Thanks guys :smilebounce:

I have some more ideas around the //M stickers and what to do to change them but its just so much work that I haven't had the energy to do it yet

In December 2016 we had a holiday down in Cape Town and one of my good mates were down there at the same time with his white 135i.

We took advantage of the beautiful scenery and great roads to have ourselves a little breakfast run.

Unfortunately my car was filthy on the day and with water restrictions I couldn't wash it.

Here are a few pics of the run:

Good calipers look interesting. Curious to see how the work holds up long term and after many washes.

They have actually been done for over a year now. They still look exactly the same as the day I sprayed them:smilebounce:

I'm still waaaay behind on updates on this thread so let me post up some more minor mods I've done to my baby.:fencelook:

Although I got my hands on a set of LCI tail lights, they weren't the blacklines and were a little too "Red" in my opinion so I decided to try some work with Lamin-x again to see if I can improve them a bit.

In the end I'm quite happy with the result:

Some more shots:

At the same time I got a set of LED angle eye bulbs and installed them too.

Before:

During:

And after:

Not really a fan of how the inner rings are so much brighter than the outer rings:skit:

I kind of got lazy and stopped updating this thread. Once I got to far behind I just never could catch up again.

But anyways I sadly sold this weapon of a car but I thought I might close this thread and post the results of where this project got to.

Enjoy!
