My new Koup

Hello and congrats...

Tips, well I'd say be careful with the paint its real thin.
Becareful when your inside your car because the plastic tends to scratch easly
For example be very careful taking your seat belt off.. some guys tend to scratch there side door panel letting the seat belt swing back too fast.

those are the the two tips I can give you too help try too keep your forte looking good.

Enjoy the new car

gratz on the buy!

is it manual or auto?

you may consider this depending on how it drives. It made a drastic improvement for me.

Congrats and welcome. Enjoy the Koup. Have an auto EX myself, and the lightweight pulley was pretty nice to get. Pics tomorrow?

Welcome to the forums. Grats on the new ride. If you haven't seen it already, here is my video and I mention about the seatbelt hitting the door and marking it.

^^ I def recommend the BMW seat belt holders that MFury shows! I got them cuz of him and first off you'll save your shoulder from reaching far back to get your seatbelt and as rainyraven said, you'll prevent the scratches on your door panel from the seatbelt flying back when u release it. Anyway, welcome to the forum and hope you love it and I'm sure u will!

I love it!!!

I will look into the seat belt thing...
The paint is thin? I was going to de-badge it, any tips?
I was going to leave it in the sun on a nice day for a few hours and do the dental floss thing for the "forte" and "Koup" as well as the trunk lid badge. I know the front has clips on the inside of the grill, I will probably get a badgeless grill for the front, I found some decent looking stuff on Ebay.
I have one pic and it is on my phone...I will upload some soon.
