Hi fellow members.

I changed the side grilles from matte black to semi carbon fiber ones on Saturday after a wash. Also put new 10W CREE LEDs for the angel eyes to replace the former 3W LEDs. They are brighter, but not as bright as in LCI E60s (not to mention the headlights of you crazy modders on the forums ). I also put a layer of Aquartz ReLoad on the paint and it seems that I wiped it off little carelessly, as you can see some haziness around the sun in couple of pics.

It was a beautiful day today so took few other pics as well.

Thanks!

Now, after few days, I've noticed the new angel eye leds are actually a lot brighter than the previous 3W leds I had.

As usual Antti, your car looks even more spectacular and beautiful each time Eric gets a hold of it

Nice. But those calipers need a paint job man.
