Apologies for the crap pics, off my N82 and it was dark.




So this arrived in the post today...



So this is the car before:


(yes i know its filthy but im not a detailing freak and it gets used, hard, everyday)


Then spent 30mins dicking around with annoying clips, broke a couple but still have 2 eyes and this is the result....




My car is a pre facelift M3 (2002) and the prev. owner had fitted the late spec LED rear light clusters which are the only visual differences between the two. However for some reason he didnt get the 3rd level brake light done which should be clear but mine was red. Now all sorted.


Comments/opinions whatever

I see no difference...


Edit: Nicely edited

I think i prefer the red. The white looks like a poor photoshop for some reason.

Plus, your plate is squint. Get it sorted!

Wasn't expecting it to look better if I'm honest, but it does

Nice touch

Screw caps are crap.

Sticky fixers are the way forward. They give a nice clean finish to the car.
