I'm not sure if this is a BMW 135i or lower engined specced 1 Series Coupe but seriously, some Singaporeans have REALLY bad taste when it comes to doing up their cars. This isn't the first time that I've seen a disaster on wheels surfacing from the island down south.

That number plate is not cheap either by Singaporean standards!

The liquid paper / 'Whited Out' (as opposed to Blacked Out) look ;).

Wouldn't it be illegal to have that rear and head light covered in that colour?
Based on the photos posted on your blogsite, it really confuses the other road users when looking up the brake lights

Good point James.

The next question is then, why was the car not defected by Land Transport Authority of Singapore? I'm sure they are even more strict than our JPJ.

Also by covering them up, the front lights probably won't work as well as they normally would, in lighting up the road ahead (especially during night time). Even if they are factory xenons. Further grounds for a defect notice? :hmmmm:

With the lights being painted that way, I can bet the xenon looks dimmer than the conventional bulb lights

and yeah,
IMHO, the rear spoiler is a big NO-NO man!

hehe

Typical Singaporean at its best. Well, luckily this fella didnt paste "Monster" or "No Fear" sticker all over like they always do. Hehehe.

I bet we'd see this setup abt a few weeks time in penang.. this 1series is definitely the trendsetter for our local ahbeng.. kedai abang also would introduce their 'whiteout' head n rear lamps lineup soonest possible. Prepare for nosebleed lads.

I like it, good base to start from.

I'd de-chrome the car (e.g. grilles).
I'd de-tag the M logo.
I'd strip the car and roll cage it.
Slam the car and put a huge ass time-attack wing and front under chin spoiler.

Heh.
