What's wrong with your front bumper? Last time I saw it, it looks good.

Splurge for the wheels first man. One of the most dramatic changes next to a body kit.

Nope doesn't end. LOL it just pauses for lack of funds

Good point! I guess I'll have to add exhaust to the list too. Most likely would do RPi though.

About rims: I am not a huge fan of replicas altogether. And putting on replica wheels on a car with ALL authentic and OEM mods would be like throwing a pair of old Nikes on while wearing an Armani suit. It may look funky and fresh, but ultimately, would be a fail. Besides, none of their styles truly works with my Alpina kit anyway

Yep, last time I saw Mel's bumper it was perfectly fine - what happened? What'd you bump, Mel?

Yesss! I will. Well, you do not carry Bilstein, do you?

Yep, that's the plan - wheels, then shocks and then... and then I'll probably be broke LOL and then some other crap will come up and then the car will break down with something like a clutch, or some sh!t... basically, as Mel very correctly noted, IT NEVER ENDS!!! AAAAAAA

But aside from sleep, sex and eating, this is the best thing I could possibly imagine myself doing.
And quite often, I postpone/forgo at least two out of those three in the name of Cardom

The stealer put a scratch on the front of it a while back from those parking thingys. It was probably there when you seen me, but since then there have been rock chips, another scratch, I would respray it, but Joe refuses. If it was his boat now on the other hand it would have been done already..lol..I also had to replace the drivers side skirt cause the valet drove my car off a curb and basically ripped the skirt into 2! grrr.. Its all done now though, me and Joe even changed the coil since the cylinder was misfiring, so she seems all good now.

PM me your price on B8's for the Xi, please.

I know they aren't yet available in the States, but the MSRP was set already a month ago, maybe more. Its coming soon, so your Bilstein rep should have some knowledge. I'm in no hurry to do this, but I need new suspension no matter what.
