Coming to the end of 2013, I thought id list a few of the mods done over the last year and add it to the thread , more concentrated on power rather than looks this year.
First came the first visit to Acid at MSL, on went the Eurocharged Heat Exchanger to help with the cooling.

As you can see below because of the E63 front end, no bulge and all fits together like oem.
