On order is an Eisenmann Race rear muffler with valves. Tips will be gloss black. I also have an extra set of OEM badges for the rear that will be painted black.

That should complete the look (and sound!).

One more mod that I did....Alpina Blue Start/Stop button.

Love it, the small subtle changes are big for me.!

Roof Wrap / Chrome Delete / Tail light tint / gloss black grille / CF spoiler / gloss side mirrors / coding /

Havy · 02-23-2019, 02:12 AM

Wow, that looks mean.

polar993 · 02-23-2019, 02:28 AM

Looks great!

CokeWhite, is the chrome delete for the door handles a vinyl wrap?

Nice...

Havy · 02-23-2019, 06:19 AM

CokeWhite what kind of wrap did you use for the roof? The pre-owner painted the carbon roof in car color.

CokeWhite where did you have your tail lights done and how dark is the film??

DerBosewicht · 02-23-2019, 12:53 PM

Yes, this was overdue.

How do you replace it? Just pull it off? Or remove the entire console?

Nope! The bottom part is a sticker you lift up and a then 1 T8 screw. Top silver part comes off to replace P Button. Screw back in and put new sticker on. Took actual 10 min of work. 45 min trying to figure out which screw it was😡.

Check out @geminiwraps on Ig ... tail light tint comes in light and dark... this is dark

Wonder why that P button is so hammered since there is no need to press it when turning off the car?

Ditto. I did not even know that was possible, but I never touch mine.

I know. It was like that when I got the car... I believe the previous owner was a woman because on the roof it had marks where it look like she would set her purse down all the time. I am not sure how it got like that but it was very annoying lol

Drivetrain malfunction again. Yup, getting onto the motorway same thing as last time. As luck would have it my FCPEuro order with all new Coils and Plugs just arrived today.

Last time it was C8. This time it was C5. Replaced all 8 coils and engine air filters.

As luck would have it the tip of the C4 ignition coil broke off in the chamber...fun and games, but I managed to get it out.

Three of the coils have '15 manufacture years on them, one is '18, three are '11 and one is '10.

DerBosewicht · 03-09-2019, 03:56 PM

Continuing the front fascia facelift... waiting on headlights to come back. Front bumper blemishes fixed and front lip added.
