405Ms (black) fitted with black grills today!

My wife picked up on it right away... "it looks like it's been pimped" she says; "except the wheels look too small for the car now". Great. Do I ask for ACS springs for christmas, or see if she suggests I get that 'fixed' as a freebie?

I do think she has a point...



I like the M Performance grills though:



Now it just needs to snow, although the tyres feel alot better than other winters in the 12C temps this afternoon though.

2.6bar front / 2.8bar rear as set by the dealer, fitted whilst they looked at an issue I had with a headlight flickering this morning.

Fab car. Black wheels don't do it for me personally but it looks great in all other respects.

Looks good to me

The arch gap is only going to be improved by lower springs as the rolling diameter of the wheel/tyres remains the same to within a few %, whatever your wheel size.

Edited to say: Shame you didn't clean those calipers whilst the wheels were off...

Very Nice but you do need springs for Christmas.
