here's the result and what it was like before I started :lol:
I spent 2.5 hours trying to get the whippy off, would it unscrew? hell no, its still on there
Sometimes previous owners glue them on, or it's just a corrosion thing. Either way, the aerial bases are not too expensive and can be reached from inside the boot - don't keep trying to use force to unscrew it, you can distort the fitting hole in the wing and make matters worse.

What are you unsure about? I rather like the look, although I do love gloss black, I think I would have gone for a graphite grey colour which might have looked better. Just my opinion, but still looks good though
I agree about the grey, the colour of the other wheels I have would be betterSwiftly said:Pastry said:Finally tried my 326’s on my Si and I’m not sold on the look..

I love the 326 wheel but for me the black just disappears into the wheel arch and the wheel is lost
Agree totally, lovely alloys but I think you have to be so careful when choosing black. The wheels are lost and do not pop out at you, that's for sure, which is the opposite of what you were hoping to achieve.Pastry said:I agree about the grey, the colour of the other wheels I have would be betterSwiftly said:Pastry said:Finally tried my 326’s on my Si and I’m not sold on the look..

Wheels are off to get refurbed and painted in shadow chrome. Just hope I like them 
Unfortunately, no. They are the little bumpers under the front of the hood(bonnet) that pop it up and also keep it from vibrating. The ejector seat mod costs $146,000 and is available from Lockheed Martin (not BMW), mine is on order. Trump has cut back on military spending so many more interesting mods will be available soon.... 8)Paulr said:mcbeee said:Ordered new hood buffers(with ejectors) today, only $33 for a pair..... pick em up tomorrow.
Is this some sort of James Bond mod?

It’s a standard feature on all new Aston Martins here I believe.
I wonder if wrapping the roof could cause any mishaps with the operation of the mechanism, some of these things are "delicate" to say the least. Expecting pics ...salb said:Gone in today to have the roof and bank bumper wrapped.......
Had to wash it and clean and then clay bar the roof and the rear bumper insert in the snow.
