Here are a few daytime pics from my blackberry. Sound clips will come soon (can't figure out how to send video from phone to youtube) and "official" photo shoot to come after Vorsteiner is installed. Also, thinking of changing roundels back to original blue and white or black and white. Advice please. Thanks.

Lookin good! :twoup:

I think it looks good with a few things. First, the grill looks better with some contrast. I don't think the all black looks good at all since it makes the grill disappear (3rd pic). Secondly, I think you need some LEDs for turn signals to get rid of that egg yolk effect! Lastly, which depending on your application, maybe you can't do anything about is the tails. I am not feeling it, but maybe you're going with the blacked out look (which wouldn't be dark enough, lol).

Please don't hold back Simon. :lol:

Krav, come out and meet some of the local guys.

You have an additional piece that is attached to the rear bumper exactly between the quad tips -- It is right below the cut out of the bumper - Can you tell me what that is called and where I can get one.

I have the quad setup also but want to get that piece.

Nice car, I like the front grill thats black. I guess will take mine off and spray it myself (lol)

Lol, I tried not to!

Obviously Vic, you do what you think looks good :)

Simon,
Thanks for the advice. At first, I wanted the murdered out look. But as time passed, I still wanted a contrast to make the black pop out more. I will be changing my roundels to black and white. I also found some black and white wheel caps from London. The tails will be taken cared of in time with LCI tails. How do I change the yolk look?

The piece in the rear is called a rear spoiler by Hartge. The one I have is a rep. These, from what I was told, would only fit on OEM M5 rears.

Thanks again Simon.

For the wheel caps, unless you're looking for the actual wheel cap, Trinity has the decals for the black and white. Might be easier to remove if you're not feeling it (plus cheaper as well).

As for the yolk look in the signal area, just change out the stock amber bulbs to LED. I can code the car to not require resistors so you won't get error on iDrive. It'll look better, and brighter as well (as long as you don't pick up crappy LEDs, lol).
