What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

Bummer about your damaged CDs. But hey ... that's cool you have red trim on your IR sedan.

Thanks. The wrap adheres better to the fake wood trim of a 325. Also just got some black mats with red piping on the edges. It's a good look. Is there a good thread for advice on improving the sound of the doors when they close to less of a "k-chunk" and more of a "fwoomp?".

^ Aquarium water hose inside the hollow windows/door seals to firm them up. Also dynomat sound deadening the panels from inside the door will remove any tininess.

Put in a new fuel pump today. Cleaned years of junk out from under the rear seat

I got my doors fully deadened. I could take a video if you want to see what it's like. There is a pretty big difference.

I'd be interested. Which products did you use to add mass/adhere to the doors?

Photos from my dimly lit garage don't do justice to the coat of Jetseal on the headlights. I followed the Chemicals Video. https://youtu.be/tSm8C3I6_w4. Wetsand 400 grit, 2500 grit, 3000 grit and v36 polish. Very happy with the results but the Jetseal took the shine to another level.

Damn that looks great!!

Knukonceptz Kolossus deadener. There was a sale on the B-stock product so I picked up 2 flat rate boxes of the stuff. There was a DIYMA (DIY Mobile Audio) thread comparing all the deadeners and this one ranked third and was also the best bang for the buck at the time.

I used one sheet for the rears and 1.5 ish for the fronts. Doors feel heavier, obviously, and close very nicely. Even compare to the wife's E90, it feels like a much more solid car as soon as the door is opened.

Water hose idea is creative. Brilliant.
