Friends of mine asked me to do the honours of bringing them to the church. Having looked at pictures of wedding car web-sites, I have to say I didn't find too many black cars on 19s with sport packs Anyway, found a few ideas to make mine look like a wedding car and not too mean The most important part however, was that the minature-champaign bottles fitted perfectly into the rear armrest cup-holders and put a big smile on the happy couples face ...job done!

Here are the pics I took of my ride in the car park-

You loop the ribbon around the bonnet's fastening latch - obviously you do this with the bonnet only a 10-20 centermeters open. As the latch is a few centermeters within the bonnet, it is easy to get ribbon to lie flat when it comes out over the lip. Then attach each end to the sunvisors. Worked like a dream and held no problem on the motorway at 120kph / 70mph.

Sorry, no close up photos.

Hope all goes well for you when you play chauffeur...

Ah, one VITAL piece of info is missing... you need 6 meters of ribbon.

I had 5 meters which was enough to get it to the sunvisors, but not enough to tie it securely so had to add some extra ribbon on each end within the car to keep it looking clean on the outside Live and learn hey

Apart from the magnificent bride I quite like the chromed kidney grille on your car. I have a sapphire black 520d with the standard grille. Did you fix the upgrade yourself?

Grazed knuckles prove I did it

Looks much better IMHO
