Finally got round to fitting my aerial gasket.
Removed the side trim and disconnected the 3 cables from the GPS
Undid the 22mm nut
Cleaned up all the cabling with brake cleaner, cable tied the cables together and rerouted them into their proper clips. Gasket pushed on and the nut retightened...
Buy new and get an Rstuner. Used to be the go to thing to do years back! Going off feedback henks a bit of a t**t when it comes to used tuners so ifs not worth the hassle as he is often not giving you unlock codes on tuners you just bought
As the spoiler is a genuine rep it requires shorter struts to avoid it hitting the roof. I picked up some BMW 1 series bonnet struts as I'd read these are the perfect size and they were only £15 posted for the pair.
As they were used they had some slight rust on the bottom edge and some...
Yeah, don't buy that. Love how he says it's been patched up but when you ask for photos he says it is minor and nothing to worry about.
He just wants you to go as you've already admitted to him if you turn up you'll buy it.
I've heard ph1s are a lot less refined than a ph2 so just bare that...
Looks ace and loving your attention to detail.
Only the black xenon front, they're not as dark as the non xenon black inserts which I found weird! They do come up on occasion, i have a pair but they're only good for spares I'm afraid.
Take a grinder and carefully grind off the captive on the left over bit of metal, then just hammer it through.
Or try mole grips on the exposed thread, however it looks fucked anyway.
Last but not least, weld a nut onto the face of the ruined bolt
For reference it's -
Anthracite = ANTRACITE 649 F 35204559 COL.SEBINO (Sebino is the name of the paint supplier)
ALSO THE CLEAR COAT IS SEBINO CODE 35209065
Turn the key all the way (just before it turns over the car), then leave it there for a minute. Turn the key all the way back to off, then try starting it again.
Have you checked the nut is tight on your negative terminal by the way? That loosens off stopping it from starting.
Got the new 2118s on this evening.
Made the car look a lot fresher as they're slightly lighter than the ones that came off. Need to paint my centre caps next :)
Oh hai.
Yeah that is my car. I'm running 2118s, with b14s and 20mm front spacers/10mm rear hub spacers.
Stud and nut kit all round.
Thanks for the kind words ?
What are these made out of? The rubber on the new balljoints for my spitfire have split already from zero use, would you consider making and selling some or are they available to buy elsewhere?
