Ahh, ok, Schmiedmann. That's where I just bought all my mods, but obviously here in Denmark. They are more expensive than the German companies, but that's simply "supply and demand".

any more pics?

strange,but if I would buy myself M5 mirrors Schmiedmann would be much cheaper then the BMW-Stealer..

Finally, my M-Tech kit is ready and painted. Hoping to get it installed next Friday, it depends on the weather as I don't have a garage big enough, in which to do the job.

BTW. It was worth the wait. The paint job costs me 60? + the cost of approximately 1l. of paint and lacquer. Not that bad I.M.O. for a professional paint jos

Great news and hope the weather is nice and dry for your install work

I agree, thats a great price for the painting. I paid a lot more to have my mod parts done.

Help needed.. I know i've seen some good DIY write ups about the M-Tech kit installation. Now I just can't find them. Maybe my search is out of order.. So If someone remembers or finds the links to those posts, feel welcome to post them here. Thanks!

Today was a good day, well not that good as I expected, but anyways.. We got the front bumper installed and then came the rain.. It was a bit chilly even without the rain about +7.5 celsius. I'm still happy even we didn't finish the whole installation, as I have understood it, the front bumper is the hardest one to install..
