My 330cd slow going project.

Recommended Posts

Well the car has been in since Wednesday for the corrosion warranty. I was told I was getting it back Friday but on Friday got a phone call to say the bumpers, bonnet and doors were still off and it will be Wednesday till the body shop will be all done.

So that's a few more days driving the 5 door MINI one D I have, now with 400 miles on the clock.

Here are some pictures of the rust I took the morning of it going in. Will post up pictures when I get the BM back.

Well after putting a compliant in it seems that BMW are going to respray my car again. I went to a couple of other garages and they both said they could match the paint better that it was. So this was put in a e-mail to BMW customer services along with some pictures and it is to be done again now next month.

i am hoping to get the front bumper done at the same time.

Here are a couple of pics of how I got it back.

So I am after getting a few bits together as I will be on leave from work for about a month over Xmas so want to do some stuff to the 330cd.

I have swirl flap blanking plates ready to do that job, but some help please for other stuff.

I am going to go for the Eibach Pro Kit for lowering springs, have had a bushes changed over the last month or so, so I think I am ready. Is Ebay the best place/price for these?

Also want to fit halo rings to my headlights but really don't know what ones are the best. Doing some research just turned into a mind field. I don't want the colour changing ones, just the right ones for my facelift lights. Any help/links would really be great. I know I will have to get the hairdryer out to split my lights.

Thanks for the help.
