What have you done to your car today?

Removed my temporary wheels and replaced with a set of style 641M M3 winter wheels, still got winter tyres on but aiming to replace with a set of Continentals. My favourite wheels on the car so far :)

That’s hot! Love that blue shade and the wheels are a perfect match.
 
Front suspension refresh (bushes, shocks, top mounts etc.), 3.0 front brake upgrade and CDV delete at RBM Hampshire in the morning. MR in the foreground having rod bearings done I think.

MOT in the afternoon which she passed with zero advisories. Only ever failed one MOT for broken rear coils.

Drives lovely now and no more squealing brakes! Got home and all of a sudden my PDC (which was broken) started working :D might have been the rain shower I got caught in on the way home!?

Just dropped off my coupe at my local dealer for its first service under my ownership today:

It's in for an Inspection 1 and brake fluid service, picking it back up tomorrow.
 
Today I cleaned my car down, including the interior…only for me to take my eldest son to cubs and it p*ss down in the 10 minutes it took to drive him there (it stopped 2 mins after the car went back in the garage) :headbang:

[ref]jock156[/ref], look at the way they have pulled the leather tight down into the recesses of the spokes. That should give problems at all with fitting the spokes back in.
I also note that this one is completely bare, no looms and no horn ring or springs either.
Won't take more than an extra 5 minutes, so we may as well strip yours right back like that as well.

Yes I took everything off as very easy to do and I have removed the rubber covering on the trim panels and sprayed them matt black . I took a few photos as I was removing bits just to make sure I knew how to put it back together again :D

Thank you :D
 
20230420_182838.jpgAfter replacing the rear panels I've finally been able to replace the front wings, doors and front bumper whilst I was as it. No more dents or surface rust. Car finally looks as I wanted her to!
