Re: Clear coat ruined it

It needs to release the chemicals in the paint. The time is irrelevant. Some solvents can release weeks later. The paint in all layers needs to be dry or it can fry. Try putting on thin coats, you should only need a light coat of colour then one more to cover and the metalic stand up. A light coat o...

Re: Pre facelift to post face lift conversion.

Hi,
You have to cut out the entire rear panel that holds the rear lights in place as the pattern for where your lights bolt on and the bulbs go through are different.
I have a panel new in the box.

If you get a bicycle gear or old style brake cable that has a bullet end on it and poke it down the tube , that works or a plastic flexi rod. That’s what I use as it’s less abrasive. Also works for the roof drains.

There is a myth that Z3M mirrors are no longer made by BMW. This is simply untrue. I repeatedly see them up for £500 a pair in used condition.
