Managed to get the Z4MC laser aligned using Hunter tech. Front o/s toe was off by a couple of minutes only but somewhat noticeable. Now it drives so much better and feels more planted :D

I sorned my car on the 31st October and the Dvla cheque arrived 4th November- today I attached the battery maintenance charger - and I suspect just in time as it showed 11.8 v at the start of the process.

Oh they are hilariously huge; 20 inch, don’t even want to know the width but those tyres are stretched more than Mrs. Incredible on a bungeejump

Gave the car a good clean, took it around the block to drain the water and left it in the sun to dry. Parked it up and put the new half cover on too, pleased with it.

The fresh paint on my E89 has had long enough to ‘Gas Out’ and cure now, so I’ve ordered another CarPro CQUK 3.0 kit to ceramic coat it over the weekend.

I’ll be doing a gentle polish with a very soft jeweling pad to remove any paint shop buffer trails, there aren’t many at all but might as well make it perfect. Followed by a wipe down with IPA, before applying the ceramic coating.

It’ll then stay snuggled up in the dry until next weekend for full curing :thumbsup:
