This wasn't a planned shoot so was lacking a lens so rolled with what I had. Friday night driving home from work I got lucky to get behind a truck that much have driven from the Northeast or the Midwest. It was COVERED in dirty ice and snow. Lucky me as I merge onto the highway we hit a bridge and large amount of snow and ice become dislodged... when I get home the front 1/2 of my car was grey...

Cleaned her up. Popped out broken fogs and snapped a couple photos. Last photo sitting like this. I did a couple mods but the main ones will be coming soon. Going to run my Mille MMII's while I choose a wheel. Get some coilovers and will be jamming!!!

A wash/clay/wax/polish as well ;)

Nice.

You getting some new headlights?

And you are blacking out the grills, right?

Angel eyes or anything like that? Or are they going to be just normal ones?

Ninja Edit: I am not suggesting that I think that you would get angel eyes, you don't seem like the type. I was just saying because of the yellow lights on your other car.

Yellow lights and angel eyes are two different things...

No Angel Eyes!

Haha, I know. They are unconventional lights though. I am not sure about angel eyes though, they can look good in certain cases, especially newer BMWs.

And yellow lights only really work on white and red cars for me.

The reason I was asking is because something is not looking right to me in those pictures. Maybe it is the lights, maybe it is the color, maybe it is the lighting, who knows?

I can help :)

1. There are no fogs but brackets. Looks terrible.
2. There is no M3 Lip.
3. Smoked Amber(Gross).
4. No Bumper Grill.
5. Hood Emblem is dead.
6. Stock US Headlights(Gross)

I think those were the biggest issues for me.

3. You doing clears? And are you changing the rear ones as well?
5. I wasn't sure if it was, couldn't quite tell from the pic. Thought it might just be a bad angle. You should replace that soon, they are like 20 bucks from the stealership.
6. Already discussed.

Smoked.

See rear photo :)

Yeah, those look better. If I was doing it though, I would do the black out rears, but I don't know how that would look on a green car.

Your car's green-ness messes up all of my preconceived ideas about how to cosmetically mod a car.

Green as a car color is nice ;)

...says the man with the green car.

Haha, it is actually pretty nice. Just not very common. Looks damn fine on British cars.

That wasn't a burn Philip. It would have only been a 'burn' if it is something I had done in the past.

I think the garage picture is funny because there is such an obvious height difference.

It is an optical illusion...

The e36 is pretty high but in terms of 'ride height' they are almost the same height.
