CSL for me too!

toplad · 20-03-2011, 09:53 PM

Hi all

After what seems like a life time of looking, then changing my mind for something more practical I've finally got my hands on a CSL. It's no minter, needs a few bits and bobs sorting, but I'm very happy with the deal and I'll have something to titivate(sp?) for the summer.

I came from a Z4M, which is no slouch, but fooking hell the CSL is fast, it's a real license loser, a bit to easy to drive quickly too. It has AP's all round and the first time I jumped on the brakes hard I nearly dislocated my man boobs.

List of Jobs so far

Steering wheel retrim. The top and bottom trims are a bit faded, might try and paint them or just order the over priced parts. suggestions?
Thoroughly clean the seats and trim (raceglaze ordered)
Remove a couple shopping damage door dings.
Front end repsray
Repaint left hand side sill trim
Cure loose backend, probably RATB.
Possible clutch
Put my new rotary polisher to use
Order interior CSL sill trim X 2
Order carbon bumper fangs, think it has a couple of cheapo copies on at the mo, how can I spot OEM ones?
Order plastic clips to fix battery cover and one for the other side

I'm sure there are a few other things
