got the Headlight washer trim pieces in Imola from Slater yesterday. went ahead and started the retrofit process of installing the washer jets, running the waster hose lines etc...
the official documentation says i have to remove the front bumper and also in my case the M3 aux fan... no way i was doing that.. instead just loosened the radiator, tilted it forward and was able to push the washer jet hose line across the V bar on the back of th core support like instructed in the PDF.
washer jets are all installed and put back together. just need to fab up a wire harness for the relay and wire it into the fuse box.
I cant wait to get this working and then start making posts "My headlight washers are leaking everywhere help!"

no i bought a pretty complete kit from a part out locally that came with black trim pieces and covers. i was able to snag the relay and some wire along with the 2 pin plug for the washer pump as well.
I'm relocating my washer reservoir to the spare empty battery tray on the passenger side so i need to lengthen all washer hoses to the pumps as well.
one of your washer covers.. the driver side actually had broken clips (the 2 loops that attach to the washer nozzle) ? one was broken and the other loop was missing so I had to cut off the loop from a spare black cover and then gorilla epoxy it on over night. so ill check it today to make sure its good then install it today as well.
other than that, yes the covers match 100% better than my original ones which are some weird dark red.
thanks man!
I didnt know you were s54 swapped, jealous!
I ordered two pre-cat O2 sensors today. I'm hoping that I haven't permanently screwed up my converters from driving with P0420 and P0430 codes for the longest time.

I also ordered a leather steering wheel cover from China for $43. My Alcantara wheel is pretty damaged in two spots and I can't justify $300+ or more for a quality refinished one. Instructions say that it goes over the original leather so I'll have to find some foam/padding to the low spots.

The part covered in paracord is worse. Most likely rubbing from the previous owner getting and out of the car.

I would NOT install that cover over anything you already have installed. I'd remove the material that's on there, THEN wrap it.
Why is that?
I'm guessing they recommend to do that way because the wrap is already cut and stitched for a certain diameter. Removing any material will make it a loose(r) fit. On the other hand, the Alcantara material on there looks pretty thin so there's no loss/gain in removing it beforehand.
Because if you don't remove the material, you will get a lumpy/uneven wrap. The material underneath wouldn't be consistent, so neither would the covering material. Removing the worn alcantara layer will provide you a smooth, even surface to apply the wrap to.Quote:
