Thanks Ash...

Haven't fitted the splitters yet. Need to get them sprayed first. Even though my panel beater is my neighbor, i have had no time this month to get the parts to him. You know we fasting this month, so by the time i get home its time to break fast. Then im so full, i cant really move. Shortly after that i got to got to mosque and get back after 9pm. I will make time this weekend though, Sunday, i will strip the few parts and get the splitters cleaned for him to spray.

So i had a sheet of Red LaminX... Decided to take the "smoke" look off the rears and try Red over the Indicator and Reverse lights as the rest of the lights are already red...

Before: (Smoked LaminX)

Wow Arbee car is coming along really nicely. I've followed your thread from the time the car was almost stock and every mod you have done be it cosmetic or performance is excellent. You have great taste! Look forward to pics with the splitters.

The indicators look kind of orange when flashing, but not and eyesore!

The reverse lights up clear with a tinge of red, which looks nice IMHO.

Thanks for the responses guys, i appreciate...

Ok, Im going to brag a bit...

Not sure if i mentioned this, but at the beginning of the year i bought a E46 Individual 330d. The car stays in dbn, as i travel between JHB and DBN a lot and always need a car in DBN. With that said, a few months ago someone made me an offer on that car and paid a deposit, he is now paying the balance off monthly, he will only get the car once its paid in full. So, its still mine but its parked off and seldom gets driven. So this is my 2nd E46 Indi, its even in an individual colour, for the life of me, i cannot remember the exact name, but its brass something, i think. (I wont post a pic for personal reasons)

2 weeks ago, i was browsing gumtree and spotted a gem at a decent price, the next morning, i found myself on a flight to PE to see the car, got to the airport and met the previous owner who took me to his house to see the car, bought it on the spot.

I am now the proud owner of yet another E46 Indi, it Scarab Green with black leather. Its a Steptronic, 325i with well, just hit 110 000km. Its in immaculate condition. For the price i paid, its a real bargain also.

I drove it from PE to DBN and flew back to GP the same day. Didnt get much time to take pics so this is the only one for now. All it needs is new brakes and desperately needs a decat...
