Thanks for the info!
I had installed my headlights last week and after some hours of driving in town i just felt a "BOOM!" in my rear... It was an Audi Q7 attached to my car (On my car computer was a message like "Alert! New hardware found!" , joking). Now i have to replace my Tail lights, trunk, rear bumper... Anyway i want to buy some doorhandles from avantgarde (the one in the same color of the car) do you have any idea where i can get them off?

you should go with a brabus, or carlsson rear bumper that would make your car look awesome!
btw i was reading this forum, did you end up going with the black headlights, or the chrome?

With Xenon

I don't know if the other member had OEM (BiX) but that would be better. I know members here complain about light output and say nothing beats the OEM BiX (Projectors)

Here are my headlights. and my car with winter tyres and rims ))
You should take these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FREE-...Q5fAccessories
i wanted those but i got this instead even if in the picture was like in the link. (it's a small difference but i like more that in the picture than the one i have on my car)
PS: with a facelifted bumper and the grill of the bumper black, it will look very cool. I will show you photos in June when my car will be finished.

@Gynecologist MD - You can get them pretty easy, and they are not so expensive.

nicely done, however i have a question about radio, do you still have steerwheel function and info in your KI? and maybe an idea: changing interior trim to something sportier like alu dash trim or wrap it in carbon or brushed alu...

Well, it's a long history with the steering wheel functions and info in KI.
I ordered the Alpine IVA-W505 from USA, and the steering wheel functions adapter from Romania. The problem is that the Alpine IVA-W505 from USA is different from the Europe version and the adapter was for Europe so it didn't work but I heard that are some adapters that i can order from USA for my... USA Alpine
Anyway, i am now used to use the volume functions on the HU so i think it's ok, it's no big loss
And about your idea, i was thinking about that too, i am a huge fan of the Piano Black trims. What do you think?

piano black, ( cinamora designo wood) i think it will be very nice, but also very expansive, i looked sometime ago for it and (sit down please...) cost aproximatly 1400 euro. Thats why i will wrap it, cheaper and also nice because i don't like the avantgarde alu trim...

Some old pictures.
I recently changed my exhaust system with a SEBRING. It sound nice.. for a CDI.
Next:
- AMG Pack
- Repainting (same color)
