E86 Coupe Progress Thread: Exhaust Tips
The original tips can be a right bu**er to get off, there’s not much to hold on to. You just have to pull really hard. They’re easy enough to put back on (as you say, with a rubber mallet) and I wouldn’t expect the MM tips to be any different.Flyingfifer wrote: ↑Thu Jul 08, 2021 11:44 amYes thats the ticket, iirc there is a small clip to hold them on but it should just pop off
Looking forward to seeing a fitted pic.

E86 Coupe Progress Thread: US spec orange reflectors
Thanks to Zebedee for helping me decide and helping me spend money
Swapped the white front wing reflectors today to US spec orange ones (ordered from the US). Think they work much better with the Monaco Blue paintwork and bronze wheels.

E86 Coupe Progress Thread: Orange reflectors
Definitely. I’ll be swapping my clear side indicators for ambers on the weekend if they arrive in time. I’d do the orange hockey sticks as well, but I don’t think there’s a bi-xenon version.

I’m on the lookout for orange side indicators too - so if anyone is reading this and wants to swap for a set of clears, PM me

The orange reflectors are a bit improvement - I never liked the clear ones.
Although it's a shame they fitted any to non-US cars!

Coupes because stunning!

Timmyboybunter and Stuartt said they may have some. Oldgitdave doesn’t any more.
Your car is looking very nice.

Yes, I think it works pretty well. Now I look at the clear ones and they seem a bit fussy,

Not a lot of progress beyond my quest to ‘Amberfy’ the coupe, but I did take her out for a quick blast yesterday and every time I go to drive this thing I forget how much fun it is

You need to. You know you want to. I haven’t had a chance for a nice photo shoot yet, but here’s one with the ambers on.

I'd be up for swapping my orange headlights for clear.

Just did this on my Monaco blue Roadster, much cleaner without, now I need to take off the 2.0i badges they will never know!inkey$ wrote: ↑Tue Dec 08, 2020 12:53 pm Started to debadge the coupe today. Always been in two minds about this in the past (mainly due to owning ///M’s which I like badged up), but have to say, it looks really good IMO without.
Dental floss, GT85 on residue, loyalty card scraper and final polish up. You can still see a very slight outline but they will go after some dedicated detailing time.
Side 3.0 si badges next to go
