Gave the poor girl a wash today. After being stuck in the garage for the last 6 months whilst I completed audio and wrapping projects she deserved a bit of love.
Then I fitted some graphics to the sill, using wrap and knifeless tape. Thoughts?

Looks fantastic - I really do like the shape of the E86s!

Fitted some LeatherZ door armrests, still undecided on the centre armrest as it covers up my aftermarket handbrake gaiter

Lovely. Been going to do this for a long old time.
Was interested to see in a video yesterday that if you replace the slide bushings with brass sleeves, then you don't need the outer (silver) clips anymore. My car's going to Ross next week for a brake fluid flush, so I might tackle this project after that.

Nice,
I painted my rear's red last weekend (replacing and painting front callipers, pads and discs this weekend).
I went for painting the clip red too.

Sounds interesting- could you show me a pic of the part- I think the breaks would look loads better without the clip.

OK, on this page it included a how-to video that I watched and in the video he states you don't need the clips anymore.

I like them but I don't think they are for me. I would want the holes that the clips fit into filled in and painted off (if that makes sense).
Here is one of mine in rosso corsa- bit bright right now but I am sure it will calm down when it gets a coat of dust on it.

You could probably get rubber caps to block off the holes. I'll have a look.

In our mind the length could be longer to the rear, as this area often suffers from stone peppering. Phoenix is a hard colour to photograph, seeing this colour in the flesh it is quite excitingZ4C_er wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 9:06 pm Gave the poor girl a wash today.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I had already fitted protective film just behind the graphic, so there is only a small gap of exposed paint now.BTZ461 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 11:11 amIn our mind the length could be longer to the rear, as this area often suffers from stone peppering.

Went to get fuel, before we get on the ferry tomorrow (Early muster, for an 0800 sail..) and the Airbag light has come on!
I figure as I disconnected the door airbags (Probably didn't need to) it has thrown this light, Tried using the Torque Pro app, but it didnt even register it. Any ideas on how to clear it?
