Current 1 series hatchback owners...eyelids?

///MG · 10-18-2007, 06:01 PM

I'd imagine that the headlights on the coupe are the same as on the hatchback. I'm interested i pics of eyebrows. Generally not a fan. but I had them on my 2002 A4 and they made the car look so different.

Anyone have pics or a website to by them?

I knew someone would post that pic.... should have said it in my first post.

Any other pics... with slightly "less" modded cars?

How do those attach? Some sort of adhesive?

There is a priming agent (black in color) that you paint on the contacting edge of the eyelid. Then you spread another black adhesive, much more viscous, to the eylid and attach that to the headlight. Use painters tape to hold it here for a set amount of time... and voila.

I did this mod on my A4 and those things can stand one hell of a beating. Over 2 years with them, countless hand washes, carwashes, and pressure washing at times and they never lost their stick.

PS - thanks for the pics, I'm sold ont he mod.

+1 definitely one of my first mods

Generally not a fan of lids....
but in this case, it definitely helps reduce the O RLY look.

Overlay tints on the huge sides would also help.

Definately agree with you on that.

Man, I think eyelids look so gaudy.

BMW Dreamer · 03-23-2008, 06:10 PM

Eyelids, something to consider.

Love the wheels in this pic - anyone know what brand/style these are? And if they'd be good to mount a set of snow tires on? Figure I'll buy them now as winter comes to a close... hopefully can get some close-out deals.

Not a fan of those eyelids, makes the headlights look like droopy eyes. The eyelids should make it look more aggressive.. which the side tints seem to help a little.. Either way I doubt I'll touch mine

These are BBS LeMans, also known as LM's. These are a 2 piece forged wheel. Known to some as the best wheel ever produced. I would say they are better for summer wheels. Mount some summer tires on these, and put the winter tires on your stock wheels.
