BMW F20 M Sport 125i - from dirty to clean
« on: 09 March 2013, 18:45 »
With the crapy weather of late not really had a chance to give the 1ner a damn good clean.

So I set a side a couple of hours this afternoon to give her a good old 2 bucket wash.

Before..........









After............

Many thanks. The M Performance black gloss kidney grille was my first mod. Had it fitted at the dealers.

Was horrified to find that the exhaust tips have corrosion pitting already. Now I wash the car fairly regularly and always include the exhuast which I polish and seal with meguiars Nxt.

My GTi exhaust tips where as good as new after 3 years. Shall see what the dealer has to say. Not good enough IMO.
