For a laugh I test-fit a couple of these Lenso BSX wheels I've had sitting in my back garden for a while onto my car. I like the look but I don't like the poke (they're ET20 and are only wearing 205/45/17 tyres), so they won't be staying. Just a bit of fun. Now I can go back to dreaming about some nice MV2s instead.
Mr Tidy said:I bought my current Z4 in 2019 and thought the rear window looked pretty dark, but then it had the Sun Protection Glass option.
But the view from the interior mirror always looked a bit blurred, especially at night and I realised a previous owner had got a dark film applied. Then it started to bubble in places and things got more blurry.

I was going to meet a mate for lunch and he had a heat gun so I went over a bit early and got the film off.

But because of the sticky residue from the film I can't see anything in the rear view mirror now, so tomorrow's job will be getting rid of that with some cellulose thinners!
Mine has an aftermarket tint, I’m in two minds about keeping it. There is one bubble which is annoying.
At this point any decent product would do the job in my car - the steering wheel and seats were repainted last year (seats were 2 years ago)3gGT01 said:x-driver said:
Looks good, any special products you recommend?
I'm using FX protect Leather kit, but honestly I believe there are better products out there. At this time I only used FX cleaner, I didn't used their conditioner afterwards because I didn't like it the previous time. It comes as a spray and has a weird smell.
Instead I used a grease like product from Renapur. Liked the effect much more than from FX protect
For other surfaces I used the Pearl waterless universal cleaner.
Did a general interior cleaning and conditioning.

You guys get some products I'm not familiar with, but apparently work very well.

Yep, that's the case! She doesn't want me breaking it... like my other cars. Completely rebuilding everything on my NSX right now. It has 24 radiator hoses and I have all of them now and starting to replace them. But also replacing every o-ring and seal on the engine and rebuilding the transmission with the Japanese gearing for 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear. Will keep it in VTEC with the lower gearing.
