I have completed my sound deadening project, for now. I will add some more when it's convenient but the majority of work has been done. I made a separate thread for it here:

Final wave of vacuum system V2


DIY black roundels.


With the roundel off the car I drilled a hole in the middle so I could push the metal cap out.




Scrape and scuff



Prep, tape, prime, paint


3M VHB on the rear for mounting


Inner roundel reattached with JB Weld, laser aligned!


A couple glamour shots with the new roundels installed. I also raised the KWs to max height.





Early Christmas gift


Local LKQ yard treasure hunting



First time using the ski pass in my E61!



2nd row seat base from 2-row X5.


After some angle grinder action


+ sound deadening


Cargo floor before



Test fitting and trimming carpet and side cargo panels


Installed, now my cargo floor is secured in place.



Brrrr
