G50 BMW lights update

Well I recently came across a large sum of money to complete my project and order a few parts...

Ordered the PRE-facelifted BMW lights which look a lot like the Q45 Y33 Anny model lights. Haven't installed quite yet due to them being a little bit bigger than my current ones. Also the hood is getting lengthened to cover up the area that stuck out previously.

I have plans on ordering a full JP Aero and some other goodies soon. Here is a quick ms paint of what a JP G50 with my headlights would look like.

Props for you for doing your own thing, I hope it works out as well as you like! IMO, you are missing out on the key element...or maybe you haven't, but what about the stance? The kit is one thing, but the suspension and wheels are the money maker!

the car was already modified by me to accept any E39 headlights, I just had to chose which ones flowed best with the car. The only fab work left is extending the hood bonnet.
