Xmas came early for my fiancé!

Picked the car up about a week and a half ago. We both love it! I had some "presents" for the car already spent about 3 hrs getting everything on and togeather yesterday.

Installed Wheel Arches, 20" 214 Wheels, Matte Black Grilles and wrapped the lower fins to match, LED Plate Lights, and LED Halos, finally blacked out the blue parts of BMW Roundles.

Just have 2 more things left to do install 4.8 Exhaust Tips & Clear Reflectors!Sorry about the crappy pics (iphone)

Looks great! Did you do the wheel arches on your own? How difficult was it? Thanks.

Thanks for the comments.

In regards to how hard the install I found it very easy I had all the right tools. I used a automatic center punch to remove the existing rivets and then used a long dry wall screw to remove the rivet bodies, the aches came off with little effort. The reinstall was very easy the whole thing too me about 40 mins start to finish and I didn't remove the wheels. It could be a 20-30 min job if you have all the right tools.
