    What bugs you about your car that no one else notices?

    When I look at my car, all I see are the things that bug me.

    The bumpers aren't a perfect match, little dents, nicks and scratches, the torn front seats, the OBC light out, the loud drivers side window regulator, the worn paint on the headlight button etc. As far as E30s go, my car is in GREAT shape, but there are still so many little things that aren't perfect, and it NEEDS to be perfect.

    I know most of you are the same way when it comes to your cars, so list the things that bug you that most people wouldn't notice. It will make me feel better.

    Carpet stains, crappy floormats, cracked instrument cluster plastic.

    People notice all the other problems.

                  Both doors are slightly discolored, chipped window, deep scratches over every surface of the car thanks to a wet-sanding mishap from the PO. The part that bugs me most is the faded paint, but I'm pretty sure everyone notices that..

                    Broken OBC display, a dent in my front valence, a small shallow dent on my hood, Rieger Infinity lip is half a centimeter off on one side, small dent on front left quarter panel, headliner loose on sunroof, and a crack in, and the lack of a working rear defroster.

                    Nobody notices the dents unless they closesly examine them, but I hate seeing them on a Schwartz!

                    No longer stock ride height, rolling as low as a daily driver in New England should without worrying about breaking an oil pan. :up:

                      There's a row of about 6-7 tiny dings down my passenger side rear quarter panel, just above the tire well. I think they're from spot welds from when my car was repaired after it was rear-ended a few years before I bought it.

                      There's a spot just under my rear license plate area in the metal right above the bumper, that's kind of dented in slightly, and in the middle of the dent, there's this wierd little spot of exposed metal, kind of rusty looking.

                      And there's this low rattle, almost a clunking coming from (what sounds like) in front of my sunroof, above the passenger side. It's not the sunroof, and it's really hard to pinpoint if it's actually in the roof or not, I don't know what it is, and it drives me CRAZY.

                      And I think my rear main seal has a slow leak, along with my tranny input shaft seal.

                      Other than that, nothing really. I fucking love my car. Just got done washing it, in fact.

                          My clutch hidraulic cylinder is busted and leaks fluid, really slow, but about one morning a month I am without clutch, I add about 1/2 a qt a month, the rest is quite noticeable. :p

                              the evoIII front splitter has an opening in it to allow airflow through the oil cooler to go back down under the car. I keep forgetting to get around to securing that, so it just flaps down and looks like shit when you look under the car.

                              that and my front grill seems to be about 1/4" too low.
