Welcome! nice car you got there. And I though I was running low... :D How's the ride quality? Rubbing much?

This is probably first 112 dci I've seen remapped, really interested in those graphs.

Well, ride quality it's nice. The front end flexes slightly. The rear end does not stretch at all :D. Should get be some flexibility. I have first 8,5" wheels and 215/40/17 tyres and rubbing front all time. When i change 195/40/17 tyres rubbing is gone. And the rear end does not scratch even though it was 2 people in the back seat. Front arches is a little spread phonebook :D The rear arches are cut off from the edges

Thanks for your comments! I try take a new picture on weekend if it's good weather.
 
Hey! All kinds of things happened recently. First my rear shock absorbers went to the cross.

Like that. My friend do new M10 -thread.
I try little light dark.

Rear light is too dark. Front light is good dark but film is not going good. There have little wrinkles. Now rear and front dark have gone. New dark film is coming.

But, car look like that now.

Next, i need to make the back of the upper end of the new mounts and buy 195/40/17 tires in the rear. Once these have been calculated up to the rear end of 2-3 cm.
 
Looks awesome in the last two pics.

Not keen on the dark film. I'm thinking about a very very light smoke tint on my rear lights. Just to take the pinky peach colour out of them.
 
pretty nice stance you got there, so what's the wheel width and offset you're running now? Really liking how the rear sits now. You'll need some proper cannon to swap that stock backbox.

Wheels are RH ZW1 adapter wheels. I have every corner 25mm (if i remember right) 4x114,3 -> 4x100 adapter. Front wheels are 17x8,5 and et 53 but there have adapter so et are 28. Rear wheels are 17x9 and et 47 but adapter so et are 22. Front tyre are 195/40 and rear tyre are 205/40.
 
Lovely looking snow-plow you have there :-)

Give tinting spray a go. Lots of light coats then a good polish. More subtle and refined than Laminex if you get it right and you can precisely choose how dark you go. Laminex is better for protection but that's only relevant on the front.
 
I would have thought that film would have more of an even look though? You must be able to choose a very light tint like you can with window tinting?
 
Laminex is pretty thick which is a win for protection but not so good for application to tricky shapes. Even doing N15 fogs was a fiddle. Might be more pliable with heat but wouldn't want to do anything more complex than fogs or headlights with it. There are about 4 shades of Laminex smoke but with a spray you get infinite shades, it's cheap, easy enough to do odd shapes and it scrubs off with petrol if the five-oh get unreasonable at the roadside.
 
Lamin-X is easy to apply with hair dryer and patience also why all the effort to spray lens then gets smashed by a stone chip.

Yeah I would assume it's like applying vynl wrap, where you need some heat and then it's very malleable. Any tint film will do on rear lights, doesnt have to be Lamin-X.
 
This story is end. Either driveshaft is broken. Well, i start looking new driveshaft. New drive shaft spare parts are 450e track. Accessory not found in finland (or ebay) and scrap yard rare. So, i sold this car off.

Scrap people can't send from the UK? I have the long shaft for a 5 speed YD which I could have sent you.
 
Yeah I know you've sold it off. I was just saying you should have asked on here we probably could have helped you.
