As a matter of interest, how long and how difficult was it to do the swirl flap delete? Planning it for mine

About 1.5 hours. Hungover. In a freezing cold garage ha ha ha. It's not a difficult job to be honest, it's the faffing about getting all the covers and crap off first which is more annoying.

I'm a fan, I can't wait to see what you do to this thing, haha.

Thanks dude.

Next plans are lowering a little, 335 tail pipes and diffuser, smoke tints on the windows, black/colour coded grills, colour code and fit my front splitters.

I also want to keep an eye out for some sideskirt splitters/extenders

[McPikie]

So, picked up some black grilles

[Nel2014]

Excellent build thread mate. I noticed you have a dtuk crdt2 tuning box and wondered what settings you have tried yours on. Recently installed mine have just used map 1.1 so far but seems to pull quite well.

[McPikie]

I've got it set on Map 3, up 10% as far as I remember.

[Nel2014]

Ok cool have you tried any other maps at all

[McPikie]

Not as yet as it's been pretty good so far. Might pop it up to map 4 this weekend though

[Nel2014]

Just changed mine over, gonna give it a drive in a bit 😁

[RajB]

Nice upgrades. Black grilles are always a good touch.

[McPikie]

Still not managed to get the lowering springs on, but gave it a wash at least

Another weekend without getting it lowered. I really must get those springs on.

Instead, I fitted the corner splitters

In all honesty, they arent the greatest of fits, but it looks OK

As you say, looks good.

Where did you get the splitters from?

Adam.

[McPikie]

Bought them 2nd hand, so I can't really moan about the fitment ha ha. They are fibreglass, so not sure whether some heat would have them bend correctly into shape. Meh, they are on now.

Once I have lowered it and smashed them to pieces, I will look at getting a 1M bumper on there

[McPikie]

Finally got round to fitting the Eibach springs

The back seems to have a dropped a LOT more than the front, which is only just noticeable really. Rides a hell of a lot better than the standard Msport now though. Only problem was we noticed a bush was done in on the passenger rear, so need to change that out next weekend.

[Chappers 71]

Nice
Give it a week or so to settle & then have a full geo

Phil, I found your flickr stream while googling photos of E91s which led me here. I just picked up a Pre-LCI E90 320D in sparkling graphite just like yours, and by the looks of it, we have very similar taste in mods. Cheers!

So, washer pump packed up a couple of weeks back, and then at weekend I got the Car on a Ramp service thing on the dash. Couldnt be fucked rolling round on a cold floor, so it got fucked off to my mates garage on Tuesday. Picked it up the same evening. It had actually cracked the washer pump, so that was replaced. I asked him to do the thermostat given the low MPGs it's been getting, and he also replaced the drive belt while he was there are it was chirping a little.

Finally, turns out the warning on the dash was for break pad wear sensors at the rear. The pads were shot and cutting into the disc a little, so he skimmed my discs and put new pads in, gave the coolant a flush with fresh anti freeze and even washed it for me.

£220.00 all in. I aint gonna grumble at that, saves me getting my hands dirty.

Next, it's EGR replacement and a backbox delete

Same as mine , I've graphite Silver as well 330d

Not sure why but I missed your updates on this Phil. Looks excellent on the eibachs! Fitting H&R to mine

Are you planning on deleting or replacing the EGR?
