@"maleven-GP" maybe you could consider using IMGBB to host your pics and then paste the links as pictures? The current method of uploading images does you no favours..

Congrats on the new wheels.. Take it the x35i is no more with you?

Update:

It so happens that scratched into my gate at home while reversing out.. Someone in the house decided to close it while I was reversing..

Lodged a claim with insurer, quote was around R17,5k.. when I went to drop it off at panelbeater they advised that since it's the bumper and rear fender, they will re-do the pre-existing rear dents as well🤗🤗!

Decided to do the front bumper repair and respray, and fitted new fog lamps as well..


Finished product



Also did the following:

-front shocks
-gear oil top up,
-rear brake pads and discs..

What gear oil are you referring too?
Gearbox, or diff?

Looking great bud. Unfortunate incident with the gate but at least it resulted in the car being sorted all round.

Gearbox oil top up.. apparently it was a bit low..

How would you know the oil is low? Asking since I took mine to ZF and they took some oil out before realizing it's non ZF oil in there so the service wasn't done. Feeling a bit paranoid now

Might be worth checking the gasket on the gearbox oil pan. They can get very slow leaks from there. Didn’t really notice oil under car, but also had to top up gearbox oil.

That last one really looks good man - Gives the car a much more modern feel. Who did the android multimedia upgrade for you? And how much did it cost?

 

[Jeremy]

Car looks tops bro!

 

[Nomad77]

Screen looks great! What pushed you towards this one as opposed to the dash mounted one?
