M3 cutters, deposit taken within 6 hours and plenty of interest. I think the colour helped.

Ticked a few jobs off today.




Swapped out smallest ITG filter i've ever seen for standard air box. Discovered some vibratechnics mounts on my travels.









Pulled seats out, cleaned them down, hoovered tub (found a baby bell under the seat... looked older than me....did not eat it....) and gave it a wash.









Before/after









Swapped out the perished aerial rubber











Tried to remove rear spacers but wheel bolts are too long so ordered some new ones...

Snow foamed full car. Even got her to clean her own car for a change...














Got my reg plate on...remnants of my old car Will have another one day so kept hold, like hiding the age of the car too.

Thought I’d posted here already? Nice car and colour, in the right hands they can shuffle along surprisingly quickly.
