Finally got my bumpers painted to get rid of the black on the bottom. I really like the way the brake ducts look painted white. I had the sideskirts sprayed too, but I'm waiting on new clips to put them on, hopefully be here Wednesday. I also got my euro trim put on. I still have some adjusting to do on the front, tell me what you think.

You're lucky, your car already came with skirts, I had to get mine from Peter.

Mine are cirrus blau, i never really looked at that part of an e34 before, it didnt really stand out too much on mine, i guess i prefer it though.

I like that look, but don't you think it would be a good idea to put something like X-pel on it NOW, before it gets sandblasted to crap with road grit? Particularly the rocker panel and bumper skirt on the sides.

looks good mate, you didn't paint it white between the fog lights. the brake ducts look cool. your side skirts are still black. I like it all white actually, it modernises the car, a few dudes have been doing it on here recently.

I don't like the tow hook covers painted, it needs a little contrast down there. I have painted sideskirts, just have to put them on.

Never did like the black lower panels. IMO, it made the car look taller in light colors.

That is one reason I purchased a 95. Got all, or most, of the refinements since introduction.

Nice looking car Brodee. The euro trim really cleans things up. If you have the city lights,where are you getting the power now?

Brodee,

Looks AWESOME! btw stay narrow! :D

Dumb question for ya. When you put on the euro trim, what did you do about the side lights?

I can pull power from the corner light, or the side marker, the wires are still in there.

I'll keep it narrow, I didn't used to like the narrow grille, but I think it looks good on this car. I may change the touring over later though.

I just took out the bulbs andtucked the wires back up in the bumper. I think I"m going to order some trim for my e30 too, it needs new ones and might as well go with the euro. Unfortunately it's more expensive on that car.

I always wondered if that would trigger a check control message. Glad to know it won't. Did you get the trim from BMA?

No check control message from the side markers. I got it on the bimmerforums group buy. $54/all four pieces.
