Small update
Got myself some new bulbs for the front end, really didnt like the orange of the indicators sticking out as much as it did so got some "chrome" type ones along with some new 6k sidelights and full beams to remove the yellow tinge from the lights and to match the xenons
My new bulbs (not cheap ebay ones )
New Vs old Indicators
And fitted ( you can see the sidelight Reflection there so you can see the colour of them)
Before
After
Going to get some new plates for it this week sometime as these ones are old a horrible and have some horrible surrounds on them

My headlight bulbs are xenon buddy. They are main beam bulbs. I got them from my friend mikey that owns http://www.newministuff.com/new/index.php
Can't remember how much the bulbs are to be honest they weren't much I think
But they do make a hell of a difference. They all do make aload of difference.

Another little update
just something that's annoyed me from day one are the plates that were on it, they were old and bubbly and had the gash GB thing on the side... also had some cheap looking plate holders
so out with the old
In with the new
Also replaced the old wipers with some nice new aero style wipers
and replaced the numberplate lights with some nice clean LED ones (again not cheap ebay jobbies, these ones had cooling fins... not sure if the ebay ones do?)

All the subtle bits make all the difference
The front bumper been resprayed at some point? Pretty sure even the aero kits have a plate holder usually!

It does doesn't it. Especially with my back one having all that BMW shite around the outside of it. Just annoying that they screwed the front holder into the bumper. Got screw marks in there now. Would of ran it plate less otherwise

Think it would look odd with a thin one upfront and a normal sized one on the rear??
