RedDevil Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Bad day today went to national tyres in high wycombe and sump bolt snapped off had to get AA to recover me and getting local garage to sort it on Monday. This is the second time in 5 years they have snapped sump bolt off never going there again I will rather pay more for oil and filter and know it has done properly.

RedDevil Posted April 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 The main thing letting my interior down was the gear-knob emblem where the backing was coming away I was going to swap it for my new leather BMW knob but it has a clubsport gear knob fitted so I bought a new genuine BMW emblem. Before enblem off new one fitted with protective cover Finished Next up is to put on missing fog light surround and fit new black grilles im still waiting for them to turn up, Also get rid of the carbon cube which is in really good condition but i just dont like it so like my imola coupe will be aluminium TriggerFish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriggerFish Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 New alternator? Didn't know it needed one? Did it result in another recovery? You must be on first name terms with the AA staff around Wycombe! (I called the breakdown people out of Saturday - they were with me in about 10 minutes. Very impressed.)

RedDevil Posted May 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Firstly I have finally received and fitted my new aux input so was able to fit my new brushed aluminium trim soooo much better than the carbon cube it lifts the interior and doesn't make it look cheap. Just need to respray my aux/usb holder as got scratched while in storage but for now happy I have aux just need to wire up my usb ports next. gaz-777 and TriggerFish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
