Been busy with a few cans and I've gotta say, I love this stuff. Gives a nice easy finish!

Im toying with spraying the lower two "splitter" secrions too but not sure how it would look and cant imagine it will be easy to get a nice, cl3an line. Just wondering if anyone has and has photos?

Reason being that the previous owner has scuffed one a bit and I've not found anyone confident enough with paint to touch it up yet!

Also have had my csl' sprayed in anthricate so will chuck up some photos of them once I get some rubber later :)
 
Hi Jaw
Nice pic of the car and like the idea on the front end.
I've noticed by your plates your in Perth WA
I arrived 4 months ago and shipped my BMW Z4 2.5 SE 2003 over from the UK to Perth
Maybe we can arrange a meet up at some point as I am in Hillarys.
 
If a mod could move this into the 'm specific' that'd be great, not sure what happened there sorry.

Lose the badge though, just doesnt look right.

Cheers :) I like the badge, sets it off nicely imo, but will play with the positioning. A smaller badge could be a good idea that said?

My wheels just came back and I Couldn't be happier with the colour against the colour of the car. was a little apprehensive as thought they'd turn out to be too dark.

Just waiting for tyres the right size to come in..

on the plus side, they weigh in at 44 kilos inc packaging, so are in the right ballpark for CSLs, as long as I haven't added weight I'm happy.
 
This is exactly what I want to achieve with my car

Including the wheel spec

Just get rid of the m badge in the grill

Looks good on the bumper however a bit to B&Q DIY for me, getting mine done in a wrap so stone chips wont be an issue.... Just re wrap when required.

Plastidip peels off so can just peel it when it gets too damaged :) wrap is a good idea though, dark carbon would look awesome imo. Is yours the bumper that is in your sig still? I reckon it looks sweet as is but colouring it might spoil it because the lower bit isnt segregated like the m bumper if that makes sense? Just my 2c
 
I would not give you way because at first glance I would think its pretend M ;) just kidding .. its your car do what u want;) :poke:
People get out of my way on motorway for some reason, even without the badge in the front ...

Both DIY to me, but dont have an issue with either. Both reversable, and plastidip sems pretty durable on the front fom past experience.
