no it doesnt need replaced but was an option to replace the full lot in one go although I think I would just go for the rear box first and maybe later do the rest, will have a look into the custom stuff do you know any companies?

trip computer

On my trip computer when you select the consumption to MPG it converts the temp to Deg Farenheit from Deg Celcius, just something thats been niggling me for a while. Does anybody know if you can have it in Deg C and MPG?

Re: manual hood to eletric hood

Has anybody got a pic of the electric hood and the extra bit over the drivers head, I think this might be what I have but not to sure, had a look at the receipt from bmw when this was converted and there isnt any mention of a new hood mechanism or cover change

Seems to be the consensus.......dont touch!! Ive seen alot of threads on people complaining about the elec hood, so do you think it is more desirable to have a manual roof then?

Im not keen on the vinyl and would like to get a painted one or get it painted. Does anybody know how big a job this is? I have heard that once you strip the vinyl off it isnt...
