RichS Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 I filled it up with petrol and put 3 new CDs in the changer. This is the most my car has had done in a week, at least since the last petrol station visit. RockNRoll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerFish Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Booked the E30 in for an MOT, took it off axle stands and took it for a quick test drive up the farm track. All seems good! Ashley1995 and The_Judge_ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MangoMan Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I had noticed when I bought the car that 2 of the Door Handle Button Covers, (though not really Buttons) were really loose - in actual fact both were barely being held on with D/S Tape. Anyway I went down to the local breakers, Silverlake's, because I had seen that there were 2 E46's of the same colour as mine but unfortunately when I got there the Door Handles were just plain black plastic. Anyway I removed them without breaking the 2 little Tabs top and bottom - you actually unscrew the 4mm Alan Bolt from inside the Door Jam that sits behind a Plastic Cover - you cannot remove them without doing this! And paid my £1.00... The car came with a Original BMW Basecoat/Clearcoat Paint Pots - the Base was fine but the Clear was finished - anyway I had a small aerosol of Clear Lacquer, and proceeded to paint the Basecoat with the little Brush and then sprayed them with Lacquer. I'm going to give them 24 hours to hard-dry before fitting. But I reckon the best one pound spent...:D TriggerFish and alan53 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriggerFish Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I could but a male model for mine if that floats your boat? I'd rather have an e31 8 series personally, but too late for that now! MangoMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Sent from my Note 4 using tapatalk A shade over £500, as i'm getting another ding pushed out of the same door. That ding has been there since i bought the car and wasn't that noticeable, but if i'm the paint damage repaired, stupid not to have the ding damaged. I can't afford to go through insurance, as i already have 6 claims in a little over 3 years and a £600 excess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MangoMan Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Decided to fit my old Blitz Filter I had laying around. Also made a temporary partition under the bonnet until I get a proper one made. It certainly made a big difference on other cars I had fitted it to, we'll have to see..... Nothing ventured nothing gained. Also placed a vinyl transfer on the bonnet. Now let's see if I can attach photo's on tapatalk... Sent from my Xperia Z Ultra on tapatalk.
