Early versions of the 108s had polished rims and painted centres. They changed to painted rims due to corrosion issues. These could be original.

I have 15mm on the rear of my E86, with standard wheel offsets, and I used the same spacers on my E85 with no problems. I found 20mm just a little bit too wide for my taste.

I thought they were heat bonded? I bought a replacement bumper which didn’t have them, and I was not able to transfer across from my existing bumper. Possibly just my bad memory (or incompetence), as it was quite a while ago.

Those Lesjofors look Ok. I have used them before. Best ones on Autodoc are probably the Suplex, which are a bit more expensive. You ride height at the back does look non-Msport, so you probably have the wrong springs on there currently.

Sadly, that will be each.

Good luck. They are integral with the bumper. I doubt you will find some.

2.5Si 216hp, 2.5i 177hp. Big difference. Your lava orange may be marmite to some, but I like it.

what do you need help with - the right part numbers, or finding a manifold? I am pretty sure that any N52 manifold with the second DISA valve will work. If you are buying off eBay, make sure you can see the second DISA, as I have seen plenty of adverts with pictures taken at dodgy angles to...

Hi @Bluejonny08 and welcome to the forum. N52s don’t tend to burn a lot of oil, although they can leak. A failing oil sensor will throw a code but it won’t trigger a warning light, so it helps to have a code reader and regularly check your codes (good practise as there are sensors all over the...

Now you’ve got it off, can you see what the problem was? The spring clips are very robust, so I would be surprised if either of them were damaged.

Hear, hear.

That is a cool piece of wall art. This stuff is good. Requires a bit of elbow grease though.

I’ll take it please, but I’m away atm. Can I hook up with you later?

Now I’d know it when it saw it, but what’s it for?

What is the Mickey Mouse flange?
