Will I be able to add that style bumper (with the retractable washers) and the Xenon headlights with the light accents to my 2009 128i BMW?

I haven't updated this build thread in a while. Here's to better late than never.

New parts, yet to be installed

I had a third alignment done at Altech in as many months. I don't like the way the numbers are still changing, particularly the toe, months after a suspension install.

I've taken the car for a second opinion to Scott at Can-Alignment. Made some changes to my set-up, notably

● 1/16" toe out in the front
● 1/8" toe in for the back
● -2.7deg front camber

We'll see how things work out at my next event on the Mosport GP track this coming tuesday.
