Tapatalk does all the resizing and so on. I had a problem with it for a month where I could only get it to start via the alert but that's been solved by the app folks.

^Coming along nicely. Day is shaping up to be nice too. Supposed to have more rain this week though. You going to keep her in the garage all week after the detail?

I've been using WOT Detailing off Bandera. Good guys. Not the cheapest, but I trust them with the truck, which goes a long way. Used to go to Concourse but they got ridiculously expensive and were always booked like a month out and rarely delivered on time. Definitely post pics after completion and PM your guy's contact info. Does he do ceramic coatings as well?

Gave her a wash and parked her away from everyone at work. Still glance back at her every time I take her out

Probbaly not, not a fan of the M3 sitting out in the elements with the ragtop.
Yeah, he does it all man. He's pretty much a freelance pro detailer.
Ceramic coat will help it stay shiney longer. I got that specifically because it sits outside.

All done. Wish I could see it myself. Looks amazing.
So nice the wife put it in the garage and put the M3 outside. Lol. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1b7c99dbac.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5f159a9e06.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...107517642d.jpg

Niiiice....

I can't wait until I get mine repainted and ceramicoated, but any dark colors in the Middle East makes people burst into flames like the nazi's in Raiders of the Lost Ark....

Hi Snik,

Could you offer a source for your side marker LEDs?

Thanks.

Mike

These are the ones I bought. They come in 2 flavors. 4 flat LEDs and 3 LEDs with different angles. He bought the 4 flat, I got the 3 angled. Directional visibility would be the only real difference between them I would imagine. Mine have been on since 2017. Both styles are ~$30 on Ebay.

You can also buy them from Bimmian now for $30. They used to be $50 a couple of years ago which is why I bought them on Ebay.
