Hey guys. Just snapped some quick iphone photos the other day when a few mods came in (grill, roof spoiler, emblems, etc). Nothing special, so they serve more as the "before" photos. Heres whats arrived since/in the mail:

Mtech front
ACS style trunk spoilers
Shadowline Trim
Smoked LED sidemarkers
White HL lights




Then it'll be closer to "complete" haha









Comments / Criticism welcome...

I think that Black Grilles look the best on Silver E60's. It is a really nice contrast. The roof spoiler is a little too big for me but as long as you like it that is all that matters!

Yeah, I had a bit of a dilemma with the roof spoiler. The ACS seemed a bit too small/unnoticeable so I tried this Hamman rep. Im going to wait and see how it works when all of the other parts go on the car, and i feel like it might flow better than. Thanks for the comments though

Any more pics of the silver with the black grill. I am debating this vs painting grill edges to match the color of my car.

Looks good. Not feeling the roof spoiler. Maybe it will look better with the other mods like you said. If not you should consider the RDSport roof spoiler.

I only have a few on my iphone, i can get more this weekend though. Heres what I have of the grills...










Like you, I questioned the black grills. But once I get the mtech kit I think it will be much more agressive...


Oh yeah, and as you might have noticed one of my license plate plugs is unpainted. Havent had time to fix it plus the mtech is soon...

Thanks for the comment. Yeah I looked at that, but honestly this one fit my style better for what I want the complete car to look like. I'll see soon enough if it flows well, this was just a test fitting, plus it was dirt cheap so I wont feel bad ditching it...

Hopefully people aren't getting the wrong idea about me though haha. Im no ricer, I usually keep my BMWs pretty traditional but am new to the e60 game (owned multiple e34s in the past)
