Minor mods and question

[Tazojla]

Hi Guys,

Gave the X5 a quick wash and did a few minor mods.

Huge thanks to jimf15e for helping me figure out how to get the damn cradle out, opens up the whole centre console.

Added some LED license plate lights that I got off eBay, I know some don't see a point in them but I think it makes the car look a little bit better especially until I source some LCI tails. They're not overly bright and it's hard to show in pictures but they look fantastic in person and take 5 minutes to put in and cost £15.

Also while washing the car I realised that the left wheel arch has got a massive amount of chips on it to the point where there is almost no paint, didn't know whether this was common or not as I'm going to have it re-sprayed and get some vinyl over it probably 3M Xpel, wanted to know your thoughts on that stuff
Thanks
