Eyebrows anyone?

How long do you think it'll take for eyebrows to hit the market for the 1er???

I'm normally not a fan of them, but they may be an answer for the wide eyed & bushy tailed look of the headlights.

PS anyone???

I agree,... some of the spy shots had tape covering the bottom and top portions of the lights, and it ended up making the front look nice and aggressive. The huge lights make the front look a little too 'friendly.' We need a more aggression,... aaarrrghhh.

These would definately help those that think the front is similar to a "scared cat". :biggrin:

Just replace the tape in this spy shot with some stick-on body-colored eyebrows top and bottom the whole front will become more aggressive.

DITTO!! Eye lids look tacky IMO. If you cant stand it THAT much then buy a 3 series. But if someone comes up with something that looks stock I might be for it.

Yeah... that's the problem for me too.
It has to look OE, or not at all.

Love it. But it looks good to me b/c of the tape on the top and bottom of the lights. By housing, you mean the inside of the lights, then that would be a bonus.

I don't see what the problem is with the headlights.

Guess I'm the only one that think they look just fine.

Too me they look disproportionate to the size of the car.

---They'd look great with Mr. Bean behind the wheel.

I know that a lot don't agree, but I'm okay with them as well. :wink:

The Mr Bean thing is pretty funny, though.
