunk over bumps. Looks like it's time for new control arm bushings. At 93k miles, I'd say they did pretty well! It sucks that I just got an alignment a week ago...I might wait a while before I do it, unless it gets really bad. I'll give myself a max of 6 months.

Hmm, my car didn't come with those awful looking amber corner lights.

Not sure why you have it and I don't.
