Some pics of the exterior stuff i had done to the car recently.
- Black Kidney's
- smoked fogs
- smoked taillights & indicators
- had rims sprayed gunmetal, cant see them nicely in the pics :(
- and i finally put on my bmwfanatics sticker (no pic here tho)

this is what it looked like before 120 before admittedly the camera used to take these was a bit kak compared to the before pics.

Your car is looking really good, although I have to say the grilles are looking a bit strange, but maybe it is just me :thinking:

What you could maybe do is keep the centre bits of the grill matte and do the round bits in gloss so that they fit in more with the car.

thank you. yeah lamin-x, but i took it to someone to do it for me..i dont trust me :)
wrapping the originals did occur to me, but only after i had done the lights - lol maybe i should consider it, instead of re-investing $$ in another set. prolly be much cheaper too..

Yeah definitely much cheaper and you can do it the way you want to as well, more room for experimenting:thumbsup:

Best mod you can do now is revert back to those stock grills. The new ones do not do it any justice at all.

You can spray your old grill surround or wrap them in Vinyl.

matte black.. which turned out ALOT better than what i expected! the guy at wrap masters is just f0kk3n awsum!!! it looked as if it was sprayed! anyways heres a pic.. soz for the poor quality taken with my phone..
