New discs and pads on! What a knightmare, all 4 locating nut things for the discs rounded off while trying to losen them, so had to drill them out, and wack a T50 torque into the soft metal i had chizzled to unscrew them.
Assuming itll take a bit for the brakes to bed in, as they dont feel as strong as before?
Pulls alot better now, as i think the old ones were fooked, and binding/sticking on.

Decided to have a go at relocating my switches today, to get ready for my carbon door cards coming, wanted to keep the O.E switches so...
First i butchered the wiring, then made a template out of carboard for the switch.
Then made a mock up out of some plastic to 100% make sure it would work.
Then i set about carefully cutting the switch panel that also has the dimmer switch on, end result is -
Still works the same as normal, just in a much better place, and easily reachable Looks better in the flesh, but meh, function over good looks

Not tackled the passenger side yet. Might ditch it completely, as I rarely have passengers.

Just stick the passenger side in the glovebox. But then if anything is in there, could open it etc.
TrackCar & F30 330d
Yeah, just hide all the wiring away then.
The good bit about my way of doing it is tha the passengers and driver can do their windows down

Looking good!
I had the same problem with my horn, just wired in a new button in the end!
Also if you need to fit the cat back in for the mot, it will fit onto the omp mid section and backbox, altho it barely sits in the mounts! Sounds proper lame with the cat in too lol (just had to do mine for the mot).

By law you need one for a road car.
Great project. Hope to get mine going again when I finish Uni in 5weeks.
Cage + seats, then get rid of ktec coils for better set up coilovers. Then charger or turbo or ITB
Im not going full stippd though, more a usable track/fast road car. Save weight were I can but not to the total detriment of drivin comfort.

What are they going to do kick it to open it lol! 
That's a perfectly good dash your hacking into though Chop away all the glove box and lower section that side. Have gusseted aluminium (sp) plate for the passenger foot rest with 1.5 inch barriers on either side, put the fuse box behind that and just have 2 bolts on the floor holding it in.
Like this, but not so f**king chunky and thick:

IMO.
You never cleaned these suede style inserts aswell did you?

Feed from the horn to one side of a switch (ran the horn feed through the grommet in the passenger footwell), other side of the switch goes to the battery. I've still got the standard horn, but I removed one of them. I made a bracket out of some 1mm aluminium to mount the new horn and used the earth from the old battery (I have a race one under my seat like you have). Works fine!
I just tied the button somewhere near the gearstick for the mot but will be relocating it to somewhere better when I can get the dash off. Will get a pic 2nite!
Pics would be good mate thanks
Sweet! nice one mate!

What cage are you looking into getting?
MOT passed, needed ball joint, and a new horn
Full cage if possible, probably an OMP one from ebay
