Before i start i gotta put a few notes about this thread:
NOTE 1: Mike over at F1 Autohaus has 10 pairs of the FX-R projectors for a super good price, he's also got 5 pairs of replica e46 shrouds. So hit him up asap and pick up a pair you wont be disappointed.

Send Mike a PM
NOTE 2: For this retrofit i will be using AL parts, NOT ZKW, However i would think ZKW would be very similar
Aight ladies and gents here...we...go...
This first post is for the preliminary planning of how i want to go about the retro. so here is what im working with
AL Frame
FX-R Projector with bulb spacer
Ok so this is how the shroud should look when the projector is in, notice no gap between the shroud and the frame
test fitting the fx-r, perfect fit...almost
ok so here is where the fun starts, this is a side pic of the projector, and a side pic of the projector with the shroud, notice the amount of space that the projector has to move back (dont worry about the angle of the projector im trying to hold everything and take the pictures at the same time :rofl
ok so basically im going to dremel out a small amount of the frame and then test fit it again, the key is to not cut any more than you need to because you might need that extra amount to mount the projector
finding out what needs to be cut
marked areas that need to be cut
Thats all for today, off to Lowes to pick up some new dremel bits :thumbsup:
Subscribe now ill be back shortly :4ngie:
