TriggerFish Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 It's freezing here. Went for an Indian last night and had to de-ice the car when leaving. Cold and rainy today. Today though, I redyed the seat base on my E30 driver's seat, after messing it up last time and getting a load of dust stuck under the sealant.

GRE608Y Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Today I swore angrily at the 18mm pinch bolts on my front struts. I absolutely cannot undo them! I'm trying to fit my coilovers so I'm currently stuck with just the rears fitted! I searched everywhere for an 18mm impact socket to prevent the bolt rounding off (as it's currently doing) I've tried heating them with a blowtorch, wd40, breaker bar. Short of taking it to a mechanic I don't know what to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee330Ci Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Decided to clear the loft and found and old pc, so whilst reading the diy aux guide got the idea to build an aux lead. All done but s**tty rain dictates that I'll have to wait and see if it actually works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L4nky808 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Picked up some A5 exhaust trims. Perfect fit, but they are slashed down instead of being flat like the standard trims. I'm not sure I like them yet but will make my decision once I've modded the one on the righthand side to go over the flap mechanism. Not sure how they differ to the A4 trims. Also took the CS splitters off. I've always been a bit 50/50 on them so decided to get rid and give them to a mate. Surprisingly they look far better against his silver-grey vert Edited February 22, 2015 by L4nky808 Arnold, Dsport and Jay. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoin Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Replaced the rechargeable battery in my spare keyfob so now I have a working spare key. In the process of trying to fix the bootlid door solenoid ive broken the bootlid taillights. I've a feeling I've a few broken wires in flexi at the boot hinge so that's another job to add to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
