Re: seat bushes advice/help please
Have a look on YouTube as there is a step by step guide in three videos.
Don’t forget not to put the ignition on while the seat is out of the car otherwise the seatbelt light will need resetting.

Re: UFO in my car?
There should be a little red light on the dash, if you press it, it turns them off. This allows you can say leave a cat in the car and still put the alarm on.

If you do go down the drilled discs route don't forget to let your insurance company know as it's classed as a modification so they will probably charge you extra.

I was just wondering did the Z3 come with angel eyes when new?
Or is this just an add on modification?
I asked in my local dealership and was told that the car never came with angel eyes.

Re: CLEAR HEADLIGHT INDICATOR LENS SETS - £48. All incl.
When I did mine the light wouldn't go into my oven so I used a hot air gun to warm the glue after about 10 minutes the glue softened allowing me to part the light.
Then used the hot air gun to soften the glue enabling to put the headlight back together.
