Re: new member
things such as:
-where to buy the blacked out BMW logos? (i dont want the carbon fibre one, just black)
-where to buy/install the front angel eye lights? (which is the best? i saw one here called sonar and depo: http://www.bmw-sg.com/forums/bmw-3-series-owners/66276-depo-angel-headlights-led-signal-e90.html)
-where to buy the front splitter and rear boot spoiler? (i know these are common mods but i am completely new :x )
( if i heard correctly from posts, the splitter is relatively cheap as compared to purchasing a full bodykit? )
- also, i've seen some bmw 320i's with extra added on chrome bits where the signal light on each side of the car is? (similar to the m3 signal lights)
IT WOULD Be great if someone could help me out here!!
thanks!

Re: new member
Same as mine
Also on 320i XL , black pfl
For BMW logos ,
You can search at eBay something like... "BMW trunk emblem" and add like "rear / front / wheel center cap / carbon fibre"
Got my carbon fibre wheel centre caps at about S$35 for all 4, waiting for the trunk emblem, delivery may take about 1 - 2 weeks
I heard that a normal wheel cap may cost about $15 each, and an emblem (or logo) may cost at about $40 , not sure, just heard...

Just wanna indicate with the red arrows my plans so far for mods (simple and easy mods) for starters.
FRONT:
- Front lip (added on? I don't know which is good, so far i've found these:
UNI Guard BMW E63 E39 E46 E90 E92 M3 M5 M6 EZ 3M Front Bumper Spoiler Chin Lip | eBay )
- Black out grills (found this:
BMW E90 Sedan Matte Black Front Kidney Grille Grills 05-08
)
- Eyebrow covers for the headlights? (i dont know what they're called but hopfully u know what i mean? also not sure where to purchase)
SIDE:
Want to get the extra fender chrome pieces (but not the M3 Ones)
i've seen these on a couple of cars but dont know where to source them!
BACK:
-looking to change the rear diffuser. (so far this is what i found:
06-08 BMW E90 4DR 325 335 Rear Finisher Diffuser Lip | eBay
)
What do you guys think of the ebay sellers and items i've found so far? :x

Re: new member
Since we're on the topic! has anyone seen this?
BMW ACS EXHAUST MUFFLER TIP/DUAL OUTLET E90 E60 E65 E53 | eBay
Its an AC Schnitzer (rep i assume) muffler tip to add on to your standard exhaust. Im thinking of changing my 320i exhaust (tip only) to a dual tip exhaust but as im fine with the sound and performance, i'm not looking to spend $$$ to change the entire system.
Is there any other way i can just change the tips? (similar to 325i tips)
