Those pictures do show how nicely phone camera technology is coming along. Good stuff!

The car isn't bad either

I must be alone in not liking the pure white of the new BMW headlights.

Am I the only one who really loves yellow angel eyes? They contrast so nicely against the Xenons.

Really?

The yellow sidelight just goes better with Xenons as it makes the Xenons stand out even more and the contrast difference is pleasing, white on white just looks too aftermarket.

It's the reason I swapped out the Philips silver vision sidelight bulbs for the original warm bulbs on my car too as the contrast is just much nicer!

I definitely disagree with you on the e46! The reason it's nearly nice on the e92 is because it's a properly gold halo, rather than just an off white normal sidelight:

Matched sidelights look a million times better on the e46

I just bought a 1.0l Corsa for £200.

I now expect to be banned from the Motors section...

That pic isn't really doing any favours though, all flared out!

I think the amber/yellowness of the sidelight looks good, at least on the coupe anyway!

That just looks crap mrk. I was talking about the contrast of yellow angel eyes not the contrast of crappy little halogen sidelight bulbs

mrk · 2 Nov 2011 at 19:54

I disagree with some of the stuff you say a lot of the time and this is one of them

[TW]Fox · 2 Nov 2011 at 19:56

Of course you disagree, you are defending your car.

mrk · 2 Nov 2011 at 19:58

It wouldn't matter if it was mine or any other on the road, I just think it looks better. It just so happens I had a picture of what I was on about of my car, could easily have pulled one off Google but why when I have one already online!

What's your point Robbie? People have different aesthetic tastes. Deal with it

And I have no problem with that, preferences are unique and all that jazz. But if someone says abc is better than def, then someone has every right to post a reply to that.

So you've never yourself said "That looks crap" rather than "that looks crap in my opinion" then?

Context! I don't think my post, or posts, indicated anything but my own personal opinion. If a post did then I do apologise and if you point it out then I will take it under advisement for next time so I know how to better word a post.

I have never stated that something is a million times better than something else, for example

That just looks a wee bit naff. :p

That looks just nasty and cheap.

How does it look nasty and cheap when that's exactly how it left the factory?

Well there you go, mis-quoting me again.

You don't have to like something because it came out of the factory.
