How's the fit on those spoilers? Looking forward to pics.

mine has a small gap towards the center but I think it should come out alright once it's on, my appointment's in May so it will be a little while before I can get pics

The original Hartge fits the same way.

I rode my motorcycle past it...

I'm digging around on the internet and hardward stores for material to fabricate a mesh grill for my 98 base model. The oem plastic slats on the base model look kinda cheap.

Are you drilling holes to put it on? I was just going to window weld it.

Pegasus racing has stainless mesh - also McMaster-Carr
Used it for a grill for this:

Beautiful MG. I love the little cars.

Thanks - it's a grassroots motorsports $2012 challenge car (my avatar is my $2010 challenge e28). The MG is more ford mustang than MG (5.0/T-5 8" rear). It's about 6" wider track and 2" longer wheelbase than a standard B. There's only a handful of parts that haven't been modified.

Staying on topic - swapped out the thermostat on the ti last night. Re-bled the system. Drove to work with fingers crossed - everything was fine - rock steady temp gauge at 12 o'clock. Looks like I might have dodged a bullet - a little mixed blessing. Was kinda hoping for an m50 to stuff in it.

yeah, I'm having holes drilled, it was expensive enough that I don't mind spending a little more to not see it tumbling down the road in my mirror

Windo-weld is some strooooong stuff. Imagine how much force it would take to push your windshield out.

Before


After

[1996 328ti]

Drove my car for the first time in awhile.
Rear wheel lock up on brisk turns.
Please just be fluid. Please.
Need to tape my headliner down in front of the sun visor.

Both rear speakers officially shot.
Panned to front.

A ti followed me into the Advance Auto parking lot.
Chatted a bit.

Damn I do love driving this car.
It's going to get some much needed attention.
Just don't want to spoil her.

Drove it up to Wine Country with my Navigator, Spike;



And edged one step closer to that magic number (for the second time!)



And bought a twin;
