Thanks for the comments.

The car has been very well looked after.

Following on from when I first viewed the car, the pervious owner sadly passed away. His wife kindly gave me first refusal on it.

I'm considering the following changes;

- privacy glass (rear of b pillar )
- Cree led Angel eye and headlights upgrade
- 6 cylinder e90 chrome slat kidney grills

Looks lovely. I've just done an LED upgrade on a second set of headlights for our E91- Cree LED angel eyes and dipped beam bulbs, absolutely stunning, a major increase in lumens (over halogen) and none of this cheap hid kit blinding other drivers business. It just looks oem. I'd say go for it. And put some miles on the thing too, I'm sure you'll have fun.

Thanks

Where did you get your set from? I've been looking at Horizon for mine but would appreciate a second opinion.

No, Black cars are recent additions to the stable :D , with Alpinas Blue has been the prominent colour.

Quick update;

Privacy glass fitted
New registration plates fitted
Image

LED light upgrade fitted. Went for the full kit i.e. Angel eyes, dipped and main beam.

Ive also had the car re-coded so as I now have DRLs (courtesy of B & M Centre , Glasgow)

Still to decide whether to fit the 6 cylinder silver slat kidney grills

Regards
Pete

Fitted some new wheel emblems today.

Took the opportunity to jack the car up, remove the 4 wheels and give them a good clean using my trusty Halfords wheel brush and some Purple Rain cleaner.
