FINALLY - M5Tech front makes it to the UK !
Wanted this done for a long time but no one stocked it over here until now.
I'd even looked into getting it shipped over across the pond but thankfully that wasn't needed in the end.
How do you guys think it looks !?...LCI halogens to do next...just waiting on the cables

Hey buddy thanks for reply. Yeah never really thought about projector fogs with HIDs in them but sounds like a cool idea. Right now I have Mtec Cosmos Blue White 4750K bulbs from HIDs Direct in the dipped beam and fog lights. I was going to ask you about your HIDs ... I wonder if its better / easier to fit while lights are out of the car. Also have those midget angel eye LED markers in mind...you know the ones which go straight into LCI halogens without needing to but cut down.
Btw really like your matt black grills...my mod list gets longer

The projector fogs and HIDs would have been perfect to fit with the bumper off, for ease of access, just so that you can install the HID ballast into the metal impact absorber behind the bumper. Perfect place so they don't melt any plastic. I suppose you rarely use fogs anyway so should be fine either way.
Black grills on black is a requirement

I think I'll keep the fogs stock for now. The other HID kit in the headlights....I guess that could be done equally well whether the lights are on or off the car. Which HID kit do you have on yours as I see there is a huge choice out there. I mean there are £30 ones on the bay and others cost 3 or even 4 times as much. So far I just know, I'd want 6000K, 35w and H7. Thing is, I see some HIDs on various cars WITH projectors and they somehow appear very aftermarket (which I know they are)....not in terms of the colour, its probably the brightness and the general appearance I would say. I just want it to look as OEM as possible, though I appreciate OEM is probably 4300K !

where did you buy the bumper from and have this done and how much was it. Broken down, bumper, painting and installation.
Hey Bruce ! You know them...its MStyle in Romford. Normally they do this bumper for £300 but on ebay they are doing it for £199 + shipping. They call it the 'M Look' bumper. Don't know how much to only paint as I paid £225 for paint and fit. I believe painting only is around £120 to £150 elsewhere. I just got them to do the whole job. You are welcome to drop by if you decide you want a look in person before having it.
