    So haven't posted for a while as my daily has eaten all my money again. Ive managed to get my headlights finished. They are incredible, ended up with quad bi L.E.D's with flat bottom angel eyes the light output is insane! KYCS absolutely delivered.

    Chuffed!

    So next I've managed to get my hands on a full black leather interior with door cards, some m technic door mouldings and i might finally get round to fitting the coilovers.

    Cheers,

    A

    Thanks bud,

    Next year when I do some shows and we meet, I will actually be scared of you having a nose at her! She demo looks better with the Sport front just need to get her lowered now.

    With the headlights that are being modified at the moment, they have a set of clear indicators so we can have test fit and decide. Ive just ordered some clear sport rear lights so we will soon see.

    Cheers,

    Thanks man!

    Ive since been back to the shop and had a look at another option for the headlights, there flat bottom LED rings, we test fitted one and it looked pretty good so I'm going to give it a go. I am going for the OEM look so if they don't suit I can always sell them and use the set that are on now. Il try and get a picture sent over and il post it on here.

    Cheers

    Been a busy boy since the last update. I managed to get my arches rolled by arch attack based in the west mids. Great service at you're own home and reasonably priced.

    I managed to pick up and m sport steering wheel and a set of mint condition headlights for less than fifty quid. I wanted to get my headlights modded so they have bi-xenon and bright angel eyes. I went to KYCS in Oldbury can't wait to get them back. I saw a teaser of what an really old e36 set looked like sorry for the crap photo but it gives you a rough idea. Also got to sit in the owners 640d M Sport its a thing of beauty and the head up display is amazing, wish I had it on my 5.

    Finally i also got some parts back from paint. Spent ages trying to fit the sport front as all the bolts had rusted on. I still don't have any of the grills for the bottom but have the fogs which will go back on soon.

    I love the front now. Just need to get the sport rear fitted and the replacement tailgate. Ive also found a mint boston green touring on ebay that I'm going steal a couple of panels off to finish the outside.

    Ive had a good couple of days with the tourer, managed to finish sourcing all the parts I need for spraying. New tailgate, front and rear m sport bumpers were stripped and have been sent off for paint.







    Also cleaned the daily

    id just install a universal central locking remote kit. they have ones with the bmw diamond key. and the range is way better than the oem bmw one. they are cheap also... around 20-30 quid. they work with your stock central locking.
