I guess after all these "mods".... it was finally time for a "repair", which isn't nearly as much fun. See..... here in Belgium we have little weasel/ferret-like critters called "Marders"...... that like to crawl up under your hood where it's warm, and then steal bits and pieces from your hoodliner to..... make a nest??? ...... eat??? ...... piss of American expats that love their cars???
Beats me..... but the local BMW dealer didn't seem very surprised. In fact, they got my wife's car as well. The difference.... is that I care.... she doesn't.
175 Euro (after crazy Belgian taxes) for a new hoodliner..... and a can of "anti-Marder" spray (yea...... that's actually a thing).... and we're off.
1. Remove chewed up hoodliner.
2. Spray liberally the new hoodliner with anti-Marder spray
3. Sniff hands and realize you now smell like urine.
4. Say hello to friendly Belgian neighbors who don't speak English.... but were nice enough to give expressions of pity that an animal ate my beautiful car.
5. Make wife smell my hands.... because it's funny.
6. Take pictures...
7. Go take shower..... because there's no way wife is coming near me tonight smelling like I do.
