My first BMW and a few mods

Hey guys,

I have been lurking around here for a little while now and I appreciate the information available that helped me with my first few mods!

I thought I would share some pics of my car and mods:

The car is a 2009 330D E92 Msport Highline.

When I went to pick the car up here is how it looked:




Firstly I gave it a good clean, clay, sealant etc:


I then added LED angel eyes (sorry for the poor quality)


Then came the lip spoiler from BC MOTO:


Finally my favourite mod so far... the performance diffuser:





I have a few more mods in the pipeline but what next and where do I stop?

Thanks for looking and I appreciate all comments!

Car looks great, very clean.

Black grills? They always seem to look awesome against the blue.

Looks great, started off identical to mine, albeit mines a 325d. I want to do the lip spoiler and the angel eyes too, which ones did you go for? Ad do you find the colour match of the spoiler to be a good match to the Le Mans on the car?

Thanks

Thanks MPD, yea I am tempted to buy some other grills and have them carbon fibre wrapped, if I don't like I will be able to put my OEM ones back on

I went for some £15 angel eyes off eBay (Mtec super white) but wish I had gone with others recommendations, there is a seller on here somewhere.

My lip spoiler came from BC moto from Taiwan off eBay for £40, I was very surprised by the quality and paint finish... I have been to a BMW dealer to look at some cars with the genuine thing and I can't tell the difference

Hope that helps!

What don't you like about the cheap ones? Don't know if I want to spear £100+ on something like lux, I'm just looking for something that looks decent, as close to the colour of the lci lights but obviously not with the same brightness.

Also I think I'll order a spoiler, I've heard good things. Yours looks good

Looks lovely, thinking about the performance diffuser for mine, not sure if I want it black or colour coded though.

Do you have a link for the angel eyes?

Cheers

The colour match is just ever so slightly off... Doesn't bother me too much just wondering if the £65 is worth it, grr decisions!

Thanks and the diffuser came from BMW, the retail is £263 primed but not painted, I got a discount... I'm sure your local stealer will knock some money off!

Been looking at your build thread if I'm honest P5UML, your car is very nice! Would like to make mine my own though! I would like to do the alpine upgrade and really want to meet some forum members from the south east to get some mod ideas although cant make the meet at ace, why does it have to be a Monday!!

Of course mate! Everyone needs their own stamp on the car which is good cos its good to see what individuals can come up with with what's available

The alpine upgrade is well worth the money in my opinion! I love it! I have a temporary 10w7 in at the moment and it copes so well with it! Recommend it highly bud.
