Nice E46 pre-facelift & facelift pic

[v1p3r]

This doesn't happen every day, so I thought I'd take a quick pic

I think the pre-facelift holds up well compared to the facelift.
foglights - prefer pre-facelift
grille - quite like the facelift, wider and flatter
headlights - about the same, no preference really, just wish I had xenons
front fender - pre-facelift, where the line goes all the way to the headlight

pre face lift with clear or smoke indicators looks awesome. Don't like the bright orange indicators...

It's called a face-lift for a reason :roflol:

Also the E46 M3 never received the facelift and still looks good. A few changes in 2004, but the exterior body panels were identical.

I quite like both, though slightly favouring the Facelift.

The front of the pre-face lift looks cluttered, there is just too much stuff up front.

The face life is nice and clean!

Facelift is stunning...very clean finish to it!

Yes clears are one of my planned mods, with LED tails like yours + the flat bootlid spoiler, and a set of 18" BBS LM reps, and getting my angel eyes fixed or a set of the JleviSW ones ChrisBrand has.

Where will the money come from though? :rollsmile:

You need to be more specific when you fish for compliments :rollsmile:

Personally I have to say that with the normal bumpers the pre-f/l still looks better that the f/l.
