how old is the baby?
The 1st 3 months we milk them and after the 3 months we gave it to the helper.
So we can get a good night sleep for work the next day.
she's 8mo old now, my wife quitted work and she wanna spend more time with baby... helper deals with baby in daytime but wife do the nite shifts, no choice here but stay home every night after 11p to show support.

The fenders look OK, but they are certainly not cheap for two pieces of fiberglass. Needless to say, they are worth the money and effort.

I am still waiting for my black shadowline trim to come. It has been 7 weeks now and still no news yet. Maybe they use camels to transport them from the German factory ??
haha most of the time is spent on finding the camels!! update your sig fotos with new ones man to show the fenders!

Hi .. new to the forum I have a 04 525i w/ Halogen headlights, and am interested in xenon ones. So if I get a pair off ebay or something, do u guys know a reliable shop to do the install work for me. Please don't say the dealer, I've asked and they won't do the work unless I buy the parts from them ... and the total cost ... $31000+ HKD!!!!!!!

Also do u guys know any HK shops for other mods ... spoiler ... intake ... etc? any recommendations?

thx in advance
Welcome to the E60 family FW525
If you just want the HID look, you can change your halogen bulbs to aftermarket Xenon lights, this is probably the cheapest option that you can get. Around 1000HKD + installation (Few hundreds)
If you after the OEM xenon lights, you probably require programming your car to get everything work without error code, which you might require to take back to the dealer unfortunately.
As i believe the mechanism are different between halogen and xenon...eg. angel eye...etc

Most of us go to SingFai motorsport for maintaince and tuning..and you can get most parts at there at reasonable price
And we always go there for chit chat and blow water

thanks for the replies ... I can feel the warmth already ... lol. But ur right ... I dont have angel eyes, or xenon (projectors?) Thats why I'm interested in switching a pair (like this on ebay ... (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3AIT&viewitem=) item number: 230325974955 ... looks like the pair has everything I need? maybe I can get a pair like this and just take it to SingFai?

Any help will be much appreciated ...

Welcome, FW525. To add on Keith's comment, I believe Sing Fei had done the OEM xenon lights mod for a E90 before (Angus' car). So no need to go back to factory for it. However, it sure costs a fortune though.
