In understand the "nun" aspect, but aren't nuns' habits mostly black? You could call this the "penguin"

Some orders of NUN's wear white habits, or we could call it a white wabbit!

Whats that song, run rabbit, run rabbit, run run run!

Think Penguins have more black than white.

Or, what goes black & white, black & white, black & white ....... a nun in a revolving door!

Weather is good.. for winter... it was colder last week... I'm on the coast so no frosts here ... What S/S pedals did you install... ? btw I've completed the Led bulb replacement on the rear lights..... look pretty good.. I have the HID kit for the Fogs just need some time to install... also have a 5000k replacement HId for my Xenons on the way... I got some of those leds for the Angel Eyes and the resistor fried within one hour. .. they are very shoddy .. and someone is making a lot of money off these... led themselves are still ok so I am wiring up a harness to try with a 50w 6 Ohm resistor to see if that works....have GP Thunders in there for the tiem being....don't forget to drop by the dealer to try those black 21ers!!!

I bought the SS pedal box from BMW, simply SS around the rubber, thru the middle and also on the throttle pedal.

Yeh, I put those leds on the AMG we have with big arse resistors, those resisitors run hot too, burn your skin hot! Also run 8000k xenon ds1 bulbs on it as well.

Those 5000k ones will look good but its not much of a step up as the OEM ones you have would be either 4200k or 4700k anyway?

The only thing I need to do now is the rear number plate bulb replacement on the new X5, then its all done!

Went 5000k (Stock 4300k) as that is what the HID fogs are that I am installing... prefer the white and higher Lumens (!) rather than blue tinge....

How come no inside shots?? I guess the FF0236 is no different to the 2008 model as nobody has shown anything new. Outside is looking good. I may have seen you a week or two back but the car had no plates at all.
