Mods since latest downtime anyone?

Anyone performed any mods to their E's during the downtime?

I've installed the fender blinkers and have a set of monoblock replicas in my living room. 18x8 ofcourse :-)

My Carlsson front bumper was finally mounted but that was right before we went down. The next thing will be spring pads in the rear springs and camber adjustment arms that should be here by Friday for the rear as well. Will post pics. as soon as it's done...

If you have any mods since September you may want to post them... because if you already have, they're gone.

4 wheeled car.
some *** said this to me on AIM "that **** looks so wrong"

I think it looks good personally.

you should paint the lower body the same color as the rest of the car, it would be nicer!

Post pics. when you do. The E55 kit should look nice.

Have you considered doing the MY00+ E55 rear and sides and then putting either a Carlsson, a 96-99 E55 or maybe an Auto Coutour (I think that's how it's spelled) bumper on the front? That would be tight, IMO of course...

I've thought about that combo ever since the beginning. I like the way the '99 kit brings out the wheels alot more with the sideskirts. In addition I'm assuming that finding a '99 kit would be easier than locating another Carlsson front clip.... I won't be doing those mods soon, so I'm not rushing. But I do like how the '99 kit flows. I also like having more chrome on the tops of the bumpers as well. I love chrome and hate how they took many of the chrome accents on the MY00+ E's.... I will be posting pix once I get the wheels on. I opted for a decent pair of all season's to install. Ordered them today online from TireRack so hopefully by end of next week I should have more pix....

Hey Chris, those blings look OEM! Well done man - must have been hell carving out that hole.....But you need to match or paint the side bumper light.

P.S. I've had 300+ posts wiped out too....

It was actually a lot easier than I thought, and only required some masking tape, Dremel and some cutting discs. At night the front lights emit a sweet amber hue and the blinker complement it when blinking. Maybe I'll replace them late ron, but I like them all there for now

Nuh, I kinda like the "clean" look. May be when i get bored of it later. Let me know if you need me to get some cheap ones for ya - I will be going to Taiwan at the end of the month, may be cheaper there.

Hey guys, I'm not sure if we had rain lately, the car is never all spotted up anymore along the sides and bottoms due to the flaps, LOL. The car is running great.
