LOL where I live or where the photoshoot was?
it was a couple of places, but near each other.
I polished the car with some carnuba before shooting. And of course, it rained the next day![Tongue](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/tongue.gif)
PS I was trying to keep the modding theme to "could be mistaken for factory". Of course, that black Alpina sign on the airdam screws that up - I had the front repainted recently and the painter took the liberty of "surprising" me with the black Alpina sign and the black lip. The lip I actually really like how it looks in black, the sign - hated it at first, but so many people have since complemented me on it, I've almost learned to live with it. But what do you guys think? To a layman, does it obviously look modded?
