116i eyelids

Hi, I'm from Thailand and I've been reading and learned a lot from here, this is my 1 post ever.

I just bought the eyelids from Japan since I never saw any of them here, so I decided to share one of my beauty. almost forgot it does not effect the high beam.

when I ordered it came in black FRP I should unpain and I decided to go with black because it does look really good on it. so I'd love to have your comments between this and new facelift

cheers,

I think the eyebrows look quite good in the dark, when they are lit up. These eyelids are covering them up. And they don't match the color of the car either, to make the lights look slimmer.

I purposely want it black because it cut with the car colour. you are right it does make the light look slimmer and more aggressive look but that's the idea of it

But I don't think it did, since they are black. Maybe they would have made the lights look slimmer if the eyelids were orange. And I suspect it would look less aggressive in the dark with the eyebrows covered.

Sorry but looks odd. Keep the light look original as it is a good look. The black grill is enough in the front. If you paint the tyre rims black this will settle the cars look down.

It is different
I would be interested to see what the front would look like if the lids were colour coded to the body colour. That would give it a whole new look.
If you do that, post some pics....

Hi banmine, here is the link http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/e153981202
They also have unpainted, it's a bit pain in the butt because the only key word that's work is 'BMW f20' and you have to go through many pages.

the unpainted is cheaper, it will take sometime to the warehouse and it will let you choose how do you want to put it in details, I tried put it as gift to reduce the tax. you can check it out later when the times come.
