What have you done to your car today?

Today I've mainly been fitting a smart top module to my e89, couple of trim panels off in the boot & messing around with connector plugs and wrestling with the loom

All tidied away neatly and working as intended

A mouse scarer

I guess this is for when it's in hibernation.

Car is going back on the road 1st March, and hasnt been touched since it was driven back from France on the 30th October.

I like keeping my car clean, but also don't like putting wet cars away, especially for long period of time, so the zed went into hibernation, dry but dirty.

Pic first thing today, magnetic plate removed, gives you a good idea.

Snow foamed and left to dwell.

Rinsed. Car now about 99% clean without even touching it.

Finished.

I finished painting the grills today and fitted them, please with the outcome, the plastic dip finish is good for grills. While the were exposed I coated the 2 bars behind the grills where the original black paint had worn away. I still have the original Chrome/silver grills to swap back to should the mood take me.

Ordered new pads and discs for the rear to change over this weekend. They arrived mid week but driving to work Friday morning I knew there was more to do!.

Just before arriving at work I hear an almighty noise ( sounded like a stone hitting the drivers window) . After investigating I couldn't find anything wrong. Thanks to the forum I knew it had to be a rear spring. The ride height not changing threw me a little, i have to admit.

New MTEC pads and mintex pads fitted today and the culprit showed itself.

Ill post my concerns on the Discs after I've spoken to the supplier first though!!

After a couple of weeks, finished refurbing the wheels I got from z4m! Took a while but I'm happy with the result. Total material costs - £37.

Now the main thing, the car drives so much better on 18s! It's hard to believe tbh, it feels great! Other than the fact that the rear spring snapped, so that needs doing now.. !

Think my CSL Reps will soon be going for sale
