Is your touring black or diamond black?

smoked rear lights look like this on them....

Image


But I have put them back to standard now and prefer them I think!

Image


iS lip spoilers seem to go for silly money but a nice discreet mod I reckon

Image


I assume your touring has SE skirts on it as standard?


oh and I reccomend changing the plugs to NGK's you never know what funky plugs are in cars these days :D

that purple tourer with the WRD mesh 8.5 and 9.5x16 rims certainly appeals to me 8)

17" alpinas with a (estimated) 60/40 drop and standard bodywork (i like it that way on a white tourer, can look funny otherwise)
Image

looking better with anthracite / polished 16" alpinas:

That's write gcorky, heated seats and the first is the sunroof.
small one above left window switch is rear window isolater (for door switchs only..i.e kids!) that's also correct.
And above the right windows switches is the power switch to isolate all 4 switches.
The swithc above for the sunroof is still ob his position but doesn't work.

take care dennesshi

if you're dong that, i's suggest trying something other than your 17" BK's as i found the change to lighter 16's gave me a LOAD more grip and 'feel'. i assume you don't have an excessive grip problem... :D

i reckon with my dark wheels it looks right. in my opinion, a white m-tech 2 touring looks odd but the black trims break it up a bit.

it's a shame that i only have 3.5 16" alpinas at the moment :cry:
