Is the lower bumper mesh silver?
No, it's just quite faded and looks a bit grey. Will be buying a whole new bumper as one of the fog brackets is broken and its been caught on some kerbs or grass verges underneath and not in the best condition.If anyone knows where I can buy one either new or in pretty good condition, please let me know.

Check the flap in the exhaust isn't seized closed. If so remove it with a crowbar and a large hammer (don't be afraid to hit it hard). It will sound even better then.
Already done that one, it had seized shut, made a big difference straight away.I pulled the vacuum hose off first before realising it was the flap seized, is it important to block the vacuum hose with something like a golf tee or a screw, or does it not matter?

Looks nice op, with your cube trim get some gloss black aerosol and spray it onto your finger, ( wear latex gloves ) then rub the paint into the scratches, on the powerflex thing I'd put meyle HD lollipops or OEM on, powerflex ruins them, although I'm sure plentylike them they ain't for me.
Good tip, thanks! My mum has the black cube trim and it's starting to look a little shabby... Just ordered some Goodridge Hoses, anyone know what fluid is best and how much of the stuff I'll actually need?

Longlife Cat-back exhaust is being fitted tomorrow, having the mid-box removed and straighter pipes, will look fairly OEM at the back still.
Thinking of getting a second set of whells and using them as track wheels. Can get some MV1's fairly cheap, but that means paying for 18" track tyres. Should I stick with these or go smaller, maybe 16/17" so replacement tyres are cheaper too?

Will that Simota kit fit a 325ti by any chance? Visual inspection yields no discernible difference between any of the M54 engines!
I can't find a decent priced back box for my compact as they're pretty rare in 2.5 format. I've always been an induction w
e anyway, prefer the sound of the suck rather than the blow!
