Don’t send Davros any Buckley
He openly confessed he had ( although briefly) fell out of love with he’s ZED !!!! Horrible man !!!!
Love ya really dave :thumbsup:

I love her again now Dave... honest. She just needed a quick wash and polish. I love the Zed too :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
 
No pics as I was rushed for time, but over the course of 3 days:

Drove from London to Aberdeenshire
Removed the rear bumper, arch liner and eventually the n/a rear quarter panel (after many hours of swearing at the hidden bolt)
Slotted the replacement wing in, and reassembled everything
Fixed the broken rear number plate lights and fixed the faulty parking sensors
T-Cutted all the rubber deposits from the accident off my n/s including the wheels
Found out about the micro-switch in the boot and how it operates (and how to disassemble and reassemble it)
Washed and polished it
Left it in Aberdeenshire as I had to return to London at short-notice; hopefully means when I go back to pick it up the weather will be much better up there and I can drive down the Cairngorms with the top down.

Looks nice. Hard work?

How much are they through BMW? Seen them for £70 each on the BMW eBay store.

Would these right to replace with?

Driven it - for the first time in some weeks... Glad it's no longer my daily now those Bilsteins are on though.. Firm, but bordering on TOO firm...

Took me about 90mins including some rust treatment I needed to do. Not particularly hard if you have the tools. I used oem dust shield and myele hd hub bearings. I’d check the part numbers though to be sure
 
Took one foam out the sound generator. Put it back in 10 mins later. Too old for that racket 😂
 
WP_20180818_08_03_45_Pro.jpgWP_20180818_08_04_11_Pro.jpgReceived the last of old batch gear knob off Buckley06. Do lucky he found one he had forgot about.
Hope to fit later, more pics to follow when fitted.
Thanks Olly.

Gave her a deep super resin and high gloss polish today.

I then sprayed the outer chrome grills black, to give it a more modern feel.

Could you do me a favour? Take a photo just of wheels, I'm liking the contrast and it's something that could work on my coupe.

Wheels all treated and polished.
Managed to remove the few small scratches as well, that were fortunately only surface😀C3752D9F-E0B4-4538-BF98-15862589EE4D.jpeg

Fitted an Echo Dot and now Alexa is working great :D The voice recognition is a lot better than the one on the idrive.

For anyone thinking of doing the same these two vids are easy to follow (Even for me) and the results are great.
