My Ride: Late 2005 M5 in Silverstone Metallic II with Full Black Leather Interior. SMG, LOGIC7, Heated Front Seats, Rear Electric Sun Blind, Comms Package, Professional Nav, TV Function, Extended Voice Control, Adaptive Headlights

Right then guys! I have decided to start modding the M5. I know I know, it's about time blah blah blah! ![Laughing](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/laughing.gif)
I have compiled a list of what I'm going to be doing. Just want to see what you guys think of my choices...
Exterior:
LCI Rear lights
Autotecknic carbon mirror covers (the OEM black bit)
Autotecknic carbon kidney grills
Autotecknic carbon wing grills
Brighter Angel Eyes (not sure which ones yet so advice would be helpful)
Rear number plate LED's (as above, not sure which so advice please!)
MAYBE the Vorsteiner FULL carbon fibre decklid spoiler**MAYBE**
Engine and Performance:
RPi Ram Air Induction Kit
RPi ST Pulley Kit
CA Automotive ECU Remap and Delimit
Meisterschaft GT Exhaust
Wheels:
20" DPE SP-C5's Matte Black face with polished lip
What are everyone's thoughts? I will hopefully start doing this in the summer, and will all be completed by Septemeber. That's the plan!
Can't wait to start getting everything done!

I had the regular license plate LEDs for a while and switched to R-Dash, which I think looks brighter.

Thanks a lot man. I will be sure to buy through him then! I've heard from a few people since posting this thread earlier that he is the ONLY person to go to for lighting needs!
Thanks again all! Will keep you updated on progress as and when it happens in the next couple of months... Fingers crossed!
