well its almost there, finally got my suspension sorted, and wow its like a different car now, i've done a few other things to it as well, like new wheels, angel eyes, smoked front and side repeaters and smoked rear light units too, there's also some black and white roundels on the bonnet and boot and centre caps as well, i've got a few other things planned for the future like a full respray and shadowline all the trim, and then its time to get some more power from the engine, i've not yet decided which route i'm gonna go with that yet, but all in good time,
here's some pics

wow looks good!, you should tape off the top of the angel eye, it'll look better, imo, i have depo angel eyes, i masked the top off with electrical tape. and got a bavauto headlight trim.

heres a pic of mine,

thanks mate, i've already tried the tape thing but my depo's get hot on low beam and melt the tape, i forgot to say that i also put in a full black leather interior and that it's also been chipped, btw nice motor you've got there, i like the 5 sign on the wall in your pics, nice touch

What kind of headlights are those? Also what is your paint code?



Where did you get those smoked corner lights, did you do that yourself? I love hte look, I MUST switch out the crystals i have for smoked corners

the head lights are depo's, the corner and side repeaters and rear lights i got them all off flea bay, and the colour is delphin grey:) overall i think it makes for a nice looking combination

looks great.. now all you need is some eyelids to fix the depo lights and you're good to go!

I'm firmly convinced narrow grilles look better. More BMWesque.
