Greatly appreciate the continued time and effort to update (and maintain) this site sp3ctre. Looking forward to what comes next!

Hi all, I'm looking for an aero front bumper. Anything considered, however a good condition black sapphire with holes for headlight washers, grills, fogs etc. would be top of the list. If not Black Sapphire, then the emphasis on condition doesn't matter quite as much as it will be getting...

Some stunning machines there, and love the carbon/aero mods - a credit to your workmanship!

....continued (told you I've too many) 2013 Defy 1 - bought as a winter bike in 2021. Faultless, easy to maintain. It's now sitting on my turbo trainer, where it shall remain. 2013 Boardman FS Pro 650 - The only bike on this list that is not still in my possession. I had 2 x Giant Talon...

I've a few (probably too many) bikes, split across Road and MTB. Most of my social circle are roadies, so the bike breakdown is skewed in that direction as well (although I'm hoping to convert some of them to off-road advocates in the new year, so I'll have more people to ride with then). My...

I've not mastered getting it into the boot yet, however I will try the derailleur removal step that Meds mentioned! Any day that I get to use the Z4 AND the bike, is a good day.

If I have two bumpers, both with damage, albeit in separate places, how likely is it that the two can be amalgamated into a single bumper by a body shop? Context: One bumper is cosmetically good from the front, however the sections where it attaches to the wings and the wheel arch liners have...

Are there any jobs/preventative maintenance/upgrades worth considering if I'm taking the door cards off? Tips/tricks/lessons learned for taking the door cards off would also be of interest. The trifecta is back. Again. Condensation is showing on the windows, and the drivers side footwell is...

Impressive! Would be interested to know how you managed this. The absence of suspension on the front forks and the type of tyres makes me think this is a CX bike? So, presumably, you have drop bars on the front? Did you need to remove/loosen them, or could you make it fit as it? (I brought my...

Condition is important, Barty - you should have bought...........Mint Aero's :rofl: (I'll get my coat) Loving the insta trip updates. Spectacular scenery, much envy/wanderlust. Hoping to tackle it next year on the bike.

A busy/messy/leafy afternoon.... I did the what-a-great-way-to-find-old-leaves job, aka changing cabin filter (replaced with mann) and afterwards did the noise generator mod. The filter I removed was stamped August 2013 so, combined with the amount of free leaves, pretty safe to assume it...

I have the stalk, just need the loom. If anyone has one they're willing to part with (ideally with installation instructions), or can point me in the correct direction, that'd be great.

Evening all, Hoping some among you may have some info on potential issues/things I can check based on what I'm experiencing lately. 2014, F10 520D, auto with B47 engine (~150k miles) In the past 2 weeks I've noticed a vibration sound when the car is stationary and I put it into gear. When...

Top marks Mau, that's a great guide! Maybe you could add it to the how-to section, as I'm sure others would be interested.

I love scrolling through this thread, and so should probably add my own contribution. My "collection" isn't reflective of how much I'm fascinated by watches (yet), but you have to start somewhere..... 2013 Hamilton Jazzmaster Open Heart with original strap and pin buckle - my first foray into...
