Car is looking amazing socks

Very unique and tastefully modded.
Love it.

Cars looking amazing! You really need to get the M3 gas struts for your lighter bonnet, they're a bit softer and stop the bonnet from shooting up and makes the bonnet easier to close.

Just remove it, it doesn't do much. My 135i doesn't even come with it from the factory

Front end look much more aggressive with eyelids on the headlights.

kookie · 07-10-2016, 06:59 PM

Great transformation.
Looks sleepy now

Hey socks

Sorry to bug.

Your exhaust tips, are they single or double walled.

Im doing some research to replace mine but feel like the single walled ones might look bigger when looking into them like your pic below.

Had the harness since last year lol. Its a quick fit harness that clicks into the existing seat belt mounts.

Takes 30 seconds to remove so I only fit them for drive days and track days.

Highly recommended, can't imagine doing hard driving without it now.

Do you have a link mate?

looking awesome Socket! Are the eyelids mounted on the inside or outside? I can't decide but leaning towards outside

I bought mine used from eBay for $200 and mines actually a 'Quick fit pro' with a better central buckle (mines the one with the round central buckle). Also mine included the shoulder pads which are kind of handy.

Make sure you get the right hand side.

Seems like this will solve the CF bonnet issue that leaving a big gap between front bumper and the bonnet?
