It's a bit hard to explain where the shop is, it's in the middle, one the right side of chula 26, the name of the shop is "Leng", if you want, i'll take a picture next time and draw a little map. If you want their phone number, just PM me!

They did a good job, took about an hour to install the suspension and rims, but I had to go to another garage to get a wheel alignment afterwards, since they did not have the proper equipment there.

Just came back from a fast romp down the motorway, up to about 180km/h, and sure, the ride is a little rougher than standard, but it's not uncomfortable. And surprisingly, no bottoming out of the suspension or rubbing of the wheels. Went down an offramp at about 100km/h, not a single squeak from the tires, the whole car was just planted

Thanks Sam!
Race Mesh Grill - Powder Coated Black - have you seen these - they are hot! See link

http://www.autowerks.com/xcart/customer/pr...=680&page=1

Do you know if these are available in Thailand? I am thinking of a pair of the black powder coated ones with the lower race mesh grill in the M5 air / brake intake area - but look at the price they ask for this. Unbelieveable.

We should get together and have a good metal working shop in Rayong make up a few sets for us!

Hot for a black set of these grills on my Titaninum silver e60... Black or chrome would look good on Pat's black E60...

But the price...!!!
Those look pretty cool! I have not seen those in any aftermarket shops, getting the grille part custom made here should not be a problem at all, but the surround part would be tougher!

Hi Guys,
Good to see you all, Well, Ted has a great idea to get the grill done locally but let me check this Grill with RPM at Ramkhamhaeng as they have this kinda things (replicas),

Your wheels are looking nice Pat, I had a chance to install those wheels on mine too but i preferred the M6 Wheels, Well whatever both 166 and Vintage looks COOL

What about the remap of 525i ! Possible !
Where is that shop in CHULA ! Can you PM me the shop's number and if possible !
Ted's AUDIO system is one of the best i have ever seen on any BMW man, it just SUCKKS, even i have got a pair of 12" Kicker's SUBS from Peter (525iSE) and he did the best Job for me within an hour and sounds good too but i bet your's is just something out of imagination,

CHEERS Guys, see ya around

The LCI tail lights are the ones on the minor change cars, that just came out. They're LED tail lights.
