Crimson Red 2011 128i progress

In August of 2012 i set out to find the perfect red BMW. As uncommon as the 1 series is to someone with little knowledge of BMW's, i happened to stumble across a great deal and a perfect little red car i was in search for. Bone stock and very little options added to my 1er, i knew from day 1 i gradually had intentions to put a lot of work into it, just not all at once. There will always be big plans for her but money seems to get in the way as im sure everyone else can agree on that one. Overtime, the little changes made, make all the difference. The warranty mentality got in the way for the longest time but finally got around to getting a PE exhaust and an Injen intake for my little one. From the day she came to my driveway with a slight bump in the road which involved a little body work fix but shes made it to this very day almost a year later. Here are some photos

Its hard to tell with the lighting, did you get headlights with black instead of the chrome? I was thinking about this but couldn't find an example on our color
