Hi All

I have done a few mods and thought i would post some photos. I'm very happy with how she looks now and i don't really have much else lined up other than new exhaust tip or backbox next month.

Since last time i posted pics i have fitted carbon fibre front splitter and rear diffuser(thanks Icekube, led rear lights and angel eyes headlights.

Also after my little incident, i canvassed opinion on here and my facebook as to the best colour scheme for my alloys. The favourite by some way was the black and silver, which i went for in the end and i am really happy i did, even if its much harder to keep them looking clean compared to the shadow chrome colour i had before.

I had a play with gimp on the first couple of pics just for fun.











Opinions welcome.

I want to but the car has had diamondbrite applied . So when i removed the badge its got a 320D mark imprinted into the sealant . I've been trying to think of things i can put in its place but don't want to look like a barry.

Just needs a machine polish over where it was left.


Diamond brite is snake oil

I did read this also and keep thinking to give it a try at some point. Thats when i can persuade my mate to lend me his polisher
I'd like the whole car done to get rid of it, it actually looks like they just cleaned car and then applied it over horrible scratches without even polishing it.

Thank you. No mate, off the shelf, plug and play ebay special. Took about 3-4 hrs to fit as first time taking bumper off and these BMW's have alot of screws!

At £220 i think they are a bargain personally. And didn't throw up and warnings either :-)

I go to Peterborough occasionally but not usually any further than that.

Yeh, i agree, does look much better with the splitters. I got them from a member on here, but they were just a one off sale for him.

Ahh sweet well ive been looking about for them. Found some on sssd motorsport. Will most likely be adding them to the list at some stage
