thank you

that's the way i like to "mod" my car's just enough of the right add on's, it's took me a year to get the right part's together for the out side and going by what other folk/freinds have said ...  i feel proud of what ive done  i get stranger's looking over it when it's parked and folk asking allsorts of questions .. all good of course

"THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT ALL WORTH WHILE"

ive modded ever single car ive owned since i was 16 (20 yrs ago) and i feel now this will be my last, so i thought i'd do it in style

why, you're not due to fall off the perch are you?

great looking car and a lot of work, admittedly some bits aren't quite to my taste but it's unique, and to modify an e39 and manage to pull it off is an achievement

Looks nice 

Few questions though if I may

Where did you source most of your parts ?

Anyway, what's the bit missing on the left of the front grill ?

And how much have you spent on it !

Personally I'm finding it a bit difficult to mod the inside of mine - I don't know what to fit / change ! - It was easy on the E34 !!!

All I've done is fitted rear cup holders (as my old one had them) and waiting for the 6 cd for the boot (was missing in mine!)

the whole in the grille is the arm for opening the bonnet latch, i wouldn't like to guess how much it's cost (so far) ... but i bet my wife know's

most of the extras came via ebay, soursed from Germany, Poland and America

 

thanks Stephen  it's not that i'm getting to old for mod'n car's ... it's just that it's getting such an expensive hobby, once ive got my E39 to where i'm happy then i'll start on my E30 (maybe that'll be my last modded car?)

i love the front bumper, think it looks really different and cool, tbh i'm not to gone on the rear bumper (reminds me too much of the mk2 mondeo rsap kit).  the galant spolier was a great choice, really blends in.  overall i'm very impressed, looking forward to the silver panels in the seats, should set it off nicely.

Doh - forgot about the bonnet release !!!

Was your steering wheel standard or did you change it ? - I want a multifunction as it didn't come with one

Do you have any recommendations regarding sourcing your bits via the other European EBay sites ?

Sorry to be lazy, but there are some stinkers out there, and any recommendations would be great
