Curious is its just double sided tape holding on all the plastic fender extensions as well as the same extensions on the door ? Thinking of taking them off so I gets cleaner look but worried there are holes behind them. Has anyone done this ? Cant seem to find threads for it.

There are a number of plastic 'rivets' attached to the wheel-arch flares and side-skirts. These line up with plastic socket (sorry, I don't know the terminology) which are embedded in the car body. The rivets hold the flares to the car. You need a flathead screwdriver or similar to pop the rivet out, and there are screws under the sideskirts also. With the arch flares etc removed you will have a series of white plastic discs along your bodywork.

They could be removed I guess, but then you'll have holes.

Yeah some of mine are falling off as the plastic clip bit has snapped from the overfender... need to work out if i can DIY spray it and reattach somehow...

If you find something that looks clean and durable, keep me updated ! ;)

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!!

      The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.

      I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.

      Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
