here we go

look at the nasty council indicators on my bros e36! what was he thinking! only just noticed em

Tue Mar 13, 2007 2:34 am

lookin lovely oakey but yip i agree need to loose the spoiler and alpina badge

Fri Mar 23, 2007 2:48 pm

i have blacked out the indicators and fogs since last pics:

my bare alloy polished wheels are still nice and shiny with no pitting.- i was a bit worried after reading a couple of threads on here but theyre still good after a few months

and the alpina badge is now gone- i think it looks loads better badgeless

do people like my new little touches?

Fri Mar 23, 2007 3:16 pm

Looks much better without the badge

What did you use to Black the fogs?
Im tempted to do mine using the Xhair method as the headlights?

Oh yeah,grab yourself a philips screwdriver and go swap your side repeaters round so there the right way,first thing i noticed

i just used that "tint spray" stuff from halfrauds.
they look completely black in person. - the flash on the camera has made them look a bit orangey but they do look really good.- passed mot like this aswell. i thought the spray would look pants but im actually very surprised with how they turned out. very even and smooth.
i'm gonna black out the indicators aswell today with the same stuff.- then i'll switch them over for ya eko

if i feel like getting carried away i might do my rear lights aswell

Red rears for mine this weekend too

So you going to do the headlights?

Fri Mar 23, 2007 3:41 pm

oh yeh... ive straightend out the o/s fog light as the bracket was well bent and got the weights removed from the lip of wheels.
the bootlid is gonna stay for a while i think- all my money is going into the engine for the next few months

so i'm gonna leave the boot lid and get a full respray with some new panels-sills, susp turrets etc in september.
by the end of the year this car will be a stunner! mark my words. lol

im not sure about the headlights- I really like the headlights on e30s and i think they stand out nicely at the moment. i probably will get bored one day and do it anyway.
