It'll look really good man, and you can pick up some M-tech side skirts to..they pop up in the For Sale section every now and then. Plenty of members only have the MTech front and side...a lot only the front...Don't miss out on the opportunity to upgrade the looks!

My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.
Got the estimate today.
$4800.00
It needs new hood, grill, and bumper. Also, when they lifted the hood there is an aluminum brace that needs replaced, and the grill dented the ?condenser? behind it - which has to be replaced.
Just waiting on the insurance to OK OEM parts.
I am going to just switch out the grills for all black, and all the roundels for the black/white ones.

Time for an update. Insurance only approved $3700. They said they would only pay for an aftermarket condenser upfront. Saved them $600. They also would only pay for used grills. New ones were $100 each.
I ordered a set of matte black grills from Trinity Autosport through Nerweezy and they arrived today. They are awesome and appear to be better than the OEM. I would highly recommend. The transaction was smooth and simple. Also got some black and white roundels for the new look.

I would tell your insurance to lick a sweaty nut sack!!!! How are they gonna tell you to buy used parts for your car after an accident? If thats the case, tell them you only want to pay "used" payments every month... (Use the money at the pub and send them the remains)
