Welcome to the forum and gongrats on your car
Thats a big project you started there.
LCI basically replaces the word ''facelift''.Dont remember what each acronym stands for exactly right now
Once again welcome and good luck

AFAIK "Life Cycle Impulse" is what the called it.

Broadmoor- you are going to be running 20" rims in the winter -- what width??

I thought my 19" 245s where pushing it, but clearly not

Looks wonderful mate. Did you have any fitment issues with the Mtech front bumper and the M5 fenders? Or did you get the grills cut in? Reps look great. I paid a good penny for my 166's but yours look just as good. I did't see the rear trunk spoiler.

Thinking of getting my e39 done up with Shadowline trim.

Hip Hip Hooray!!
