Re: Rear View mirror detached

Yeah came away from windscreen. In the process of trying to refix it, the window shattered.
I now have a new screen and all is well.

Rear View mirror detached

Whilst adjusting my mirror yesterday the sealant between the unit and the glass has broken.
Took the whole assembly off, including the rain sensor.

Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Take it i'll need a new clear pad for the sensor and some kind of bonding agent to put it back on the windscreen.

Re: Carbon Fibre Engine cover

Oh it's an OEM skinned cover. That shouldn't be too hard or expensive to do. Pretty sure carbon designz will do that for you as will most other skinners. The real expense comes from making a one off genuine full carbon cover to fit the original fixing points. Skinning an OEM cover is bread and butt...

Looks good but could do without the extra badges at the bottom. Is it dipped or real Carbon fibre?
Real carbon fibre.

Carbon Fibre Engine cover

Thoughts on this? thought the factory one could be improved upon, definitely nicer than the plastic unit fitted as standard.

Odd error

Hello all, been lurking for a while here, wondering if anyone has any ideas on the following.

Twice now EPC error has come up, limit 6k rpm.

Car drives as normal, clears after shutdown and restart.
Put code reader on today and no codes ...
Anyone had the same? Very odd!
