What have you done to your car today?

I cleaned up after my cat.

I had the bonnet up... witnessed my cat leap from the wall into the engine bay... he had a quick sniff and look around and then pissed all over the N52 goodness.

Very cool! How would you rate the finish? Heard the clear coat isn’t always briliant?

Hi Barty .
No its not a showroom finish like the diffuser but then it is a decent price for what it is . I don`t think they are clear coated just epoxy gelcoat . If you wanted a decent finish you would need to wet sand / clear /sand /clear and so on . The weave is also quite wavey and there are some bubbles. To me it does the job and is sold as a race part so is acceptable especially from 6 foot away

The cable in my nearside window regulator finally succumbed to corrosion and snapped yesterday. It was the original and almost 21 years old ! Managed to source a new complete regulator locally (not a cable repair kit) and fitted it this evening. Quite a straightforward job if a little bit fiddly. All greased up, adjusted and working very smoothly and quietly now. It's so smooth that when I get chance I'll strip the offside door down and inspect the regulator with a view to cleaning/greasing or replacing that side

Perhaps he is hinting that you should get a big cat

He did also jump in when I got in to move it... straight up the back, slipped through to the coupe's boot like the boot cover is one of those rat traps where the rat falls in a bucket... then out again in sheer panic when the engine fired up and the car started moving. My other car IDGAF, but I need to keep him from destroying the leather and boot cover in the Beamer... I must never let him in that car again (caveat - caged en route to vet is ok!)
