BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Grille
Operation: Front grille plasticized paint

If you want to give a more aggressive look to the front of your car, you can think of painting the front grille in matt black: the best solution is to remove the grids and place them on a work surface covered with paper to clean. the grids themselves carefully and then varnish them; however, if you choose the famous plastidip paint, which rather than paint deposits a thin rubber film, it is possible to paint the grilles by leaving them installed on the hood and making a rough masking around it; once the application is complete, it will be possible to remove the part of the film deposited on the bodywork around the grill.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
