Davy in your 2nd picture if you moved the indicator stalk left or right a plastic peg sticks out towards the column, on the piece on the column there's a lug which when turned by the steering wheel flicks the plastic peg and cancels the indicator. If you take it apart you'll see how it works easily enough mate.

Not even sure the difference is visable on here but its day/night in person.
One thing led to another so we had a little brazilian wax:
Now for a nice drive out, she needs a fresh tank of Vpower and we need a nice indian meal

I'm not quite sure, I will fit it on a hot day and let the sun warm it up before I try and put it down. Then maybe let it stay down for a few weeks to form the crease in the right place. Once it's all sorted I use the rear window cover and a thick foam pipe to keep it from scratching or bending too much when it goes down.
The mrs normally guides it down.

Removed the rusted half leftover exhaust bracket today, it's already stopped rattling so that's definately the cause. I wont be driving it till the new one is fitted and ive emailed sopers about the parts. Fingers crossed I get them this week!

New bracket came, it looks huge. But it should be the right one... fitting tonight
Car looks great Davy. Your a brave man having a go with the window fitting, good luck to you with that one. I do like your storage system for hard top, clever stuff.

Bracket on. And a cool little shark on the tyres I just noticed
That bracket you replaced is actually an MOT failure if you get BMW to do it. On my old M it used to catch all the time must of replaced it twice a year
If anyone gets their car failed due to that bracket broken or missing ask for an appeal form and contact the DVSA. An advisory at best.
