BMJOE · 02-06-2012, 05:34 AM

as title reads, plus thinking about spraying bottom grills black, thoughts members?

had fogs changed, to Phillips H8 anyone used the super whites from Japan?

Ninjaoz · 02-06-2012, 05:37 AM

forget about changing the fogs, how often you turn them on?

reckon your car needs lowering..or some sort of front lips to compliment the sporty theme.

only at night, just feel the bottom grills fall out of place a little now. will look into some front lips.

Spray it gloss black, get matching fogs and get an aero lip or m sport front bar

QLD · 02-06-2012, 06:19 AM

Just do what I do.. get a $3 can of Tyre Gloss and spray your mesh for that "Wet, Gloss Black" look....

CRT3 · 02-06-2012, 06:24 AM

What Fogs are you using CRT3, I wanted to get a HID kit but i was told there unroad worthy in VIC

sbce90 · 02-06-2012, 07:04 AM

As others have said, definitely spray the mesh and get an aero lip! Good start though the car looks great.

I'll be heading there tonight, to pick one up!

Rayz, give me a toot or a wave if u see me around.

you wont miss me, idiot in 335i accelerating at a sails pace, waiting for oil to heat up! Just look for the tailgaters!

MFKN3 · 02-07-2012, 01:22 AM

Last DIY on here said they are hard to unclip without removing the bumper and recommended to paint by hand. In the paint section at bunnings, there's a spray paint made especially for plastics and plastic furniture. Just spray it into a pot and paint on with a foam brush after taping up the front bar

Sure will mate - you'll probably see me holding up traffic too, more so coz of the break-in period!

Way too much trouble for my liking and the chance of it looking like crap is high.

$3 can of tyre gloss clear spray ($1.50 on special at Supercheap)... and it will look a million dollars and takes 5 seconds to get that sexy gloss black result.

I did mine this afternoon as well. It looked much better than before. I'll leave it at one coat though. I hate to go through taping it up again.

Yep, I'll take some pics tomorrow. Hopefully after I do my biggest mod.
It paired nicely with the gloss black grilles.
