That actually doesn't look too hard to repair to be honest. I've been doing a fair bit of carbon work myself on the side learning as I go. It honestly isn't as hard as it looks (just got to get a good scale to weigh out the resin properly and have a clock so you can following the curing time if you are using a high speed resin. I would personally use moulding clay on the underside to mould the general shape and then layer 3 layers on top, trying to match the weave as close as possible. Then sand and reshape. You can then either clear coat it like that or layer a full length 2x2 over the top so the weaves are consistent. I did this minor repair on a spare set of splitters myself ... turned out pretty good and you'd struggle to find where I actually repaired it Before After

All good, I was never able to find an reason why the second set of tail lights I fitted got fried even after having the lcm changed and recoded etc hence the capacitors being used.They can be fitted in the spare wheel space or neatly beside the tail lights as mine were. Best of luck with it they do make the darker coloured cars look sharper. If you haven't already stick in some phantom bulb's in the indicators get ride of that orange blob look.

Yeah there pretty hard to find aye, they are 19x10 and 19x9, have a look at these two pics I think they look fricken awesome... just saying lol

Hi Julian, Hope you have better luck with the Clears than I did when fitting them to my old 2001 530. Had the led parks but amber indicators which I wanted to change to the clears after two failed set of lights I fitted the capacitors and had no trouble after that. Things I found different light connectors old type a square connector new a flat six pin, modify the body slightly like you had to and a couple of other things. Most important make sure you get a good seal with the new tail lights on the body as they form part of the water channel for the boot drain and if they leak you can get some nasty electrical problems apart from a boot full of water. Good luck

I was going to hit you up about these rims haha. They look like 18s to me.

Hi there It's a bit hard to tell. Are these 19's or 18's?

Those lights are so pretty at night.

Something very minor has bugged me since I bought the car. Every time I accelerated in any kind of spirited fashion (or less-spirited up a hill) the sunroof shade panel slid open... Not because of the immense torque, because it was too loose. Finally got round to fixing it with a bit of padded tape in each corner to provide a bit of friction. Time will tell how long it will last.

Took advantage of a day off and installed a set of genuine Hella FL LED tail lights that I picked up from Matt (Ahmedsinc). Followed the retrofit instructions to the letter but found the lights still didn't fit. The issue is the small amount of filing/grinding shown here (blue arrow) on bmwdiy.com: I don't know whether the retrofit lights are different to the factory-fitted ones but this didn't work for me at all and I had to resort to a bit of good old fashioned hammering to get them to fit. No big drama though, it's out of sight and used some touch up paint to seal any bare metal against rust. Before Quick test fit Stealth Two new holes drilled and a bit of hammering Old and new connectors Testing out my rarely used soldering skills My helpful assistant Done and modernised. Just a bit of LCM coding to go. Even restored all the original badges and got rid of the black and white badboi emblems. EDIT: Oh, and filmed a quick test (hard to test the brakes lights on your own!) with a couple of gratuitous revs at the end... The exhaust is sounding pretty adequate.

i have a mint blue(indigo colour ) one , $120 you can get them redyed to what ever colour you need ,will look like a brand new seat when done. i know a guy who does it and doesn't cost that much , maybe around $150-200
