    Armrest delete
    Leatherique treatment (almost didn’t change anything)
    Front end overhaul plus Bilstein B6 dampers all around


    Comment


      Replaced the plastic door card clips .. through the years, many of them were twisted or broken, as I found out when I replaced the stock speakers with those from Bavsound: https://www.bavsound.com/products/st...standard-hi-fi

      Used the clip locations picture below for reference, since RealOEM.com doesn’t show that: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showt...eadening-Guide

      8x white clips, 51418224768, on each door
      3x grey clips, 51418224781, on each door

      4x white clips, 51437001491, on each rear armrest panel,
      3x grey clips, 51437001492, on each rear armrest panel

      I also replaced the tweeter speaker grille that had gone yellow from all the pollen accumulated over the years. Amazing how those dust particles can squeeze through the window glass seal and end up on the grille foam.

              Productive weekend here! Retired the 13 year old Stoptech ST40s for some Essex AP 9660s in ENP finish. Can't wait to feel the difference on track.

                    Now that is one hell of a combo. I love the nickel finish calipers.

                        Haha good call. I just placed an order at ECS earlier today before I saw this. Next time I'll get the new caps! One question though, do the rears run caps?

                          No my bad, only 2 on front. But since you don’t have center caps on the E88, maybe you can try to fit some on the rear axle too?

                            I didn't do much to my car, but I did accept the biggest box I've ever taken delivery of, a new OEM CSL bumper to finally tie everything together with my intake and get the front end looking how I want it. It survived the trip from Germany to Australia with no damage thankfully. I have to admit the bumper is extremely well made, as it should be for the damn price, so I'm not expecting any fitment issues. It came with the 2 carbon splitters, new grille & tow hook cover. I just need to get it painted in Le Mans Blue and then probably spend a full weekend installing it. I also have all the duct work that attaches to the bottom of the intake to install plus the flexi tube that gets coiled around the back of the duct opening on the bumper.
