Today I installed my Qi charger with magnetic holder for my iPhone 12 Pro. I put the charging cable through the dashboard.

So it cannot be seen

Does someone know when the 12V sockets switch off?

Mine's at 39k nearly and still on original plugs and coils and it runs like a rocket without hiccups, don't need a dyno on it I can feel it pumping it's all. I use red ex fuel additive every time I fill up keeping injectors primed and plugs like new.

Center diffuser. Doesn't line up 100% perfectly, but that's probably my fault.

RW Carbon or different make?

I have a similar issue, front and back... close to perfect fit and quality is good, but get what you pay for!

I bought a used M Performance wheel and cleaned it up good with Sonax so it feels pretty new, installed the red M1/M2 buttons, and installed Blackline aluminum paddle shifters. Totally changes the feel of being behind the wheel as opposed to the grandpa-like feel of the 2013 wheel, it feels like I'm actually driving a high perfmance car.

Made a few mods over past several days...

RW Carbon rear center diffuser - like others, reasonable fit and good price
CF AutoTecknic Paddle shifters w White +/-
NBT EVO upgraded Navigation, additional writeup below:

Is the grip material alcantara and was it just plug and play or did it need coding.

[SCD-1983]

The OEM M Performance steering wheel is alcantara and the Installation doesn't require any coding, it's plug and play, easy job!

Nice to know

[Blaxwil]

All wasn't done today but I've held off from updating to this thread for a few weeks.

Replaced the 20" HRE 300 Classics with a set of 21" BC Forged HCS21's and wrapped them with Michelin's Pilot Sport 4S's 275/30/21 in the front and 325/25/21 in the rear. Went with a brushed gold tint face and polished deep lip.

Replaced the stock springs with a set of KW V4 coilovers and lowered the front about 1.50 inches and the rear about 1 inch. The drop is proper in my opinion.

Dinan Mono Balls installed along with brand new competition control arms.

PSM Dynamic Carbon Fiber Aero Kit. Went with the side skirts, trunk spoiler and the 3 piece rear diffuser. Didn't go with PSM's front splitter as I have a Vorsteiner one in the mail. All CF parts received 2 coats of Armor Shield ceramic coating.

Brand new front and rear rotors with CarboTech 1521 pads on all four corners. Brake fluid flush and replaced with Motul 600 RBF racing brake fluid.

[Solo_M_Tech]

It's not much, but it's honest work.

[SpeedProtocol]

mans dropping the big money.

carbotechs gonna keep those rims clean.

[Blaxwil]

I've had most of the parts for over a year now. 2nd set of CarboTech 1521's. Super low dust compared to the stock pads. Plus they have good bite.

I didn't do all this today, but I feel like this build is done. Im just driving it and enjoying it.
