Totally agree with you, you couldn't be more right, it's an individual taste thing... I should have said that, and I don't think they are over top either... I just don't get it... that's all, but I feel like I'm the only one...

They're just to make the car look more mean, and more individual.

Due to my brows and painted front bumper I get far more waves from people I know as it's obvious it's my car - I didn't get this when it was standard and I happen to like being waved at Image

The local Police are also leaving me alone (after having stopped me on average once every two weeks until a coupla months ago), which I presume is because the car's distinctive.

Just gotta avoid making enemies! :mad:

I do wonder why I wrote all that to justify having the brows.

I should've just said "it's my car, I can do what I want with it" :?

Just noticed this thread was started by one of the purest of the purists, with a proper old skool cab on bottletops :cool:

No wonder you don't like eyebrows! Image

Only reason I'm not too keen on eyebrows on BMWs is that the kidney grill gets in the way, so it looks a bit odd IMO

Had one on my MK2 golf which I did the single headlamp conversion on and then eyebrow across the top, looked very nice.

they work on certain cars, for example if you have the kit, mags, boot spoiler etc, then eyebrows complete the look. but if your car is standard like my car, its a bit wierd.
Saying that, i think nobody must put on the Bad Boy bonnet, thats just plain, as you guys would say "chav"

Thats interesting, Ive been looking at some eyelids, but was holding off since the front of my car needs to be resprayed, and I wanted to get them colourmatched, but flat black like the grill could be nice.

Do you have any pics of the flat black eyelids?

Eyebrows are bad enough mate, you don't want eyelids.... you'll never see where you're going! :roll:

Not meaning everyone who has eyebrows is a chav, but chavs do tend to stick as much multicoloured plastic on their cars as poss....so would assume they have eyebrows.

Again its each to their own

Hey Richy, i seen your tourer before but missed u at that last cruise when u were spinnin it up bad boy stylee,

Do u go every week? I aint been for a while, but if a few E30 boys are up for meetin up there and showing those pram handled cun*s with plastic spinners what real cars look like! Lets sort it out

As for the thread! = Eyebrows are 'OK' but more of a poitless add on tbh
But if u do have em dont colour code em! Chome is 80's shite
