Back from some body shop dings and dents. Just did the E70 front wiper blad retrofit, and installed black chrome front grills. Ooooh Ha she (X53) is looking sweet.

Replaced the AC compressor/condensor, bled the brakes, got rid of the CDV, and installed delrin clutch pedal bushings. Should have done these long ago.

Most people change out a condenser because it has a slow leak. UV dye will confirm the location of the leak. It's not feasible to repair a leaky condenser. Cheaper to replace it with new.

What part are you referring to?
Do you mean the grille? What I did was, I took the grille pieces out and dipped the chrome parts. They come out and go back in early easy
