What was the outcome on that tappet cover?


I see S62 :fencelook:



Where I can't see it :tease:


The one I bought is not going to work, he said he will try and find a new one for me.
Doubt that will happen. My fix is still holding out, so no a big stress :hammerhead:

Spiro and myself sorted out the free air sub on Saturday.

I am pleased with the results more space in the boot and the sound to me sounds the same. The best for me is the space in the boot again with the toolbox I bought earlier in the month the boot is neat, tidy and practical.

The ratchet strap keeps the tool box in place so that it does not bounce around :rollsmile:.

I prefer to keep the leather flap over the speaker, arm rest stays down.

Looks good, fitting the sub there would never have even crossed my mind.

Thanks for the title update.

It is not my idea, I saw it was done on Yuben's car so asked Spiro if can be done with mine.

Yesterday afternoon I had some free time so I tackled the headlight cleaning job.

Quite a lot of "dust" settles in the headlights. I was told that chrome plating on the is very thin, I completely miss judge how thin. Managed to damage the the chrome :hammerhead:. So I sprayed the shrouds black (something I was thinking of doing) and one of the xenon reflector has got scuffing marks now. I like the look, makes it look mean in my opinion. I also sanded and polished the lenses, I need give a another go as I could see getting better but would require more patience.

The lights does seem to be more crisp and slightly more intense afterwards, will do proper headlight alignment tonight. No where level where I could do it at home. Here are some before and after pics.
