My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
Default

Working nights, I got up about 5pm yesterday, went to the gym, worked some 13 hours and finally this morning I was free to go and pick up my package:

Its been a hard day's night and day-061909_147.jpg

So that took only a few minutes and then I was onto the next thing:

Its been a hard day's night and day-061909_149.jpg
Its been a hard day's night and day-061909_150.jpg
Its been a hard day's night and day-061909_152.jpg

And so on...

Long story short, what I have now - before I pass out with a euphoric look on my face - is a trunk finisher and matte black exhaust tips:

ta-daaaa

RESPECT AND MUCH LOVE TO Keith (westcoast550), Antti (anzafin), PraiseTheLowered and everyone else for your instructions, help, countless PMs and pics and all the inspiration.

Next up: CF steering wheel inserts and some other accent interior trim pieces.

Peace

That looks great. I might just have to get the trunk finisher. The tips look nice.

New parts look good. Please remove that 5 or move it to the right.

I say put them all back or nothing. The single "5" looks odd and out of place.
