Here is a whole thread about the duct fin removal:

I actually pulled mine out while I had the bumper off, ran without for several months. I just reinstalled them a couple of weeks ago-

Glad I didn't cut mine.

Bought a set of Style 68 wheels for autocross/track use. They have 245 Front/255 Rear Continental ExtremeConatact Sport tires installed so we'll see if they rub. Good news is that the full set does fit in the back seat/trunk area with the back seat folded down!

Pulled out the airbox and removed the charcoal filter, and also cleaned the mass airflow sensor. I swear, there is a hint more power and some more intake noise, easy mod to do! I also took some pictures now that the car has Eibach Springs on it.







I really need to touch-up the paint on the hood.



Also, I broke 165,000 miles!!! Time for an oil change, and a coolant flush.



Thoughts on the orange trim???

Scrolling through, I was thinking:
With the chrome window trim, the chrome-ringed kidney grilles make a lot more sense.
Then - Whoa! What's up with the orange trim?
Not to my taste, but if you like it, why not?
Doesn't clash much worse than the silver they stuck in my dark blue car with oyster-and-black interior.
Not a bad match to the gauges and displays, actually.

Personally, I like the orange trim. From here it kinda looks like Valencia Orange. Now all you need is a VO 1M to go with your trim. lol

Pretty clean looking 1er considering all those miles.

Seems out of place with the rest of the car's paint scheme.

To each their own.

The orange is bold! A shade darker would look better but it works somehow.

What rims are those?

I put new wheels on it.

[desertman123]

Got my door actuator in today, I knew it was gonna be a tight fit but damn you really have to yank it out of the door frame. It's nice to be able to use the door handle again lol.

[sprp85]

Installed B12 + dinan camber plates.

Well, at least 2 front struts are in.

Tackling 1 side a day!

White bolts. Thank me later.

Installed my new charge pipe after driving on a busted up CP for a month, and turned my JB+ to the max setting. Good to have power back!

[Gray_Panther]

Dumb move on my part while washing the car. I put the power washer too close to the car and accidentally tugged on the cable and it fell and scraped my rear bumper.
Looks like I'll be buffing with maybe a touch-up paint pen next spring.

[WDE82]

Got rear ended at a light. Good news is I will probably get the M-sport bumper as a replacement if possible.

[Esteban]

Bummer for both the cars above. Especially for WDE82. Sorry guys.

Yeah that's a big bummer. I'm not as pissed anymore after seeing your post right after mine.

Hopefully you end with a free M-Sport bumper!!

Excuse how dirty she is... but she got new shoes. lol

[minirips2]

Nice looking rims, level3! The red center caps really blend well with the rest of the car. I'm not really into black rims, but on that vert, the black rims really work with the black top. BTW- I have a Crimson Red coupe. Does it irk you as much as it irks me that the bumpers and rockers don't exactly match the rest of the car color-wise?
So what did I do today? I finally replaced the cracked third brake light. I could see it wasn't the original light. It was the new style, and someone had ground down the tab on the trunk. Hopefully this one will last. I used the new softer springs, so that should help.

This car is like my beater car... it was totaled and fixed before I bought it (cheap!). It has a salvage title. It's had a full respray so it's all the same color. That being said.... this little car has gone like 20k with no problems at all. Very happy with it.

Washed it...
