The headlights are inspired by E38 Xenons. This is standard fit

Stuck one in, holesaw has been shipped need to wait for that before I can stick the other in.

Looks good IMO

Trial fit:



Then got some of this:


Routed wires in place of where there was a clip, nice and neat.


All stuck in. Please ignore the other one being taped in, its so it doesnt get in the way. Also the wires are wrapped around the inside thats why you can see the reflections which obv wont be there when headlight is finished.

Right more goodies. Im off next week from work and Mrs J is away, so i shall be dedicating my time to doing the car. Im excited to get it done asap.

Couldnt resist the offer of 30% off and my rear shocks sound like they are on the way out and they where crap motor factors ones anyway. So spunked some more cash at ECP:




Cant wait for them to be fitted as my fronts are really worn.

Also been getting the famous E36 spinning lock barrel, and even more annoyingly it rattles in the barrell. So going down the road sounds like i have 50 keyrings on the key when in fact its just moving in the barrel! Sooo annoying. So got BMW to make me a new one:



Also my car only came with the one key, its old and shit. So purchased one from Sytners in Maidenhead difference is here:


Then after 9months of searching, i finally found someone selling the rear of their inteior, in back in what looked like OK condition. I took a chance and BOY am i glad i did. £100 well spent.

Hees the current sad state of affairs (Fuck knows how they get this fucked tbh!




.... these are my new pretty ones



Chuffed

All need now for next week is possibly a glue gun and i need to borrow my master techs massive uber skills and drill and we should have all this shit fitted!
