My Ride: 530d M Sport. It has Heads Up Display...need I say more...
Well, before I came down proper ill over the weekend, I managed to take some time to give the new D some subtle modding and pampering.
Nothing too extravagant at the mo, just a couple of small mods to enhance the overall appearance.
Only managed a couple of pics as i had to sort the Golf out too as that has now been sold also (the guy came to pic it up just after I finished the D).
First thing was those silly yellow halos...
Certainly think it looks a lot more menacing from the front now at night.
Also had to get rid of the chrome grilles for some nice colour coded ones.
You might have noticed the CF roundels that have replaced the standard blue/white ones. Have changed the wheel ones too..
Then just a couple of shots of the D in all it's glory. Shows off the tints too.
If I had had more time, I would have tried to find a nice location to give the D a proper background.
More mods on the way...lol

Got them from Paul at MStyle in Romford. Bought the black grilles off them and got them to colour code the surrounds (it's the only way to roll...lol).
Also, any pics of your M5 boot spoiler and where did you get it from?

The M5 spoiler came fitted to the car when I bought it. The Boot finisher, (Seen HERE on BMW#6's car), I got from Paul at MStyle too. Also colour matched there. Think it was a couple of hundred IIRC.
I'm sure you can get the M5 spoiler from him too. Mine is the same as BMW#6's in the pics linked above. The only spoiler not to actually spoil the look of the rear IMHO.
