Looking good Paul!

I thought about installing them, but I think they look better against darker colours, like SG.

Beaufighter's don't look too bad, mind!

Looks good man, I am thinking about getting a set also, they look GREAT on SG but my car is Arctic and I havn't seen any great pictures to make me order them! I am also saving for 162's, so 170 bucks is not worth it right now!

Paul, welcome to the blackline club, I can honestly say I've not seen any other E90's with them so its nice to be a member of an exclusive club and look slightly different to the masses. Looking forward to parking mine up next to yours

MattOz · 07-31-2006, 06:47 PM

I've fitted them to my 330d and they look great. Really make the back end of the car look so much cleaner.

I'm well chuffed with 'em - the line down the side over the handles now flows around the car instead of being interrupted by a red indicator.

At first I didn't care for them but, pardon the pun, I see the light! If I'd known about them in January before my tail lights were changed for the SVA I'd have requested them instead of what I got since I was having to pay for new lights anyway.

Cheers mate, they do look the business. Best "mod" for the money.

You're right! I priced them today and they are £165 for a SET. I was assured that that was all four items (2x each side). Wonder if that includes the insideous VAT.

Maybe I can find someone in the US that would like to buy the red/amber tail lights to replace the standard all red.

I got mine for £120 shipped from Germany off eBay.

booforty · 08-03-2006, 03:40 PM

Me too, I paid about £110 all in shipped from Germany, bargain, and self install

Chris33 · 08-08-2006, 01:29 PM

Wow,that was cheap! The cheapest I could find them on ebay was £135.00 + £35 postage!
I purchased mine from BMW for £140 (got a discount) and fitted them myself. Well ripped off!

Nice touch Paul, they do make a difference.
Thanks for the email beauforty. It would be great to come to the meet. If I can make it, I will.
Hey, we could all park side by side. The "Black line" gang

booforty · 08-08-2006, 03:39 PM

Yeah, come along Chris we need more blacklines there!

- Paul - · 08-08-2006, 03:47 PM

SoYank might have them too aswell by the meet.
