Anyone else with pics?

It's like negative 5 outside with windchill. I'll snap a photo tomorrow lol.

Edit, this thread shows how it looks on 1M but I think what you/Chunner have is right. It's just Chunner's trim pieces look more seamless, i.e. cleaner install.

I think yours looks allright. Here's mine:

Pyrat 2 · 02-16-2015, 06:39 PM

Perfect picture. Exactly what I need. The issue on mine is that the top of the ductwork on the right half in front of the radiator is not tucked in properly. Part of it is mounted behind the bumper and part of it is not. If you see it you will see that it looks like it is jammed in there and not seated properly. Hard to describe and not really showing well in the picture. I'm out of town right now so I can't snap a pic of the issue. In any event I'll get back to you if I need help.

Yours also has number markings like mine. The OCD in me can't stop noticing it!

Lol, my wife thought I was nuts when I explained why I was taking a pic of my bumper when it was like neg 2 degrees outside. Then she saw me reading this thread with the other bumper pictures and then said we are all from Mars and then nuts.... lol

lol, you were going to fast too often. Thats why the trim untucked itself....

gregthegr8 · 02-16-2015, 09:39 PM

Now I'm wondering if mine has a number on it, too. I'm going to go look later. And it won't be 2 degrees. O=|

Pyrat 2 · 02-17-2015, 06:11 AM

Probably true. Driving to Atlanta from Chicago in three weeks to get out of the cold and onto the track. Was at road Atlanta a few years back with my 3. Anyone else going to be there with the Peachtree chapter.

Some fun pics from this weekend. Looking mean and sinister and at least these signs were nice enough to tell me where the 135s should go. Then I hit 10k miles and took a very dangerous picture. O=|

Ha I was more concerned with that big bug splash on the radiator itself, but yeah I did notice the numbers scribbled on it, kinda cool as those were likely installed here when they hit the US docks, right?

Maybe a new spot for stickers? Can never have enough stickers on the 1.

That's what I was REALLY taking a picture of, but wanted to be all coy about it as the corolla people were just getting out of their car and I didn't want them to see me taking a pic of it.

I'm not even gonna ask how you got your trip meter to be exactly 50.0 miles at the 10'000 mile mark.

"Corolla people". I like it. Sounds very Alien.

A map, a pencil, and advanced calculus. Or just dumb luck. Mostly just dumb luck.

10,000 miles really? Are you an owner or collector? You secretly hate your 135is hence the low miles. You do not belong in this thread. Be gone you closeted self hater!!!

Guess I'll go drive it off a cliff. =( If only the miles I spend in mid air would count.

GREAT!! here's a list of things you need to do before your next oil change in 9 miles (get it early!):

Rotate tires
Transmission fluid
Brake Fluid flush
DCT service (whatever that is)
Steering fluid flush
change all sparkplugs
Update all bushings
Suspension renewal
Brake pads and rotors
