I picked up a 320d coupe in space grey yesterday, nice car but I'd like to do a few things to it.

Any suggestions/links to where I can buy the following?
H8 Cree bulbs (I think this is the name, the brighter/whiter bulbs for the angel eyes)
Smoked repeaters
Gloss black grilles
Black carpets

A few other things I'd like to get done, but think this is more local based - I'm in Stevenage if anyone has any ideas

Tint rear lights/windows
Twin exhaust tips welded on

I'm also after some 18" CSL's, if anyone has any for sale.

Thanks in advance

In regards to the H8 LED bulbs, there are many types of them ranging to £20 to over £150!

But in my experience there is very little difference between them. The expensive ones' do not really perform much better to warrant the price difference. The bottom line is the outer ring will always be dim compared to the inner one. In the day time, the outer will barely be visible.

For example, here is a car with the expensive Lux bulbs fitted. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...2&postcount=17

Look at the 2nd pic, you can hardly see the ring. Thats the same with all cheap and expensive variants.

For window tints I have used these guys in Luton previously: http://www.ttints.co.uk
Great price & service.

On the exhaust, a full exhaust from an E92/E93 330d will bolt straight on, but you need the full exhaust from after the DPF flexijoint (there's a clamp there). You can't mix & match backboxes from a 330d onto yours as the 330d has 65mm pipework, the 320d has 55mm.
The E90/E91 looks similar, but the tip lengths are longer on the E92/E93.
