[quote][i]Originally posted by Graham88[/i] Not really that exciting an update but thought I haven't really put much up It got dirty [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/GrahamVFR/BMW%20M3/Random/CC98672A-F12B-4D27-9213-2EAD21A95DCA-4598-00000381A0A51BBE.jpg[/IMG] I cleaned it [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/GrahamVFR/BMW%20M3/Random/FAF9CDAB-0876-4CF3-8144-239EFBBF47D5-4598-00000381A6B23605.jpg[/IMG] I stripped the cage out to send off for powdercoating [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/GrahamVFR/BMW%20M3/Random/IMG_5156.jpg[/IMG] I removed the dash so I could take curtain airbags out. I also wanted to remove it to see how easy it was to modify the heater matrix to fit a double din (the standard BMW unit is a single din on the bottom to go around the heater matrix) but it looks like hard work. Removing and refitting dash was very easy actually, can tell where it's good build quality.

Fixed a knocking from the front left, pressure bled the clutch to see if that solves my clutch issues, fixed the cruise control & checked alarm as it keeps going off but no faults. Nice not to have to get cold or dirty but I nearly fainted at the bill. Then my cage was ready so picked that up too, I'm properly skint now :lol: Shit pic of the colour I chose this time, went for a different colour partly due to a different company and I was never happy with the finish (laquer cracked in places). I didn't like the new companies anthracites they reminded me of school furniture so I went for a metallic black with a silver flick. Looks quite nice.
