What have you done to your car today?

Changed the rear lights. Unsure whether to refit the the silver trims to the new lights 🤔

Now to decide whether to fit these or just stick with my 224's. I'm very indecisive today :headbang:

I left them off mine when I fitted the clear indicator rears. Looks miles better.
 
Removed the damaged front bumper, replaced the nearside splash guard with one I bought from synthedup on here. Also replaced both horns as the low tone one didn't work. So, the replacement splash guard was from a 2.0 & had a blank next to the outside air temp sensor. Mine has a disc with an electrical connection going to it. I had to snip the blank out so I could fit the disc thingy. What is it :?

I've stuck them back on but I did quite like them off. Watch this space :D

Ah, yes Jonathan that makes sense now :violent1: :rofl:
 
Thanks all, really pleased with the ride now. Pretty sure their the E46 mv2s. Stubby wasn't quite short enough when I bought it so popped it in the freezer :rofl:
 
Took out the Sat nav drive, replaced the lazer unit (£6.51), all works fine now reading all discs no lag from first turning car on. Well worth a bit of hassle :P

Cracking photos to demonstrate the differences Jamie. I've just got one question, the carbon black I can see its got a blue tint to it but is that a metallic colour as well? I cant quite tell from the photo.

Stunning Colour, looks so different as lighting conditions change, my daughter has a MX5 Z Sport in a similar colour and I love it ! :thumbsup:

I still, for the life of me, cannot understand why the blue tinted black isn't called Sapphire Black and the BLACK Black isn't Carbon Black?! :headbang:
 
Fitted a new pair of Michelin wiper blades as the passenger one was falling apart!

They certainly have a much neater looking fitting than the Tesco ones I took off. :oops:
 
Randomly decided to give the eBay search another whirl and found an M performance pedal set that looked the right shape.... AND listed to fit our E85/86.... AND it was a local seller/dealer...AND it was on clearance :D Didn't have to think twice.
