Great job on a beautiful car. What body kit is that?

Where did you wash the car? Looks like your at a parking garage?

Nice work and good job fixing the minor issue!

 

Nice to see you here mate!Post some pics in the e60.net:thumb:

Great job and looks awesome

 

thanks for sharing!!!

 

Is it me or is that one of the sexiest 5-series around? Nice work! Is it yours?

Also, what country are those plates from?

 

nice reflection and nothing like washng at a garage parking lot...sweet

 

usjdmtuner, do you do this too? I'm from NY and wouldn't even think about doing it in a garage parking lot haha

How would you get/transport water?

 

In Singapore, all our multistory carpark have a washing bay and you could get 2 pails of water for SD 20cents.

 

does that run on a timer ?
