It's all subjective. I like just about anything functional looking so I'm biased.

Sometimes, like most computers, turning off the car, and restarting will make errant messages go away. Then there are the other times.

My car does a lot of weird stuff. Lol. So far everything has turned off but a few things seem like kinks that don't go away.

1200 Mile service today, washed and drove her around...

I also tried to schedule a track day for her next weekend, but that is not looking to good as they have me wait listed since they think I am a newbie... which I am not.

Rear reflector delete done by my lovely wife while I was away. I get home tomorrow - so grille surrounds should be done then. Then tint/expel and done for a bit.

Nice work!

However, personally I don't like it. For some reason it doesn't look right to me. It looks like something should be there and somehow was forgotten, looks unfinished.

When I'll get my M2 i will try to fabricate a black mesh type grill with a small diamond in it. Still not sure as it bothers me the way it looks painted same color as the rest of the car and do not like the shipped reflectors as they are.

I drove it.

Still in the break in period it was kinda fun, getting it out of the garage and waking up the neighbours at 2:00PM in the afternoon and stuff and revving and more revving and steering sometimes.Traffic. Braking. Not too much. Shifting, a lot. Parking the thing, listening to the PDC, so sexy!

Can't wait to have the 1200mi/2000km service in about 10 days.

Cheers
Robin

Won't the mesh show through to the paint or whatever the reflector is currently concealing?

Omg. My sarcasm detector is broken. I can't tell if you want them farther away or really close up.

Lmao. My sarcasm totally does not translate well here so actually it was a serious request. I wanna see how they look from far away. I'll be painting my own reflectors.

Not sure what's there now. I believe someone wrote that it is black underneath the reflector. But since i don't have a car I'm not sure. I will have to look at it first and the decide how to fabricate the mesh. I could place a thin black backing behind the mesh if there is paint..

Let me get a car first and then I'll worry about it

I'd prefer mesh as well...I think paint color is behind it. These pix are from the ind diy. Since mine is BSM, it should be fine.
