Quick trip to my mates bodyshop

Took a quick trip down to my mates bodyshop to see how he is gettingon with the mrs 335

The bumper and side skirts are now off the car (i'm also having the bonnet painted and the wings blended in)




ACS front lip is on



Gen part



side skirts are also being painted



ACS add ons to the side skirts



i'm also going to have the engine covers colour coded to the brakes as well as the air scoops.

While the headlights are out I am going to lamin x them as well as the fog lights and also fit some whiter H8 bulbs into the fogs and some 6000k xenon bulbs to replace the factory xenon ones.

I'll get some pics up next week when its back together as the mrs is pottering around in the dog mobile!

I see what you did there.



Well, maybe the new coat of paint and AC parts will give the car a new leash of life.

Thanks WS I realise that the higher the colour temp the bluer the light just wanted to see if this mod was a subtle improvement over Oem xenon (which is too subtle over halogen) or something over the top ? Look forward to the pics!
