Default E39 540i - New trims added and a few(lot) of snaps

Well, the sun was shining, the car hadn't moved for a week so I thought best to give it a little run out and ended up down a little industrial park with my mate KC (oooeer). A few snaps later and a couple of shots with KC driving so I could get couple of less "static" shots and here we are
Before the black trim was added (side mouldings, foglight surrounds and front grill) the car looked like this:




And the following is what she looks like today - a vast improvement IMHO










Note the brake ducts here aswell - If anyone can guess how much these cost me to do then I will buy you a pint








I personally love this photo, the depth of field is so deep it's amazing













Nice deep reflection from the paint in this shot too












A bit of cornering carying a touch of speed for more effect 8)



















There - so out of some 800 pictures from a quick 1 hour session, these are my faves

Some really good pics, especially the mirror one - very well done indeed.

As for the cost of the brake ducting, im guessing not too much if you can still afford to buy a pint after it

Looks much better with black on.

Are the brake ducts a couple of ports for sub boxes??
Or Pringles tins with the bottom cut off

Big Ern got it in one - bass ports £5.40 in total they cost me The rest of the ducting was behind the grill already so saved further expense
