Something I've been working on ;)

For the last week or so my car had been in the body shop to get some long deserved work done. Here's a little teaser.


See anything different?


Cracked rear bumber cover got fix

I got the car home last night and it rained. My heater control valve had been bad for the last month, so no heat. Today I got to replace the heater control valve, washed the car get it ready for some pics. On the way home, it rained again. So no pics until the weekend.

Thanks to the board I was able to fix my valve heater control without getting rape from the dealer. Also big thanks to Steve of Fab-Tech for hooking me up with the E63 conversion and his paint guy. The wife is loving the new look and my three year old son has been talking non stop about the new look.

I guess I have to keep this car for a while longer now.

Look closely, it's not like your (there's no emblem hole on the hood)

Here are the pictures I promised.













Sorry for the pics quality, as I took them with a "potato" (that's what my friend call my phone).

In case anyone wondering what's the wheels color is, it's matched to my son lego wheel. Some may call it battleship gray but I did bring a lego wheel to match.

Nice....Off topic, but what size are your rims ? (I am guessing they are 18s, but are they 18x8.5 and 18x10s ? They look nice.)
