Hey,

About 7 months ago, I bought a 2008 120D coupé here in Belgium.
It was completely stock and upon till now, following mods have been done;
- Darkened mirrors at 45%
- Black grill
- Blackline taillights
- Shark fin
- Alpine Audio install
- Eibach pro springs
- Performance exhaust
- Chiptuning -> 203hp
- Performance shift and powerbreak
- Installed BlackVue dashcam

Possible future mod:
- Performance trunk spoiler

Stock:


After all modifications Photoshoot with fellow 123d, both in Winter mode




















Dashcam (www.uwdashcam.be)

Nice Thaenzy !
Why did you use a Blackvue instead of Gopro ?

ps : do you speak French ?
there is a lot of Belgian members on Bmw-one.com (French forum)

Hey Ripper, thanks
I speak a bit of french but my mother tongue is Dutch. I might join that forum and create a post in English

I chose the BlackVue because I like a small, stylish camera which records all my drives in Full HD. The BlackVues are seen as the best dashcams at this moment. A GoPro is more for like track races and stuff?
It saves it's recording to an SD card and it also keeps track of your GPS coordinates so you can see where you've driven.
I also enabled the parking mode so when somebody hits my car when being parked, I'll have evidence...

I powder coated them with semi-gloss black .. The red lip was a pinstripe sticker..

Satin black was one of my choices

Did you post any pictures of yours?

Thanks! Included in the powder coat, they fixed all the road rashes and a crack on one of the wheels which was leaking air ..

Also, the red lip is just a pinstripe sticker

But I've peeled it off a few months ago

Yes, those lights were red.

I drove around for a few months before putting the factory ones back on..

With the headlights on, seems like there were too much color going on ..
