[quote][i]Originally posted by Graham88[/i] Not much to update here tbh what with Xmas coming up. Asked for a few bits for Xmas though so we'll see what happens there :) I bought a new ITG filter as the old one was minging and put my cold air feed in. Didn't notice any difference to be honest. Noticed a bit of a diff leak coming from the diff. So I rang Dale as he works for BMW for advice. Sound lad and doesn't mind helping people :thumbs: I'll be replacing all 3 seals even though it's only leaking from 1, might aswell do it all at once and all that. Annoying considering I've only just bought it but it's one of those things, 2nd hand car after all and 7 years old!

I know someone who can powdercoat them fairly cheap just trying to find out a price on rebuild kits, but can't do that as I can't find out part numbers for my calipers, dohhh :( Bought some Depo front indicators, my mate darkened the front of his M3 and I think it looks the nuts, but his is a black M3 so I wasn't sure if it would suit. But I don't know if I like the clear indicators so I thought I'd give them a go. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/GrahamVFR/BMW%20M3/Random/IMG_2902.jpg[/IMG] Before: [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/GrahamVFR/BMW%20M3/Random/IMG_2904.jpg[/IMG] After: [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/GrahamVFR/BMW%20M3/Random/IMG_2907.jpg[/IMG] I'm still a bit unsure but I think it's because the headlight lenses are quite chipped and starting to go cloudy so you can just tell the indicator lenses are newer. You can buy new headlight lenses for £50 apparently so I might do that and possibly consider a very light Lamin-X tint. We shall see. Oh & ignore the fog light, that's another story, bought one on eBay a month ago and having agro with crap sellers :rolleyes: Also ordered this: [img]http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDI0WDc0NA==/$%28KGrHqQOKiYE5Omii%29iZBOdHc00oO%21%7E%7E60_12.JPG[/img] To replace this: [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/GrahamVFR/BMW%20M3/Random/IMG_2909.jpg[/IMG] Nokia 6210 phone holder :lol: It's also the way you connect the phone to bluetooth, but as my phone is already synced I don't need it anymore. Would rather cup holders, my Mazda had 6, the BMW has none :boggle: And the bit I can't wait for! [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/GrahamVFR/BMW%20M3/Cage/cage.jpg[/IMG] It's being made by Nickson Motorsport who did my mates cage in his Astra VXR. I was speaking to them last week and found an image on google and edited out the bits I didn't want. I basically wanted a cage with the minimal amount needed plus a diagonal section (cause they look cool lol) plus the harness bar. So they will weld the plates to the chassis and then make it bolt in, as I want it removable to get it painted/powdercoated and tbh don't fancy welding it in just incase I need to remove it for whatever reason. I've been assured it will still be safe so that's good enough for me! Just undecided on colour now. Was thinking powdercoated white as I like the red/white contrast especially with the calipers done in that theme. But also I think cages in body colour look cool but it would need painted to get an exact match. Got plenty of time to decide anyway.
