Hello from Hull

Post by Manfromatlantis » Fri Feb 15, 2013 9:00 pm

Hi ... I would just like to introduce myself to the forum .....

I'm a big fan of BMW and spend far too much money on them, never kept one for more than 2 years as I'm constantly tinkering with them until they look the nuts, then I fancy a change! Last year I ad a white 1M and a white X5 30d so that turned out to be a very expensive year; the 1M has gone much to my disappointment, but I still have the X5 for around another week or two, as I have ordered a fully loaded X6M 50d, in black sapphire. So really looking forward to that, and ave a tinker to make it look a little more sporty ! Ill post a few picks of my X5 as somebody may want to buy it before I trade it in ??? 60 plate 28 k , in white .....

Ok cheers .... I hope to be getting a few pointers, and doing a little pointing very soon ....  :D

Having gone through ACS and Hamann kit in the previous X6 I decided to go for the more subtle lines of the BMW Performance body kit this time. Having the rear window slats and lip spoiler colour coded was a good move too. Ill pop some pics up via a link on a bit. Some car porn for you lolol

Do you have another picture of the window slats?

I haven't seen them before.
