proper intro

Hello everyone ive been lurking on these forums for a bit now and figured its time for a proper intro. I purchased my 2009 335d about 6 months ago. 1 owner car and she has 125k miles on her now. I do plan on doing some mods and this forum is full of great info which i greatly appreciate.
Cheers heres a picture of her.

Sharp. I recall a picture when you were looking to buy it. It was parked along a green (plants) fence.

What branch are you in?

I think that red on the e90 looks awesome. I should've gotten that color instead of boring black. Then again, I do blend in.

Welcome to the diesel sub forum. Hope we can help you keep your baby healthy and purring. I do like the red as well. My space gray is boring but perhaps stealthy on the "being noticed" by police front.

You see those little "grills" down by the fog lights? The ones that are kind of silver gray in color. Matte black Plasti-Dip spray works nicely on those, and it isn't too hard (well a little bit of a pain) to mask off the surrounding surfaces for the work. IMO that would be the final touch. I suppose you could also use a gloss black if you prefer.

He could probably find ones in black and save the trouble, and then sell me the grey ones because one of mine is broken!

I'm actually debating getting a new front bumper that's a bit more aggressive, but if I do keep this bumper definitely will black out the grey parts.
