Cheers mate.

I got it from ebay, but i would not recommend it the adhesive is shit it didn't stick to well. I had to get some more adhesive and touch it up.

You can get them original bmw parts of the zone only a few ££ in it. I would get them of here.

Right update so far done 700 miles since rebuild, did an oil change along with filter. Added new number plates, clear side indicators, strut brace took the head light trim and scuttle panels of rubbed down and painted matt black to give a nice clean look.

Never know i may put them back on, i still do have them. I want to get it back from the body shop to see what i do.

I do like them tho.

Hopefully it goes in on friday.

I would defo put the standard lights back on. The car is retro especially with that colour and it just doesnt tie in with the rest of the car imo.

I do agree with you the car is retro, i was dead against them before i put them on but they have grown on me, like i said i'm going to wait till i get it back from paint.

Thank you for you opinion
