What have you done to your car today?

Fitted (temporarily) a cd changer, courtesy of jamie_z4.

I then Removed half the boot carpet because i had a swimming pool in the o/s rear corner. Lastly, i removed the front bumper and both headlamps to find the source of an issue. Pile of rubbish

 

[no fit state]

Mot day today and another pass with no advisories. Not bad for a car coming up to 12 years old.

They look great. I had a similar looking set on my E36 touring. Great looking wheel IMHO.

Along with broken suspension, i also have a headlight beam that faces downwards :lol: I can only assume it was caused by a pothole as the housing inside the headlamps has cracked into 2 pieces.

Only halogens on mine. I could see the part that had snapped off. I've superglued it for now, but i don't think it will work correctly. It's just a temp fix to stop the headlight wobbling inside the housing.

You can get a repair kit from the Dealers, comes with brackets and screws.

Not for one of these:

It seems the superglue has worked, so i was able to refit the headlamp and raise the beam height. I doubt that will last forever though, so will still be on the lookout for another headlamp.

Also managed to swap over my pre-facelift heater controls to a facelift set today. I done this a few months ago and somehow broke a small part on the circuit board inside. Today, i was much more careful and now the facelift controls work perfectly

Gradually working my way down the list of problems :lol:

I've left the boot like this for now. Kept getting a small puddle forming whenever it rained heavily in that small crevice at the bottom right. Carpets dry now, so will see what happens in future.

I had to rip part of that foam off as it was soaking wet.

Think you need the orientation to be correct at the source before you upload. I love those wheels, I'm so torn between keeping my 326's or getting a rep set of these.

There appears to be something wrong with the forum uploader. My photo's did the same, despite me making sure they were the correct way up before uploading them.
