What did you do to / for your E53 today??

[Ricky Bobby]

Its controversial, yes I know, but I keep my glass clayed and sealed religiously, I still haven't found one time where I said "I wish I had it back" in 2 years, personally.

Not much sticks to my glass and beside some standing beads it never gets to the point where I can't see out of it. In snow as well, once it defrosts it rolls off anyway.

Its 1 1/8"

If you want a fancy plug you can get it from Uro Tuning (I know you like cleanliness)

Uro-Wiper-Delete Rear Wiper Delete Plug, Mk4/Mk5/Mk6/Mk7 Golf/GTi and B5/B6/B7/B8 Wagons

I actually got a free sample from www.caplugs.com a couple years back which worked perfectly, you can try to get a sample from them as well. No silicone was needed as it was a snug fit and snapped right in place.

BPF-1 1/8-6 - If you can get a sample order they will send you 2.

Prop how is/was the trip? I haven't seen any recent updates in the other thread I don't think.

Thought I would make you sick...
Question 1 - Why when I attempt to upload an image, is there is a pop-up window asking me for the url? I always have to attach as a file?
Questions 2 - Why do some members, when posting pics of their car, obscure the licence plate? Is this for security purposes or what?

Question 2

Should You Bother Obscuring Your License Plates In Photos?

I don't block it out.

Thanks for the link. Not really an issue over here. Plates are issued to the vehicle and not the owner and stay with the car when sold, unlike in the US (or so I believe), unless they're personalised plates.

Prepare/detail the beast for the last time. Will have it listed for sale.
We have more vehicles than drivers, and the beast barely get driven since we both work from home now. Between the iS and the M5, I would have to let the iS go.

KVC I always host pictures external of xoutpost (I use google photos but you can use flikr or any of the other hosting sites) and then link the URL which is what its asking you to do.

I know you've been going back and forth for a while about selling and am sure you will have luck since the vehicle is in great shape just be sure its what you want. Maybe it was because I owned it for a short period but I regretted selling the Lemans almost immediately after buying it.
