Help Me Plan My Mods
#1
My wife had a little fender bender in the 525 a couple weeks ago. Body shop spec'ed out the following:
Here's my current plan:
Another option would be to go with just the M-Tech front bumper, and use the remaining funds for wheels. Does the 5 look silly with just the M-Tech front?
What do you guys think?
- New hood
- New headlight
- New Grilles
- Refinish front bumper
Here's my current plan:
- VIS OEM CF Hood
- M-Tech Body Kit, painted
- Matte Black Grilles
- CF Pillars
- CF Mirror Covers
- CF Roof Spoiler
- CF Roundels (hood, trunk, steering wheel, wheels)
Another option would be to go with just the M-Tech front bumper, and use the remaining funds for wheels. Does the 5 look silly with just the M-Tech front?
What do you guys think?

Should definatley be possible with that money, I figure the hood will run about $1000 and the m-tech bumper could be installed/painted/shipped for $700 total, thats how much it costed for me. It looks fine with jus the front bumper.

It's always great when you can turn an accident into a reason to mod. I would consider the vorsteiner hood if you are going to do that upgrade though.
-1 with the CF pillars. IMO
