test fitted the projector and everything fits great!!! I was scared it wouldnt fit then i would be screwed! But everything seemed to fit like a glove! I just uploaded some pics! Ill have to wait till the weekend to get some pics of them installed on the car since i dont have the time or light to take off the bumper and whatnot. But heres some pics....

nice, you didn't cut the projectors itself to make the projector fit the shrouds more perfectly? There is a lil V where you suppose to cut. Maximus96 told me about this. I'll be cutting that V very soon for my retro.
This is what he said in an email.

your are using tsx projectors and E46 bixenon shrouds right? on the top or bottom (i forget which) of the chrome ring around the projector there is a notch that the ring clips onto. cut a small v-shape out of the shroud to accommodate for it. sorry i don't have a picture. i read about this after i already done mine and it seems like a better way to go.

I'm double checking to see if that was the clips he was talking about. I was playing with the projectors before. It seems that the projectors is on pretty firmly on there without the clip. If not you can always use Mr JB for that. Anyways, I'll double check to see whether my guess was right about that.

You can glue the projectors chrome tip to the shroud from the back so that it wont look like u glued it. Nice but damn your taking forever!!! HURRY!!! HAHA
