Not today but DIY'd the M Performance spoiler last weekend. Learned the hard way what not to do with the scotch wheel, but the yellow marks were minimal.

Say more… Is the adhesive wheel a bad idea? I used it on the rear emblem without issue, but that’s a much smaller surface area.

Toffee or caramel wheel worked great on my spoiler removal - no issues.

I think I learned two things.

1) When the wheel is brand new, it might need to be broken in. I felt like the surface was more prone to “bleeding” than the underlying material.

2) Confirmed this in other posts but going slow is key. At the outset, I was too aggressive with the drill.

Hope this helps.

Also need to keep checking the temp of the wheel when using it. If it is too hot to touch with your bare skin, it's getting too hot for the surface.

Time to replace the brake pads. Going to iSweeps was the best thing I've done to the car.

I know it, just hard coming to grips with dropping $600 replacing basically brand new OEM pads.

I think I am going to stick out the first set then replace with something less dusty when I replace them.

I'm sure there are free apps out there for making animated GIFs, but I used Photoshop - https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/...ake-a-gif.html

Switched from 15mm spacers to 20s all around. Maybe it’s just me but besides thinking the car looks better it also feels more planted on the road specially when cornering.
