Working from home today, so it seemed rude not to give the car a quick wash, and fit something I've had lying around for a while but have been putting off doing (due to it being something you can get very wrong) - the wind deflector.

The zed was quite dirty (not that it shows on a silver motor), thankfully a mate sorted me some photos of his uncles wind deflector so I could fit it in the right place, making my life easier. Cheers dude.

Some wanted some better pictures of the wheels, so hopefully these fulfil the requirements.

After:

Wash with 2BM and topped up with some more wax, I even remembered the tyre shine!

And the wind deflector, I hate drilling into your car...

Drilled bracket:

In place, just clips in and out and can clip into a bracket on the underside of the boot lid for storage :cool:

Xenons next, then, who knows?

Commets and crit welcome.
 
Thanks mate, that was a before photo, cleaned off, touch of polish and it was long gone.
 
Very nice indeed :thumbsup:

Looking forward to seeing it at the weekend - best keep an eye on those wheels though. I want 'em :D

You may have shamed me into washing mine quickly tomorrow now :roll:
 
Cheers Binglesby (I can see this catching on).

Don't make it too clean, I wouldn't want to get my grubby paw prints on it when it's all shiny, I'll be careful :roll:

I'd better fit some locking wheel nuts now.. :rofl:
 
So to fix the brackets onto the hoops you use self-tapping screws or what? Also can you please post pic of this boot lid bracket please? :poke:
 
I'll sort a picture out yes. It's a kit from BMW though and is about a tenner.

With regards to the fitting, BMW supply screws, but they're actually too long to just drill a small hole (3mm) and let the screw do the work.

So, you can either cut the screws down, not a lot of hassle, they're only small, or I happened to have some perfect ones lying around from an old Clio spoiler fixing I did.
 
Just been out with the top down, not sure why everyone says the wind deflector does nothing... I'm pretty impressed with the reduced wind in the cabin!
