Update!
Was in the garage yesterday and worked on the car. Started to put new plate near the rear right wheelhouse and also cleaned up a lot in the rear left wheelhouse. Test mounted a new part also ;)
 
My left z-beam was in bad condition so i will most likely use the one from the red car (which we throw away at the recycle center in two pieces on Tuesday, hehe)

Some Updates! I didnt think that many read it, but seems like i have over 1400 views 
This is how bad the trunk is on the car:
 .
I changed my mind quite a few time, but now i finally decided to fix the hole with this piece i got from a friends 900i MY92:
Also took care of the whole in the rear wheelhouse:
 
I finally got back the beam i left for the a company to take care of. I can say that this piece will never be rusty again, hehe
I had the car outside for a while to remove some rust with the blast-machine:
  
Also bought some NOS parts:
- Aerospoilers for the front
- Winddeflector for sunroof
- Oilfilter (old style, not sold anymore)
- Sealing strip for the trunk.
Im not particular big fan of the winddeflector, but might use it since it was used in the 80-ies. What do you think? And actually its rather good against the sun!
All for now

Yepp, i bought a blue(?) one The louvre is too much 80-ies for me  Or actually, i like them better on the 99/900 sedans..
I said it before but.. Your car is so good looking orca White aeros was never sold in Sweden (but i know yours is no aero), but they are really a nice color combo with the aero plastic.

Yeah, my white car has had an interesting past
I think any external accessories work if they work together with other styling accessories. I have seen a louvre on a black car and it looks fantastic! I think it works well because he has black wheels as well.
So, the roof hatch deflector? Yeah, I like them. They came in grey, green and blue as far as I know. The only problem I have is that the rubber has shrunk over time and isn't quite long enough to meet the ends of the deflector. |

| Louvres are really a '70s thing. I think I get away with them on the white car because of the the good black/white contrast. |

<peers out of the window and sees the Black CX>
Oui, it is mine. I have many CX's - 8 i think (!) The black one is modified to 250bhp and is mega quick! At 115mph it feels like you are just pulling off at 40mph Here are some pics:
