Funnily enough, yes; but only Gucci knee length.

The profile has been updated in anticipation of fitting Westside m8.  I am just waiting for the call from MStyle in Romford.  Likely will be down there next week.  How's your car going?

You lot are getting far too lathered up thinking of me in ladies' boots!  Go take a collective cold shower (though not together in a motorway services truck stop either please  :)) )

Sadly I have to wait until 27th now for fitting of side skirts, diffuser and I-drive cover; but will be worth it I'm sure. 

In meantime I have experimented with a little subtle stickerage..........

Snipez, your at it again, posting pics showing off all your downforce!  I see you've got the Blackvue fitted front and back. Is this the one you posted pics off or a new one?  I'm liking the camera I got from you but will be looking to upgrade in the new year and interested in a front back setup with battery back up for coverage while the car is parked.

Again my tag was updated in anticipation! 
I have the DR 400G HDII in the front under the rearview mirror, and am just awaiting the arrival of the 2nd unit to go in the rear somewhere - either upper edge in the centre, or more likely over to the N/S where there is a larger gap between window elements and it is behind the headrest when looking in the rearview (that way I catch any tw@tty cyclists as well  ;)).
Wifey's X5 will have the earlier model (DR 400G HDI ) for its Xmas present.
The Blackvue battery backup device for BMWs has only just come out, and I have been trying to get some from Singapore - but the 3 stockists I have approached have failed to reply to emails despite having English websites!
I believe the UK main stockist may have some in by the Spring.  It will be v easy to fit inline. 
I'm just sitting here eagerly awaiting the arrival of my CF wrap for the front skidplate so no doubt more pics follow  :camera:

Found a good local Indy who neatly took feed from front cig lighter through a Maplin lighter extension under dash up sides and round mirror so should not upset warranty nazis. Have another of those piggybacks for rear one as fuse box accessible there. Ps the pics are right way up if viewed on a PC?!
