Looking great. I really fancy those wheels on mine. I've been buying bits for mine recently too. Got some genuine BMW performance bits after much hunting.

Looks tidy, very cool without the plate but bound to run into trouble not having it on

Yeah I couldn't be bothered with the hassle or having to have the plate in the window. Does look better though :(

So woke up this morning with a stinking hangover [emoji23] decided I'd do something productive and give the car a clean ! Also gave it a wax just used autoglym HD wax, always works well for me. Also got some new exhaust tips from BMW was the one thing at that rear that needed changing and had bugged me since I bought the car !

Took a trip to BMW again to pick up a part that had been bugging me ever since I bought the car, the heater relocation! Hated the look of it just being pushed in.

Decided the colour coded grills weren't for me anymore so got some chrome grills and put the black slats in as the chrome on chrome was too much.

Before

Chrome on chrome vs chrome on black

Car is ridiculously dirty in desperate need of a clean.
 
Same as mine mate, chrome/chrome is too much but black slats looks perfect IMO. Mine is also a non-Sat Nav model so have been looking at options, either oem retrofit or a similar unit to yours.

Treated it to wash and clay barred and put on autoglym SRP and also Autoglym HD wax. Come up really good. Really thinking I want some eibach springs also thinking of getting piano black dash strips.

Best colour for them. I looked for one in that colour but ended up with black. Could it do with some new side repeaters? Look a little yellow though could be pics.

Snap, I already have mine, just don't have the car back to fit it.

Personally I think that's a mistake. A nice rear silencer is all they need.

Few of the ride height after, not finished still will probably make a few adjustments but I'd had enough for today ! I'm pleasantly surprised I thought I wouldn't get on or off my drive but I was find also took it for a little drive went over a few speed bumps and I was okay. So I'm really happy. Ride hasn't got worse probably better and handling is defiately better, however yet to give it a proper test.

Pics anyway cars filthy and only the driveway nowhere interesting

Looks spot on! Does the Simota sound awesome? I can't wait to get mine back and get it fitted!

Thanks. Yeah the Simota is great I didn't really think it would make that much of a difference but it's really good gives it a nice sound !

Very nice

Too low at the back imo though

Thanks. Yeah I agree the back needs to come up to probably match the front a bit more as it is too low.

Looks awesome, but as above.
I'd raise the back 5-10mm. :smiley:

Thank you. Yeah will get this done over the next few days.
