Probably, many people move it to the tow hook location to provide a cleaner look to the front grill. Or delete it altogether depending on state law / frequency with which police stop them // knocks on wood...

 

I added a alta 22mm rear sway bar and M7 strut tower brace to my r53.

 

I put a cigar lighter in the way-back, where a dummy plug once resided.

 

Back seat smoker!

 

I got to replace my shot control arm bushings and both frozen tie rods / align it.

I lucked out, my friend is an audi mechanic and helped me and let me use his lift and tools! (take that rain).

My old bushings came apart in pieces by hand... completely destroyed, and my toe was in on both tires almost a full degree.

Add a interior Mini logo lamp

I posted about this in the 1st Gen Forum.

NM CAI installed ...



Install was somewhat easy besides trying to squeeze my hands into tight areas.

I love the added noise and the now noticeable sound that the BOV makes.

Throttle response improved, cant say much for HP.

Nice set up for $250

 

Cleaned the maf sensor and ordered new spark plugs.

 

Got my new spark plugs NGK laser iridium's and finally got them installed after driving around for a while trying to find the right socket to get them out and in. My car pulls like it did when I first got it. Yayy.

 

I bought him a brand new key fob from the BMW hotline for $160. Much cheaper than getting it thru the dealer.

 

Belt line was blacked out, looks great. Next is my tune!

 

Gave my Clubbie a couple of new tats

 

Wrapped my headlight and taillight rings with gloss black vinyl

 

Came out great, why didn't you wrap the washer cover? I'm thinking of doing this with my inner rings surrounding the vents

 

Thanks! I thought about it, but thought it might not look right until I paint my headlight housings black. Maybe I'll give it a shot to see how it looks, I have a ton of leftover vinyl.

 

I installed my Carbon Fiber Inter-cooler Scoop, Removed the Factory Stripe, and polished out the car:

 

Well today she got a real quick bath after getting new brakes on thursday, damn those pads are long to set in "LOTS" of brake dust

 

The key is to make sure those clear coat wheels are waxed extremely well. Clean them up daily, yes I said daily, for at least a week or two with a good waterless wash or detail spray. This will keep the surface slick and brake dust will hardly stick. I've been using this formula for years and the brake dust is held at bay.

 

Oh Thanks for the tip I'll be sure to try it I have a couple of cans of waterless wash I bought at costco that I cant bring myself to use on the paint I'll try it on the wheels then

 

Cool. Where do they sell thos?

 

Yesterday I painted Kiwi Black Shoe Dye onto my black plastic trim pieces. It's dry now, looks nice.

If you try it, wear gloves, its messy. Also if I do it again, I'll mask the car first -it would go a lot faster if I didn't have to be as careful around the edges.

 

really nice outcome

Did you ever try black wow or back to black before?

 

No,. Haven't tried those. I know I dislike armor all. Was thinking of trying WipeNew, but others have had good results with this. Super cheap too. $3.00 and I only used about a fourth or third of the bottle.

I've heard of Black Wow. Have you used it?
