Are they? They're huge on my iPad. Will check them out on the mac and resize them if needed.
EDIT: Went on my mac and they're normal size, whut'chu talkin' bout fool? I'm sure you can dude, I just searched on eBay for them. If you search e90 angel eye led or something along those lines I'm sure you'll get something. May be different bulbs from the coupe though, I'm not actually sure.

So next on the list was the most important mod.
Put the car up on the ramp, and got the coilovers in. Got the coilovers off a forum member for a very very good price after only been used for a month by himself. They're FK coilovers, & to be honest, I only got these to do me for a short period as well, until I had a bit of spare cash to get a set of bc coilovers but I'm so impressed with the ride that I'm going to keep these in for the time being anyway. My brother has his e60 dropped on bc-racing coilovers and has the dampening set to as stiff as it goes so of course it's going to be bumpy, but I expected the fk's to run worse and I was pleasantly surprised at the fact they didn't feel much different to the stock m sport suspension! Any way, on with the fitting. Terrible picture, but uh ohhh... Had to fit a set of 5mm spacers that I had lying around in the front to clear the shock. & viola... Always loved the raked look! . . . . . . . . . . . lol, jk. Makes such a difference lowering it. Have about 5mm to go down in the front still but I think my tyres are too big to allow the extra drop May try it though and see how it goes. Adjusters and helper springs are all still in so when I get my new wheels with decent stretch I can go down a good bit more

Not sure why it's like that, had a look on my iPad, Mac and Windows laptop and they're all fine

Another package came
Always thought the stock M Sport diffuser looked out of place with the plasticky grey finish. May look ok with different colours, but against the BSM it just didn't do anything for me at all, actually annoyed me when I looked at it! So I decided to give it a go with plasti-dip so as I could just rip it straight off if I didn't like how it turned out. Had read people saying it was hard/tricky to get the diffuser off, so I planned on taping the surrounding area off & spraying on the car but after trying this for about a minute I got annoyed and thought it seemed like more hassle! Turns out you just need to unscrew about 5 screws and the diffuser pops off pretty easily. Give it a spray (about 8 layers) popped it back on, and was pleased with the outcome. This is the most current mod I've done in the space of 2 weeks since I've had the car. C&C welcome Have a couple more plans for the future (apart from new rims);
Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated, thanks

Found a few hamman style, but not sure if I like them with the ends flicking up .. liking the look of this one as it's pretty plain http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2707903071...84.m1423.l2648 Haven't got mega bucks to spend so wouldn't want to spend much more that £200 on one. As for the wheel set up, again I don't have mega bucks to spend on them so I don't think I'm going to be able to get any nice splits.. not new anyway you might be able to help me out, throw me a few ideas.. Would like to go as wide as possible with a good bit of stretch so I don't have to do any major fender mods!

You can always go 9.5 et20ish front and 11 rear et25ish sound about right to me. And for a stretch a 225/35 and 245/35 would work for you. I guess if your on a budget you could always look at reps :

Can get them in 19 x 8.5 et35 / 10 et35 or et15 / 11 et15. Was on http://www.willtheyfit.com using the calculator to see what if I could pull off the 11 rears and 10 fronts, but the 10's with et35 will be too much towards the shock so cant really work them, and the et15 could be too low even with a good stretch. Can't find any other reps really with good specs Going to keep a look out on some UK sites to see if there's any nice spec rims being sold on

Not sure why, like thumbnails for you? They're just normal on all the devices I've used.. maybe it's to do with the browser you're using
Had been 'watching' a set for a bit and they were at about £55 or £60ish, then seen the guy had 30 on offer for £49.99, so ordered a set up. Here's the link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2810545858...84.m1497.l2649
