First little upgrade for a long time done this weekend in a nice warm garage.
And out in the daylight this morning.
I have the seal of approval too.
Pictures don't really do it justice. Roof module to get fitted soon. Some new DRLs, extra boot lights and footwell lights.

Very subtle highlight, like it was meant to be there. Looks great. Bet you hadn’t had a drink when you did that. ( steady hands required ).

Long time since I used to put these on new cars at PDI Tom, it's not perfect but you can't see both sides at the same time.

That looks great! Very 'factory'
Busy in the garage this afternoon.
Quite expensive spraying bench but it was free.

A work bench that you can adj for height, being a short arse that's what I call a good buy. Perhaps now you can dispose of them steps you bought me for your garage. Only one problem though does it go high enough for Bozzy.?????
Still waiting to find out Roy. He's not been since I got it. Hoping to finish the DRL strips tomorrow..

Some of the E89 models had a 12v power socket fitted in the dash under tray below the glove box, mine didn't but, the moulded port for it was there.
So, I bought a cig. lighter body from eBay which was a perfect fit, along with the shortest double USB power adapter I could find (total length 35mm.).
Using an "add-a-fuse" and about 60cm of dual cable I've wired it from the fuse box.
An added bonus was a pack of 2 of these USB connectors,
which when connected to the dashcam power cable (which now seem to come with USB plugs) I secured with a couple of laps of insulation tape.
With the cable fed through one of the heater vents holes it plugs in with very little protrusion.
Another USB 2 port socket is for another day.
Tomorrow I'll finish the new DRLs in the front bumper.
Gloss painted grill trims refitted today.

Job completed today with final fitting and wiring the DRLs.
Wiring fed up behind the headlight unit and access into the top of the unit and tapped into the Angle Eye wiring.
Much appreciated assistance from Roy @Rha and great to see him again.
Very happy with the outcome.
@Paul Rice asked me back in November what I might be bringing home for my car, here's one.
