Paint correction

On Saturday from 11:30 to 9:30 I did a full paint correct. I removed all swirl marks and the paint now has its shine. Polish and waxed.

Carbon Spoiler


Finished installing my carbon fiber spoiler. Sun was really bright so you really can’t see it good. I plan on painting the wheels today.

That "small tank cylinder thing" in your trunk is the air pressure reservoir for the Semi-active Air Suspension. Assuming you are talking about the one on the passenger side.

Did you take the time to inspect the fuel pump relay while you had the cover out? Those relays are a major failure point in the E55.

I figured it was for the air suspension, my father confirmed it while I was working. Pain in the *** to get off when one of my clips were stuck for the liner. And no I didn’t check it. I will soon most likely.

Nor have I seen Star Wars never excites me or entertained me. The black can’t be peeled off so no biggie.
