Update:
Well when I purchased the car, it had the C2 WTH number plate which was staying with the previous owner. When I collected the car he still had to transfer the plate so had to keep the V5, MOT and Tax disk. Now I was a little worried about this but put my trust is a fellow RS owner. After what seemed like a very long time and what seemed to me as being fobbed off the V5 etc dropped through the letter box!! Thank god for that! Thank you Jamie if you are watching one of these, I never doughted you
Anyway, this ment I now have a valid tax disk in the window, my 12 months MOT certificate and the V5. This also ment I could now get my number plate made up for the front of the car. I was running around with it strapped to the passanger side sun visor as it was too small to screw into the bumper and I didnt really want to put some stick back stuff on to keep it there.
So off I went and bought my new front number plate
I got it from Halfords for £18 with some locking screws and caps.
So this is how I collected it
Before it was fitted
After it was fitted
My locking screws I used, not fool proof but certainly slow you down, alot!
This was the old number plate against the new one
After that I thought I would tackle the gear gaitor as I read it was a easy job.... what a pain in the ass this was! Thought it would be like my M3 and pull out without removing the center consol but no
This is the gear gaitor before
Pretty shafted
So I got to this stage and thought, that is it, take a photo before I put it back in, then I noticed it needed that horrible plastic crap bit put back in to get it to look OEM.
So after messing around it looked like this
Not the best I must admit but not bad for my first attempt, its also a ball ache as its a T5 box so the swing into 2nd/4th and reverse is a long way down.
And this is what it was like when finished
This is what is left from the old gaitor
Sadly, when taking it all a part I found this which was repaired with glue and broke
Anyone got one I can buy please in as new condition or excellent used condition?
A couple photos of my carbon fibre front splitter which was hit at 0.5 mph on a rubbish speed bump! I was pissed right off with this as you can imagine. I have a friend who runs a company in making carbon fibre car parts and he thinks he can fix it, failing that its a new one at £150.
When I was at Halfords I had a spare ten minutes so started looking around, I am a very proud dad as I am sure you guys are too and was looking for a new car seat for my ten month old little girl. I never knew Halfords stocked Recaro baby seats So I took a couple photos to show the Mrs.
She is saying one is no good for us as its for bigger kids so it might be the Young Sport one we go for. It will spend 99% of its time in the back of our 330i Sport which we bought just for the baby (very safe car and has isofix) but for the odd time it has to go in my car, it has to be Recaro
The top one had speakers in and a iPod connection! Kids these days have so much.
