And there’s me thinking that the M of the cap should be aligned with the ///M insert learnt something new.
EERRMMMM,
Tony.
Tony.
Doesn't everyone do this?!
THAT airbox!!!!
Yes, I am.
I know, it's awesome. Shame Evolve don't remap the S50 any more
Yes great attention to detail
.Something I never would have thought about until you pointed it out when my wheels were repainted a few years back Tony.
Rhubarb is looking superb @Mnbrennan.
Just to come back on this, I saw a KW stand at one of the shows (I think it was at Gaydon or Santa Pod) so asked the guys about why my coilovers weren't clicking.
Apparently there was a changeover c. 2007 where they went from Koni inserts to a proprietary setup. One the pre 2007 shocks a quarter turn is equivalent to one click.
This makes me question whether I should change the suspension as its rather old now and looking a bit tired on the springs. I'll either go for new KWV3s or a bilstein setup. Thoughts on a postcard...
On the carbon airbox I was having a misfire issue at idle which I wasn't sure whether it was down to the airbox or some other issue. I connected up the diagnostics which suggest that there is an issue with injector 4. This had been noted in some of the history so may need to get them cleaned or go for new ones =(
I've also taken the front end apart to change the power steering loop. Due to the corrosion some of the hoses are in poor condition and need to be replaced. One if which is linked below

£300!!!!!!
Ill try and find some good second hand ones!
I've also found a used parcel shelf. I damaged the paint on the top when I came to the Cumbria show carrying a mountain bike
Finally I have taken new sills, new rear wings, new front wings and the existing front bumper in for paint. The plan is to then have them wrapped in PPF so that they'll last longer and look good for years to come (the PPF will self heal in case of scratches)
So plenty going on!
Yesterday I started to remove the outer panels (wings and sills) and I've made a start on getting the old power steering pipe out.
Good news is that the remedial work I did a couple of years ago it holding up. The outer sills, however, are well past their sell by date!

I'm very excited
I had to take the panels somewhere local due to the current car situation. The panels have been painted and the detailer who's going to PPF them has been over and said it's a very good colour match

I've just had a pair of new front wings delivered, got some sills on order from BMW that should hopefully be here next week then I need to get my old rear wings sorted also and they will go for paint along with the front bumper.
They look great, are they all new panels? Are the coupe rear wings also bolt on and off?

A great car just getting better
How come I only find this out through the forum?
suppose i shouldn't complain though,
I usually only hear first,...... if I have to do the work....
They are indeed All new panels other than 1 front wing
Are you putting any treatment on the rear of them?
