Some of you seem to be going overboard with mods, have you never heard the saying less is more.

You'll be pleased to know, I have stopped .... for now. :lipsrsealed:
Money in kitty for stone chips and prangs in my case. :rolleyes:
Hope you had a good holiday.
I'm off to France and Spain in August, if I can be arsed.

Your car has more bling than Ratners  :laugh:

Glad things are getting sorted with your pranging, need I say more (do stop fiddling) it makes you go blind you know  :kiss:

Had a great holiday back to work now with a vengeance.

You get off to France and Spain and don't be so lazy (if I can be arsed) what's that all about?

I get the nice white LED's on the front of my car as standard, but horrid yellow looking bulbs in my number plate and wing mirrors.... so I'm changing them all to white LED's.
I've done all the interior ones, and hopefully in the next few days my exterior ones will all be done too!
They're not blue - just a more crisp white than the standard yellow colour.

Amorous Amanda,

You are kidding about the bling, I hope. It's only the pedals. You've got just as much on your vehicle and it shows more as it is black and metallic ....  if you don't mind. Cheek. :tongue:
Ratners. Yuck. Too pleb and chav for me darling. Old Bond Street is more my style!

Well, am not sure whether to car, train or plane. Might do a bit of all three. Have got 3 weeks of hols.
Need Paris for my emotional well being, Lyon for my love of food, Spain for everything else. No beaches (hate them as they are full of tat), only cities.

Or,

Hol2
Simply go on the Mozart down the Danube from Germany to the Black sea. Buy cheap fags (cigarettes) in Budapest amongst other things and enjoy the Golden Hall (Musikverein) in Vienna.

Or,

Hol3
Do both Hol1 and Hol2. :lipsrsealed:

Decisions, decisions. :rolleyes:

Soo way of topic, but hey, I have been in mourning for a week and should be forgiven. A HUGE SORRY. Not been myself lately. :cry:
Collecting my wheels tomorrow am.

Aye but imo they are tasteful mods, not sure about doing the red badge but can't wait for the LEDs.  I'm just not into car mats with red edging too much red overload and I think you can have too many LEDs on one car  :wink: just my very humble opinion.

Course I'm only kidding I think Wolfgang is a masterpiece really.

Now holiday number 2 sounds right up my kind of street so if it were me I'd opt for that.

Hop you are happy tomorrow when you collect Wolfgang from the repairers.

I don't think it is close to 'chav lighting' at all. Most new BMWs come with a nice white light over the number plate. My brother's 335d looks great with it.

Whatever floats your boat dude. I wouldnt do it.
