Hi sifus, need to ask you a couple of things.
1. Would the xenonmatch light bulbs that was group-buy mooted by darthm3 in Aug, match (colour temp wise) with original 325/330 Xenons? Not that I drive one but asking on behalf of 2 other friends who have a 325 and 330 (Year 200) - non M-Mtech bodykit, that much I know.
BMWSilver posted the following info:
E46 M-Tech II Bumper using HB4 (9006) Bulb
E46 Facelift Bumper with Round Fog Lamp using H11 Bulb
E46 Pre-Facelift Bumper with Rectangular Fog Lamp using HB4 (9006) Bulb
Would the 325/330 require H11 or HB4? I vaguely remember seeing the 330's fogs as ovalish. Definitely not rectangular like my PreFL E46.
2. Also noticed that the gap between the body and bumper has widened so much that I can now stick my pinkie finger in-between. Didn't know gravity affects BM bumpers just like they do onto women. I think scraping my ACS bumper on killer carparks possibly made it worse As it is, my 320 is currently lorry-height suspension! Like that also scrape... can't imagine what will happen when I lower it. So I thought I'd give it a nip-tuck/face-lift before I lower my ride. Anybody know where I can narrow the gap for the bumper? Appreciate if you can PM me place & charges. Thanks!
3. Painting of Door/Bumper stripes. - Anybody got experiences to share? I called a workshop listed in the SG.Workshops page and they quoted me 2 prices. 1 with and 1 without priming. The $200 price difference in apparently priming to smoothen out the dimply surface of the door/bumper stripes and to give gloss to the paint.
Would be great if you guys can advice me if it's worth going for the premium job; if you did the full works (+ primer) or just the basic colour spray. My E46 is reddish/maroon.
4. Spacers. For education sake.... People put on spacers to get better handling performace (due to wider wheel base), more 'space' for BBK calipers and for asthetics reasons? What is the commonly used sizes? 10mm or 20mm?
THANKS in advance!
