Pop the backs off and shove the little packets of silica gel in there you get with most things new.

They absorb the moisture

Better with the full length GT splitter.Looks much better and more agressive.Hates speedbumps tho

Nah all M3s had the lower splitter bud.

Don't drill more holes in the headlights. Put some silica sachets in the backs of them (ones you et with new trainers/shoes etc), this will then absorb any moisture.

I've already got a packet in there but I suppose I could put more in, maybe if I dry it out first with a hairdryer, the packets will stop the moisture coming back.

Put another 5 silica packets in the head light and started giving the interior a proper clean.

Found £3.05

The state of that water, I only cleaned both door cards and 1 carpet

, then it started raining as usual

, part 2 will commence when I have time.

Fitted my HIDs

First thing to do was take the front bumper off...

I then drilled some holes in the bumper support, which is aluminium so won't rust. I then attached the transformer things using cable ties, I could have used to nuts/bolts supplied but I think cable ties are more secure as they don't tend to undo like nuts/bolts.

Then offered the bumper back up and the bracket where the bumper bolts onto was hitting the transformer things, so the bumper wouldn't go on

So drilled more holes and moved them nearer the middle.

Then it was time to take the headlights out...

Put the bumper back on and brake ducts and sensors back on...
Also I wired the bulbs up, as you can see them draped over the edge in their protective plastic things...

Then badly made my own 25mm holes using a dremel for the bulbs to go through and the grommet to sit in the hole to protect the inside from evil...

Test - dipped

Main - gets much brighter when used for about 20 seconds but couldn't be assed waiting 20 secs so is brighter in real life.

Some other pics which are hard to get a decent one

2 H1 6000k HID kits....DONE

Fairy liquid and warm water, does the job really well and has the addedness of anti-bacterial stuff as well. I used a sponge which fell apart and left very small pieces of sponge around....so don't use a sponge

, a kitchen cloth will do.
