Maybe try some on your thumb
Haha! I can definitely use it after each time wrenching on the car, since I don't like wearing gloves.

Added seat belt straps to see how I like them.

Liking the contrast.

A hugely overlooked maintenance step. Lithium grease your door hinges and you're set

I use Wurth Silicone Spray myself for all rubber seals (doors/trunk) Same stuff the dealerships stock, and as with any Wurth product, it always lives up to expectations.

Looks good! Are you going to paint the hood white?
So it's a real carbon fiber hood, I wrapped it in a satin clear bra. It was a test, I'm going to unwrap it and rewrap it with gloss clear bra. I like the exposed carbon fiber look personally!

Has anyone been able to find a similar wrap for a sport wheel? Not M-sport, just standard sport wheel. I am contemplating wrapping mine to retain my heating instead of switching to an M-sport wheel.

Replaced the OFHG on my wife's car.

Took the beauty cover off to see if I could figure out where the oil that is getting on the exhaust manifold is coming from. Seem both areas around coil 3 and 4 had a good amount of oil. So either I've got a cracked valve cover or for some reason the valvetronic motor gasket (that is damn near brand new) is leaking.

I do have the sport package.

I like the black ones because they dn't show my greasy fingerprints on them.

I wish the entire interior was charcoal really, but pickens are slim for e91s with sport seats and paddles.

Cruised at 100. Hit 120 a few times in straight aways. Feels nice around highway curves here at 100. Very casual.

Alphawerks, nice color. Killer wheels. Hello camberplates kat. You must report back on the improvement. Lost808, 20 k miles? Your engine will soon be broken in. Time to start modding it.

Don't think I will do any engine mods right now, the PPK 1 is good. Will do cosmetic mods for now👍🏻
