...how wiered is this [hmm .

After washing the car yesterday out of curiosity I put my original indicators back in after having black projectors for a few months, and removed my black colour coded kidney grill and refitted the original bling bling grille ....what a difference :eek: ... the grille has given the car more presence ... . In fact I think the original indicators make a big diffrence.

Has anybody else performed any reverse mods?

..think i've caught the reverse mod bug :o

Oh yea, eyebrows to no eyebrows, projector indicator lamps to stock, custom font no. plate to standard.....happens all the time, depending on mood ;)

I think the solution to this bug is just do a new mod :D instead of changing everything back

of course you could really go to town and reverse trade the car in for an E36 [crackmeup [crackmeup [crackmeup

But seriously ....yes I too have had phases of this , I am sure most of us have . We get used to one particular look , then even a minor further change or reversal can be quite stricking , at least at first until you get used to the new look ..and so on .

My particular "thing " used to be that I would buy something new for the car that did not quite look right once fitted , but because i had soent time and money i brainwashed myself that it DID look good ...... then every once in a while say , I would forget where i parked my car in a multi storey or somehing , and as I am looking around I would catch sight of a car similar to mine but with some ugly or unsuitable mod fitted ....then I would be shocked to discover it actually WAS my car !!

Can't say I've done this (as I haven't had any mods to reverse :o) but I would agree the chrome grill give more presence, I think I prefer it over the black tbh.

I've done this plenty of times. The projector indicators you bought from me were due to a reverse mod :D . When I re-fitted my chrome grills to get my black ones colour coded, i did quite like the look. But then I got my colour coded ones on and think they look seriously better. Deffo think standard indicators look the business.
