lol yeah the black paint looks wicked clean.  I cant go to mad on the bonnet and wings as there being painted in a few weeks so it would be a waste but the rest came out good.  IT just takes a bit of time and the right tools and polish.

I forgot to add i'm fitting the xenon angel eyes they came through today so i'll get some pics up tomorrow.  its a h8 xenon kit but you need a relay so it doesnt throw up an error gives out a much whiter light then the h8 led angel eye upgrade.  I also replaced the stock BMW ds1 xenon bulbs with 6000k jobbies...

My problem other than being extremely lazy, is, I live in the country side with narrow roads often covered in mud in a poor state of repair.  I also use the car daily so when I have made the effort in the pass (not to your standard) I get so disheartened when after only a short time the car looks a bad as ever. How I wish I could not only get the car to your standard but keep it there.

Congrats again on a superb job.

Nice. 
Is the rear badge just a stick over type or a complete replacement for original (including the slanted holder?)Also wondering if you are going to get the 50i exhaust tips?

lol you can buy the starter kit I listed that in my post and its not to expensive.

I'm going for a custom exhaust system the chap has done all my BMW's.  The BMW tips i think are about £427 if I add a bit more on I can get a custom job done.  Although I love the 5.0 trims I'm not prepared to pay over 400 quid for them!
