+1 - good job mate! A bit late for you but did you use my DIY guide to trim removal? http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...light=DIY+trim

How did you go about ordering for RHD from them?

Yes I did use your guide, thanks for writing it! ive used it twice now, first when i wrapped my trim, and then yesterday to swap it.

I had to go searching for it which was annoying, wish we could have it stickied in the Aus area

They don't have a problem with RHD trim, they don't advertise it on their site but if you just tell them what you want, they go and source it themselves, so it doesn't really matter.

If you have spare trim like I do now, you could ship it over to them and save that cost, im thinking about having it done to my original trim and then selling it on here.

Yeah it seems pretty dam good, the guys at carbon fiber mods have been shipping all over the world, but arent advertising RHD on their site, im giving them some pics of mine and told them to stick a product on their for a RHD e92 kit.

They are also giving me a price to do my original trim, i might ship it over to them.

Well done EB! Looks pretty OEM to me!

I might even be able to ask the guys that are doing some work for me how much they would charge to "carbon skin" the oem trims if you like.

Yeah sure, worth asking, also adding a clear coat on top.

Had some new tyres installed

Michelin Pilot Super Sport

Front 235/35/19
Rear 265/30/19

The place that did the job said the run flats where the hardest tyres they have ever had to remove from a car, they had 3 guys have a go at it, one with 20 years experience :/

Once they were off we found a dodgy patch job in one the the old run flats, the guy said if one of his guys did a job like that he would fire him.

The PSS are on, they feel a lot smoother, much nicer when driving, however im getting some scrubbing on the rears when driving over bumps or when turning a sweeping corner at speed, I think the car rolls slightly and the tyre rubs under the fender.

I have contacted a local place to take a look and see if fender rolling or trimming can be done to give it some more room.

EB89 · 03-10-2016, 08:43 PM

04/03/2016 - $89.00 - VicoVation Vico Power-PLUS
04/03/2016 - $688.95 - BlackVue Over The Cloud DR650GW-2CH 128GB SD

New Dashcam and power manager arrived yesterday, I haven't had a chance to attempt the install, still researching where to power from, others say the fuse box and ive read that fuse 83 is always on and fuse 8 is ignition only as per this thread

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...7#post19546827

So ill give those a go over the weekend.

_ink · 03-11-2016, 03:56 AM

Why did you go with the vico instead of the Blackvue PMP?

Because the Vico is a universal device and the guys at dashcams Australia said its a better device, I was going to get the Blackvue and they actually recommended against it.

They gave me some specific reasons but I'm drunk right now and I can't remember them.

About 725USD plus shipping to AUS, plus you shipping your trim to the US.

Will do, I'm trying to find some fuse tap plugs so I can add a dedicated fuse to the cameras, not sure the size to get or where from.
