My Ride: 04 545i 6speed
Been a liiingerer (Pineapple Express reference) for a while now and had the chance to snap literally a "few quick pics". I'm no photographer so I haven't attempted to manipulate these nor do I want to. I'm just pleased as to where my ride's at as far as mods goes and wanted to share.
I recently purchased a breyton front lip from Praise The Lowered "E" heh heh, had it resprayed to A08 and I'm very happy with that. It adds alot to the drab stock front I bought a set of Euro headlights w/o adaptive HL which my car is originally equipped with and they seem to work ok as well w/o dash light errors. However, that little green light on the LCM flashes slowly. Not annoying at all but still there. Another quick and very cheap mod was just to swap the chrome slats from the OEM chrome grill and clip them with the matte black kidney surrounds which i actually kinda like. I also have a Valentine V1 mounted directly under the mirror using a "Super Z mini" mount found here...http://www.countryjoycrafts.com/Conn...arDetector.htm. NOTE: If you buy the mount, you will need longer screws than the ones they provide. I'm sure if you ask for them, they will provide them for you. They were nice people to deal with. I'm currently awaiting a set of wheels which I'll share at a later time.
Thanks to all on the forum that have helped, especially Eric for the breyton Lip and Edwin for the headlights!
