ive searched as well as posted and i found someone who was in the process of making some but they were carbon fiber and im not a huge fan of that look. ive searched till my nails bled for r56 fenders couldnt find anything thats why i thought of going to turner they do alot of racing fenders but i guess they hate R56's

 

Tms doesn't hate r56s it's just they dont do anything for them. I saw a wide body r53 back in May in my works parking lot. I wonder if it would fit on a r56.

 

oh and ps to everyone.. i plann on going to bimmerfest... so far 978 Bmw's are registered to go and 6 Mini's including me.. if anyones interested i plan on going august 25th.

This will be the second year that I will be working the weekend of Bimmerfest! :(

 

Hey David, member Blainestang has wide fender arches on his R56 S.

Oh wait those are CF.

 

So what are we doing this week? Where in the world is either Nick and Ryan?

 

I'm not sure what we have planned for the week. Back to work this week after vacation. argh...

 

Ryan have you heard from Nick at all?

 

Hi Mike. He stopped by my house yesterday for some extra eyes on wiring his rear fog lights into his brake lights. We didn't really discuss anything about a gtg.

 

You need to help me do this!!!

 

He probably has other things on his mind.

I'm going to have the rear fogs programmed to actually function as rear fogs from the switch. There is a shop in Freeport ME that can do it.

 

I'm too cheap to have that function. plus, I never use my front fogs so I wouldn't end up using the rears either. I prefer to have them as daytime driving lights and extra brake lights.

Dave, it's pretty simple to tie them into the tail lights. Nick and I believe his were tied in to the wheel arch lights from the factory but not functional. We basically just cut them from the side markers and tied them right into the rear brakes. Gominigo used to supply a wiring kit to do it but they discontinued them. I can help you out any time.

 

I wonder if we could tie the fender markers to thee blinker function and the rear fogs to the break?? That would be kinda cool!

 

I don't see why those pulsar boards couldn't be used in a different set of lights. In my opinion, they cost too much to be in such a small light that wouldn't be noticed all that much. Since my pulsar install, I find myself hitting the brakes more when I have people behind me.

 

I want the rear fogs to function as fog lights since I've almost been run over acouple of times while driving on 101 in the middle of a snow storm. I'm looking into picking up a set of driving lights for more light coverage in the front.

What I would love to be able to retrofit onto my S is the LCI rear tails.

 

So...What are we feeling for a gtg this week? We didn't have one last week.

 

No meetup up this week?

 

hmmmmm??? Not too sure if I feel like trucking up to the Holy Grail after I get out of work. Any other thoughts?

 

Is that off 101?? I gotta run up to mini real quick n pick up my new bolts nnswap them in real quick so i should be free around 7-730??

 

It is just off 101 past McDonalds and Walgreens. but I don't even know if we are planning a gtg tonight.

 

Tomorrow night at the Grail work? I thought we decided that last week. Maybe I just did in my head. LOL

 

If we meet up tomorrow at the Holy Grail who can make it?

 

Me well as long as i can get everything ready for my weekend

 

So far

Nick
Dan
Dave
and me.
