Well at least someone made a sale out of this thread! :D Justlovethelook - Yeah if noone shows up here with 2nd hand going cheap - birthday's in May so might put it on the wish list. Good to know that they sound worth it in terms of sprucing up the look. ESP - Thanks for the advice but...

Marchantsuk - Thanks for the thought but as Navid says - they won't fit the 2.0. Yeah I did have a look on ebay but not prepared to pay around £50 for them - seems extortionate for what they are. Might get the tin foil out instead... :wink:

Title says it all really. My exhaust looks a bit tired and think a cover would spruce it up a bit so if anyone was getting shot of one I'd be interested... Thanks.

I got a small graze on the corner of my front bumper repaired with a partial bumper spray for £70. Obviously I've inspected the work and seems unnoticable to me. This would have been slightly reduced as was getting some more complex work done at the same time.

Mine does similar. Bit of a thud from the last couple of inches. Like others, it makes a bit of a weirder noise right at the end. Almost a 'clicking' sound for a second. Seems smooth enough to me though.... famous last words!

Just thought I'd update this as picked my car up this morning. The hard bit was narrowing down where to go after the overwhelming response! :evil: But just in case it's of use to anyone I went here and would recommend them: http://www.abcautobodycare.co.uk/index.html I picked them as they...

Ahah...... well that I didn't know!! :evil: I'll have to test it when it's back from the bodyshop. Still think it looks cheap though, even though it may be more useful than I thought!

I had exactly this and think I solved it this weekend (fingers crossed). It was coming in at the rear of the window where it didn't seal tight enough against the...seal. You could see it creep in and run down the inside of the glass right in the corner (bottom left corner of the glass looking...

The pimple on the face of perfection that is that horrible plastic tumor on the bottom of the rear view mirror - alarm light I think!?

Good news - I'll be giving you a PM and booking you a taxi to Birmingham if it ever goes! :wink: Yeah - I think it had quite a few niggles so I've sorted something out on it every month since I bought it in September so it feels like it's needed a lot of work. New alloys (Old ones were...

This forum hasn't helped! I love the car but it's more the fear of reoccurring problems discussed on these forums (e.g. roof motor going) or getting a ding in a car park - I sometimes have to remind myself to just enjoy the moment of owning my (affordable) dream car and stop worrying about what...

It sounds like you got lucky and your later head unit was 'aux enabled' already. Can you remember if you used to be able to select aux as an option before plugging in your cable? The guy I spoke to seemed pretty knowledgeable and summed it up as: If you can already select aux on the stereo...

OK cheers for the help all. I'm a bit of a novice so to save having to splice anything I've gone for the one that basically tricks the unit into thinking it's the CD changer. Bit more £$ but it sounds simpler to me!

Just managed to get mine off in 15 mins which I was pretty pleased with for first attempt! Putting it all back together though - can someone advise if the bottom of the radio should be flush with the dash or if it sticks out by a few mm? I can't get the radio to slide back any further and the...

Hi, I know that this is a topic that gets done to death - but I'm mid purchase on a Aux cable: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-AUX-IPOD-MP3-MINI-1-3-5-SERIES-Z4-BUSINESS-PROFESSIONAL-/130627567456?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item1e6a027f60 The guy is saying my unit must have a quadlock...
