Hey guys , I thought I'd share the fruits of my labor of the past several week-ends . Been so busy that I had to back-off these last two 'cause the girlfreind was starting to get jealous of my 6 heheh ! It all started with the calipers that has now become a STICKY .
Then I got the courage to gut out my fenders to install my BMW fender flashers . They had been bought since April ! LOL Ordered me some GB MAZDASPEED springs (fought with UPS daily for a misunderstanding over a bad condition delivery - long story) and had those installed another w-end .... the next day had my 5 Star Shine.com paint protection sealer installed ; just there t'was 14 hours of labor with the removing of scratches/polishing , washing at least 6-7 times + the steps of application of the sealer ! Meanwhile during the week got me some stickers conceived and on another w-end applied them , accompanied by some NiteShades on the front markers .
Here are my 2005 BMW 330 Ci (coupes only) LED Fender Flashers . I fabricated my own pattern with a muti-step pic session included in case anyone wnated me to do a write-up . I left the cutting to a buddy of mine who has a custom shop and who's done 100's of these jobs ; but was actually his first with this kind of difficult rear box pattern (usually they are circular - see pics) aside from the fact too that the box reaches close to the edge within 4mm . Ever since I laid my eyes on these babies w/passing Bimmers ; I knew I had to get'em badly , despite their co$t ! But ya know , when you want something bad ; NOTHING is too expensive ! I find them a safety factor besides their awesome good looks it gives the 6 .
The actual BIMMERS at the BMW dealer I got them from
Here's the rear box of the flasher
See here the commonly found on 4-door BMW 3 & 5 series flashers
and a dealer lot 330 Ci flashers below ; mucho better as they are LEDs , the housing is slimmer and the shape sublime !
Here's 2 pics below of my 6 before the flashers , MS springs drop , stickered , NiteShaded , and sealed ... to get an idea of what kind of gap I had here's the front gap and the rear gap .... the stock & MS spring side by side ... and my freind's spring compressor
and below after one week I had two fingers and a half - front , two rear
Close-up of the front/rear gap w/flasher and NighShades
I like the effect of the Nightshades hiding my Amber marker and how the chromed headlight gets ALL the attention + the shape of it marries well with the Bimmer Flasher - kinda the same shape at the tips - facing upwards
