Looks great Alex, I just had a read through the whole thread, massive improvement, I almost bought an identical car but I went black instead!

Where did you get the exhaust? A custom built jobbie?

Looking forward to seeing it with the new rims on!

Thanks for that mate, it's about were I want it now!

The exhaust is a BCS back box, just fits straight on and is great! A few people on here have them, only thing you need to do is cut your old box off!

Yeah I'm excited to see the new rims on! Although, after seeing dests e91 I want some CSL's ha!!

My Dads been miethering me about the bulbs for my halos and i kept saying no, again you find yourself another convert lol.

Also as for changing the high beam bulbs how the F**K do you do it, Ive got some better Phillips ones but cant get the pigging cover off the back of the light. Im debating taking the bumper off then the lights LOL.

Sorry I missed this!

Don't take the bumper off, won't help you!

Take off the front half of the arch liner and that gets you to the back if the light!

Then you can swap AE bulbs and main beam!

Thanks mate, i appreciate that, especially from someone who has a beautiful example of 3er themselves!

Yeah the drop is perfect, glad i went with the H&R and hardly noticeable comfort change from the Msports!

I actually really enjoyed doing the xenon and washer retrofit, it was easier than i thought actually, but still abit of a faff ha!

Thanks

Thanks for that mate! Appreciate it!

I test drove an a4 sline 2l tdi before buying mine but was underwhelmed by it!

The bm was certainly the better choice and it has put me off a lot of audis now!

Get one bought

Typical! Lol i only bought this as i got it at a good price for the spec and i know the guy quite well through work.

When i get some cash saved i might look at a PX but really need to drive one first.

Keep up the good work though dude.
