The black “B” Post starts to delaminate and causes this crazed effect. Looks like it has been sprayed black at some time but is now coming off. Up to 187k miles on mine and still in ace condition.
I've picked up some carbon fiber effect wrap as well as some gloss black, I'll show how it looks in the next video. Is yours petrol or diesel? I'm having some DPF issues with mine..
@@carsteve_ourworld8947 320 Diesel, but with the Brabus D6 tuning box which effectively gives the same output as the last Grand Edition models. Have just had a set of new heater plugs fitted, the last set went in 60k ago, Apart from that, road springs, dampers, engine mounts and several suspension/steering joints. I must admit, I chose the 2008 facelift as I didn’t want any DPF problems.
Nice, sounds like a beast!! how much BHP are you generating? Mine is no where near that level yet but I've got some ideas, have already done front suspension and rear springs driving alot better.... But nothing more until I resolve the DPF issue!!!
@@carsteve_ourworld8947 I believe it was dealer fitted from new and I think they’re about 272 bhp and 590 Nm. I didn’t realise it was there until I found it under the cabin filter.
