Cleaned up the front end

[rstoughy]

Decided that id go for a set of aftermarket indicators to modernise the front end a little.

I notice you're running Xenon lights without headlight washers :smt017 which is a bit unusual .
Are these after market ones ? or O.E.M. added to a non XENON car ?

[Dan]

Never been sure of the Depo's personally, I think your's looks good as you've got the dark kidney grills, very nice Paul :thumbs:

I like it, did the same thing to mine a while back and agree that it sharpens up the front end. :thumbs:

Matt they are OEM added to a non Xenon car by 1st owner.
Good spot ;)

Cheers Dan, i was the same until a guy at work stuck a set in his silver M3. Stood back and thought they looked quite smart so took a chance.
Think they blend in with the headlights quite well.

Thanks Paul... I wonder how easy it was to do (and how expensive ? ) as I'm toying with this "Upgradation" ;) :hahaha: on mine.

Matt just buy some like I bought, cost approx £300 for the full kit. Not OE but noone could tell.
V easy to fit, I didnt even remove front bumper, fitted on my path in less than an hour.

What was the quality of these non O.E. ones ? where they 'E' marked and where did U get yours from ? I remember yours had Halo rings in them but I bet they weren't Bi Xenon ;) :whistle:

I tried both the Black Grills and the Depo's on my SG and sorry Paul, I didn't like them.

I think the Depo's were clear yokes and you could see the bulbs obviously, which I didn't like. I also thought the Black Grills 'flattened' the front end a bit and returned to the Chrome ones soon afterwards. Don't know how the CF ones would look though.... :whistle:

I liked the Depo's on Blubros though, seeing them in 'real life', I must have just got the wrong ones. I remove my hat to you sir, even if it is very M3cutters... :hahaha:

Sorry, couldn't resists and god almighty, I'm going to feel it aren't I? :bigcry:

What on earth are 'Depo's' and 'yokes' Baz? :smt102

I do know what a 'grill' is of course...

Jeeeeeeesus Alex! :whistle: Do you know what you are looking at now!? :blalalala: :bigcry: :hahaha:

Depo are the company that make them as far as I know chaps! ;)

So these are just the bulbs? :whistle:

No the complete indicator unit next to the headlight, they are dark smoked not clear like ours :)

[glendog74]

Dan,

I think Alex is pulling your plonker mate...

:clown:

[rstoughy]

Hahahaha :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha:

Baz I know what you mean about the bulbs, when fitted at 1st I didnt like them too much as you could see the amber bulb through the clear front.
Took the decision to try chrome bulbs so they blend in with the reflector and they seem to have done the trick.

Did swap my black side grills back to silver but dont own front ones so the blick ones will have to do.

Only seen it for 10mins though as i'm offshore at the moment so will stare it out upon my return.

Sorry for some misunderstanding, I was a few pints down when I wrote those posts so, apologies for any misunderstanding.

They talk about 'Depos' flat out over on m3cutters, seems to be most sought after 'modification'.

LOL at yokes. It's an Irish thing, I must be picking up the lingo quicker than I first thought.
