What did you do with your G42 today?

Coconut · 12-31-2022, 04:01 AM

I don't think a thread like this exists for the G42 yet? If not, I'll start:

Llumar FormulaOne Pinnacle 50% tint
Llumar Valor PPF on front end with partial hood
OEM M3/M4 red start button
OEM M3/M4 Competition gloss carbon fiber paddle shifters
OEM M Performance carbon fiber scuff plates

Rdurty2 · 12-31-2022, 05:11 AM

Nothing

BG42 · 12-31-2022, 06:37 AM

Maybe change topic to what you did or what did you do rather than buy, think it allows for more feedback. Like went for a canyon run, or washed and waxed snapped a couple of pics.

M240SLC · 12-31-2022, 08:00 PM

I didn't do jack. I haven't had to drive anywhere for a week. lol

MPR · 01-01-2023, 11:49 AM

Got in probably my last wash of the winter with the temp in the 50s

azuki · 01-01-2023, 12:09 PM

nothing- i'll start planning some trips maybe end of this month and feb

Vudumonkey25 · 01-01-2023, 12:15 PM

I installed the AutoTecknic items I got for Christmas

Carbon Fiber Cooling shroud (excellent fit)
Carbon Fiber Mirror caps (fitment good, signal cut out ok, pic is not fully installed just testing signal worked)
Smoked/sequential turn signals (works and looks great)
Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser (looks great, but the tabs on the side are trash)
Carbon Paddle Shifters (super easy to do)

Still need to do the side winglets and some other misc things

Same here except haven’t driven it for 2 weeks!

Vudumonkey25 where did you buy the paddle shifters, steering wheel trim, and mirror caps? Those are the next 3 cosmetic things on my list

Hapbob · 01-01-2023, 04:20 PM

The carbon fiber look around the center console is what?
Where did you get it and how was installation done?

Wheeltrim I bought from automodz which has had the website down so might be out of busniess

Cooling shroud was the best item I got from AutoTecknic. Fit was perfect. Need 13mm, t40?, and a trim tool for the rivets.

20-30min install

Lift the seal up
pop the rivets on the black plastic piece x4
Unclip the 3 clips I used a trim tool (left right center)
Lift the black cover out
take out the 6? 13mm bolts
take out the 2 t40
unclip the cable
remove the shorud
pop out those black thinks
put them in the carbon piece and reverse everything
torque spec is 28Nm

This thread I made for the oem strut retro fit has the manual and video on how to take out those parts

donnyfontaine · 01-01-2023, 09:27 PM

mine is bone stock, minus some carbon fiber bits on the interior. it's been snowy and freezing and rainy around here, but has been over 50 for the last few days so i did a nice hand wash today before going out of town for a few days. i usually wash mine every few weeks, but there's something more satisfying about washing it when it's actually dirty

pbw · 01-02-2023, 07:30 AM

Washed it, cleaned inside and out.

Nah, wasn’t me 😉. Some of the locals here like burning rubber in all sorts of cars..

Mine is almost done with the break in period so I can try them 😁

M240SLC · 01-06-2023, 07:28 PM

I took mine back to the dealer, because this shitbox is busted again.
