^ No mods???

I'm surprised you're going with the 19's and bigger tires.

 

Aw heck Ian, only a few mods .



So nice you have an understanding partner

You definitely have "The Fever"

 

SSSSSsshhhhh...... not so loud!

 

hehehehe, oh okay LMAO

 

I confirm, there is no cure...

 

LOL! Ian, I agree with Colin......modding is definitely in your genes! Btw, what wheels did you go with?

 

Holy Mod, Batman. The on order's were what had me LMAF

 

Hey Ian the front license plate print where did you get it and how much?

 

I may be a mod addict... but I'm good at keeping secrets.
...all will be revealed at the proper time.

I will say it's not something normally seen on a BMW,

 

Got my visor mod done
Removed those FUGLY warning labels.

This is something that I never got arround to trying with the G.
Those labels are heat fused on & on the Infiniti they had a plastic backing on the visor.

I don't know if anyone was ever successful with goof-off or not but I didn't want to get into that mess.

With the Bimmer the label is fused directly onto the vinyl (no plastic backing)
Sooo I gave it a try with a hair dyer a scraper (borrowed from the kitchen) & a few prayers.

The process...


& the results


There was a little residue after removal.......
Isopropyl & a microfiber cleaned that up.
I followed that with some 303 to condition the vinyl.

It is soooooo nice to be rid of those labels.

 

Haha nice Ian. A shame mine are a part of the vinyl; I might replace the entire headliner though.

You're leaving the stock brakes but changing the pads? Any thoughts on a new brake system? I know the Z4M's is probably pretty substantial to begin with.

I have some stuff I'm working on two but one of my jack stands busted today (great week for me breaking things).

How is the deconstruction of the G going? All done?

 

nice!

can't wait to see the new iforged.
hope they don't take as long as some people say.
but i'm sure they're worth the wait.

 

Great stuff, Ian. Can't wait to see pics of the future mods, especially the wheels and tires.
