Also, looking to do some sort of ducts in place of the fogs but haven't really seen it done on a lci m sport. Anyone attempted this?

Looks great! makes the car look so much newer, maybe do some new exhaust tips?

Definitely the next thing on the list, just trying to find the time to tackle the PE mod, but thinking some 4" tips would look killer.

Beautiful. Where did you buy the parts?

Thanks! I actually got everything off ebay and was pleasantly surprised with the quality and fitment of all the parts

Twin_Snails · 06-17-2018, 04:43 PM

Such a difference that the m-sport bumpers make, it looks so much better.

M-Sport bumpers totally transform these cars. Gave mine a new lease on life, too. Looks great! Planning on doing the LCI hood next?

It might actually be the very next thing I do haha. Unfortunately the car got caught out in a hail storm today and the car took some pretty big hits, so as long as it doesn't get totaled out a lci hood will be coming very soon!

And on a side note if anyone has any insight or tips for dealing with hail and insurance claims, I would love to hear them

Poison32 · 06-19-2018, 01:55 PM

That’s looking sweet fella wheels look nice I was going to fit these on my e92 but changed my mind at the last minute��

They came primered and I took them to a shop near me to have them painted

ThugzZ BunnY · 06-21-2018, 09:18 AM

stock ride height? if so, what size wheels and tires?

VMRWheels · 06-21-2018, 05:39 PM

The M Sport bumper really gives the car a more modern look! Nice setup!

G3RM4N · 06-22-2018, 01:58 PM

Hey, What did you use to tint/cover the amber reflectors on the headlights? I'm going for the same look, tinted, rather than completely blacked out.

pelon222 · 06-22-2018, 04:26 PM

Really Nice, well done and clean looking!!

You shot me a PM on IG last week. Any update on how insurance is handling the claim?

mike@x-ph.com · 06-26-2018, 05:46 PM

Nice

I just found some precut vinyl overlays online, but if I'm honest I wish I went with the full black, up close the opacity looks kinda weird with the lines of the actual amber part lining up due it being inside the headlight if that makes sense.

I actually left for Europe the day after the Hail storm, so the car has just been sitting. So other than a few emails back and forth I'm not quite sure what's going to happen to it at the moment. Hoping to get someone to look at the car once I get back in town and will know more by the end of the week.
