cheers mate yeh colour should go well.

so far ive done led angel eyes (but one isnt working already so need to sort that) and black front grills, and changed the plates thats all so far. plenty of plans i would like to put kw varient 1 coilovers on it and then some wider wheels just need to work out what i can fit. this wont be till next year though, also looking at rear lip spoiler but not sure to go for the standard m3 one or go for a slightly bigger one. because the cars black im thinking of leaving it carbon fibre so it wil in the end match the carbon front splitter and other lil bits i may do for it. also ordered carbon fibre badges last week so when wheels come back ive got all new center caps and bonnet boot and steering wheel badge to match

Imageshack/ tinypic: Upload them onto there, see that picture button with a mountain and sun, click that, and copy and paste the link there.

Done & Done!

How I wished for a black 335d but nothing came up so had to grab the silver while it was around almost fully loaded (no sunroof lol). Yours will look awesome once yourre done and I agree about wheels next yr. get them around feb / march time to maximise the couple of summer months and then revert back to winter wheels for the horrendous roads we live on.

Looking forward to it buddy oh and Sumil.. The more I look at the engine cover mod, the more Im wanting it myself lol. Any ideas of a colour theme though?! Black on silver seems boring but I don't want to go too wild .. What bout orange? Lmao
