Hi all,
(sorry for posting pics through imgur but they wouldn't upload through the forum interface)

I'm the forum member who bought Sreten's TiAg '05 ZHP coupe a few weeks ago (see thread http://bit.ly/2mb8uqX). I've waited until now to introduce myself because I had to keep it back at home until I secured a parking space in Berkeley.
Some background: I'm a senior at UC Berkeley and I will be starting work in Palo Alto this summer. I wanted a fun daily driver for my commute and the ZHP seemed to check all the boxes. So far, the car has been great and all of Sreten's upgrades/repairs have proved to be great additions (especially the M3 seats). I'm really excited to continue getting the car in tip top shape cosmetically as well, re: hood paint fading mentioned in Sreten's original post as well as some other wear and tear.
I have a few items on the list I want to get taken care of once I have some actual cash flow from work but for now I was hoping you all could advise me on some cheaper fixes/additions.
I've been scouring forums to figure out how to set up the bluetooth/determine if the car is wired for bluetooth and I can't seem to find a clearcut answer since there seems to be a lot of nuance with regard to production date, exact car model, and package.
I ran the serial number and found production date was 11/2004, which is apparently important. I've also attached some images via imgur of the badges in the trunk, the stereo interface, and the steering wheel so you can see what I'm dealing with. I've read that I might have to get a kit with BT antenna, mic, etc.
Also, there is some deteriorating rubber seals around the hood, sideview mirrors, etc. and I was hoping for advice on getting that taken care of. Right now I don't have too much income nor a good place to work on the car but once I graduate I am hoping to get a lot more into DIY work on the car.
Thanks for any advice!
