Clearly they'd never seen the Sienfeld episode about George and the pigeon and understood that birds are meant to get out of the way of cars...

Those pesky magpies at it again.

Hit 30k and still enjoying the cars handling after two years. Love it and still look back when I walk away. Just wanted to gush. Have a great week 😊

I wish! Magpies are great birds and very smart. They know the rules and get out of the way. Not so the Ibis ( a large water bird). There is a reason we call them "bin chickens"...

I think for the OEM one you can rotate the lens to adjust image, but mine was fixed.

That’s maybe the $15 version.

Firmed up the ride a bit. Steering and handling feels more responsive.

Looks great! I might have to do this to get rid of the body roll. Did this help with the body roll?

Yes. It firmed up the ride a bit. But still very comfortable.

Going into turns or curves feels more planted. Less floatyness and body roll.

But still definitely not a stiff sports car feel.

I did this as I couldnt get used to it as one unit after having an E46 for 26 years, looks much better irl. Like the rocker panels it just feels right to me.

Did you have to remove any pieces or was it painted on the vehicle?
