Took my side skirts off to straighten the bent jacking points, having just done my fuel filler rust I thought i might as well carry on.
Quite pleased with what I found except where grit has rubbed through the paint slightly where the top of the skirt meets the sill so I might have to rub some small areas back and touch up carefully. Several coats of Deox gel going on

Headlight washers?
Any good? Might pop a set on mines ?
Definitely get a better spread on the windscreen. Found a video on YT so you can see how they work:
Much better will be ordering a set ?
I like.
nearly same colour as mines.
Wasn't sure but now I'm defo fitting just hope I'm not going to have any trouble with tints being fitted
Took both front hubs off the car to get the bearing replaced on one and the hub replaced on the other, got quoted £300 to do both by a garage. Only costing me £50 to get someone to press the old ones out and the new ones in for me.
Well worth the 4 hours to get them off

Changed the front discs and pads on the wife's car after 7 months of being fucked about by the garage that fitted the noisiest pads ever to a shopping car. If these start to squeal it's going in the river.
Old fucked ones, I'm guessing they didn't bother to check for any lip on the disc as both inner pads had a big step on the outer edge.

Gave the Cup a much needed bath. Was going to give it a proper going over with the machine polisher but patchy rain put paid to that. It really is in need of some paintwork correction.
Ended up using some old Jeffs Werkstat stuff I had kicking about instead.
Fitted some camber bolts yesterday and set the alignment up on it too.

What’s the crack with phase one airboxes?

They supposedly flow better, but for me it’s the induction noise.
Sounds much better than with the original air box without being offensively loud like an open cone filter.

Only this one, I can get some more later. I bought 3m of 1.5m wide suede off Ebay and some trimfix. I have done a few cars in the past that I used to own, always prefer darker coloured headlinings. I painted the handles, sun visors and light surround with Halfords satin black paint, with some plastic primer underneath.

Finally got it fitted!
Looking forward to the videos with your thoughts on road and track use for the m140i!

Did you glue the headlining back in or just rely on the grab handles etc to hold it up, I did the latter but my redo it as it's a bit loose feeling
Yes, but not in the usual sense. It's fast but not ballistic, it handles well but it's not as good as a 1*2, it's the sense of occasion and the noise that makes it an event. It gets quite a lot of attention everywhere it goes.

No, I pulled the headlining out on a hot day and all the glue came with it, wasn't really doing much and only a small amount was on there. Seems solid where I've put it back in, didn't see any need. I reckon they used to stick them to the roof during assembly to make putting the rest of the interior back in.
Big day for mine today as finally went for MOT after being sorned for a year while I saved the cash to buy everything needed to get it through the next mot. Have been using what little spare time I have to fit everything then it went off to the specialist for the big belt service & a few other bits beyond my capabilities.
It was a tense wait while it was going through... but it passed with no advisories! Was so chuffed as Mot testers said it looked great underneath & all were interested in the trophy’s suspension. They did ask where the cat from the exhaust had gone.... Finally get to drive my car again Feels great, so happy today.
