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

Magic eraser on my wheel today. Disgusting. Also, although my wheel is still usable, it is already failing and will need to be replaced soon either way.

Coby re-wrap?

I like the new concept of part Alcantara and part leather. Especially leather in parts where you keep your hands during daily driving. IE 9 o'clock.

You can see some of the holes I drilled.

After sanding for fit and painting. Yes, it is crude and not esthetically acceptable. But it is under
the car so I didnt waste time, just wanted functional.

I was not planning on doing a DIY, especially since this was an experiment, but it is holding up very well. Everything bolted together and fit is nice. Bumper even aligns with fender better.

Nice work.

Loving the new alcantara shift boot from Coby Wheel!

yeeeeww boiii

Picked up a new starter today. The more I read about replacing this POS on the 320, the less I want to do it... I think I'm just gonna put the car in the garage for a while and do some major maintenance while I'm changing it. I'm just gonna pull the intake manifold, do all my rubber intake hoses, all the coolant/heater core hoses, intake manifold gaskets, maybe an E12 throttle body, and I don't even know what else yet... FML

Sounds like a nice winter's work. Good plan.

Mine were broken also but I bought new ones since they are cheap.
