not bad. I know how difficult taking pics of LED interior lights are, so these pics probably don't accurately represent them...
what did you use? I used the LED panels for mine.
also, if you'd like me to merge this thread with your other "evolution" thread so that you'd have your one thread showing your car's progression, I'd be pleased do to so![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

I have the Pure White LED bulbs from HID Concept (14.99 for a pair), that do not give an error message on the OBC. This is what is looks like. picture below

2006 C230, 2006 BMW M3, bye bye C55:(
Ooooh, car washes are a big no no!
Fastest way to ruin the finish and get the "spider web" look on your car.
What type of bike? Mountain or road?

i use car washes all the time. I'm kinda confused about what do you mean that spider web look? I always waxed my car after each waste with a NANOWAX

He means you'll get swirls in your paint. Even touchless car wash use harsh acid that unless is completely rinsed off, will cause premature clear coat failure. Wax isn't going to do anything to hide scratches and swirls. Car washes like that will be good enough for 90% of the population out there, but for those 10% that care about the condition of the clear coat, they stay away from automatic car washes and dealer washes.
