It's one of their best episodes I think.

Have you seen the this video? Only a part of it made the final episode. The first time I saw it I couldn't stop laughing-

Appropriate captions: "WHOA shit dude, you scared me!" or "SHHHHHH....did you hear that? Shh! Wait...There it is AGAIN! Didn't you hear that? Anyways, cocaine's awesome."

I haven't seen this deleted scene. This is superb. It's what Top Gear was missing: general, unscripted buffoonery.

Spot the F on. As I was reading through, I was about to start looking for a pic to show how weird they look on facelift coupes.

I did get around to activating my DRL's the other day and looooooove the halogen glow in the high beam housing. So early 2000s chic.

Edit: Almost positive that these are Depo assemblies.

Thinner rings and halogen lamps are definitely the better look. It's hard to find them NOT in 6000k "HID" blah blah.

Yeah, those do look better. Again, I think it's the fact that the rings are incomplete i.e. cutoff at the top like they are in pre-facelift coupes/M3s. Also, I used to dislike the ambers, but those I quite like.
