I hate to say it mate but it seems like you have spent a hell of a lot of money on a product you don't know much about?

I bought my car slightly used so could not spec LEDS, even when looking for used/ pre reg cars I specifically looked for one with LEDS. In the end one came along with everything I wanted apart from LEDS and I can honestly say its not bothered me one bit not having them. Its not as if the standard xenons look sh*t, they are still really good looking lights, unlike the debate between halogen and xenon

Exhausts are very subjective, but honestly I love the sound of my MPE and wouldn't change it.

Wait you paid £4K for an MPE? You got your pants pulled down there I think.

With regards to LEDs - don't let it bother you. I have them. I think they are amazing. Would I try to retrofit them for, likely, £3K? if not more, no... I would not.

Go buy spacers & springs or as the man Denso suggested coil overs.

Spacers wise I run Litchfields and they're great.

My car is also Mineral White, but I have LEDs, jealous? I could sell you it

No doubt the LED lights are desirable, but seriously, there's no way on earth they'll be worth it now!

Not being funny, but did your last car have LED lights and now you can't live without them?? Do you walk up to your fully loaded M4 and have to avert your eyes from the headlights as the Xenons offend you so much?

My CP was a last minute decision as the dealer had pre-ordered for the showroom. It doesn't have LEDs and yes, whilst I wished they were optioned, I got over it! Not exactly a deal breaker when everything else you want is there.

The bottom line is that you have to ask yourself a question...is this the last car you're ever going to own? If so, fill your boots and spend your money. If not, let it go and get whatever the tech is at the time when you come to change. You'll not get a penny back for lights that will have zero effect on either your driving enjoyment, or indeed the actual value when you come to sell the car on.

Nice bit of tech, but just get it next time!

KW HAS kit is a really good idea and wheel spacers really changes the cars look

Here is a link to some some KW Kits

if you havent already then i highly recommend the CG Precision valve controller. i have it on my M4 makes the MPE even better.

i wont go on about what it does as you probably already know if youve read much on here - its a 100% must have if youve spent £4k on an MPE though.
whats another £150 to make it much louder hey! and you can return to OEM mode at the push of a button.

took 10 days from order to get to me in hertfordshire from the US. and 20 mins for my local garage to fit and £20 labor costs!!
