AW with few performance parts

Joey_T · 09-03-2009, 04:35 PM

I installed shadowline grills and stripes today

I'm happy with the result and here are some pics I'd like to share with you:

Well getting the grills out was quite a challenge, but due to a DIY on this site it was managable (thanks AndyM!). I used a hook tool and it worked great! But to get the upper clips out you have to move the front fender a bit out - and still you have very little space to work with... Well but it was still done within 15 minutes.

Looks great, you gotta get the performance spoiler next!

Joey_T · 09-03-2009, 04:48 PM

Thanks! I know, I know... Already planning

Awesome, if that's what mine is going to look like I cannot wait

hot car and hot pics!

BSM 135i · 09-03-2009, 08:08 PM

i like, but IMO i think the performance stripes look good only on AW (probably because that's all i've seen them installed on lol). performance spoiler will really set it off.

cagekicker · 09-03-2009, 11:22 PM

good job so far.

tastefully done!

nice!
did you do the stripes yourself?
was it hard?

skiguy1981 · 09-05-2009, 10:21 AM

Yup I did it myself. It wasn't hard to do, but I had previous experience with stripes on a MINI. As long as you know that you need to wet the inner part of stripes (where the glue is) with water and soap before you put them on, you won't have any troubles. By doing this you have the ability to align the stripes the way you want and when you are happy with the position you just take something like a credit card to get the soapy water out and only then the glue starts to grab...
