I'm lethal when I find a can of gloss black paint

[JDM]

So this weekend I decided after finding a can of plastic primer and black gloss paint in the shed that I quite fancied painting my spare set of graphite kidney grilles I had lying around.. I quite like the stealth look..

So that leaves a set of spare M grilles and a freshly washed mini on the drive... Im such a kid.

nice! Y blank the mini plate and not the z?

That will be my first mod again on my second M at the dealers before I even drive off, swapping from my existing car.

Definitely a different look....our D3BT has black kidneys and alloys, but the Roadster is staying stock. May one day return the BT to stock, too :?

Because the mini is the Girlfriends car. Im not bothered about having my plate on show but dont want to put hers on incase she isnt happy about it.

What colours the new one then? Hope everything goes OK with this one

Black sapphire. Looked at a nice Ruby Black one but running in service wasnt done until 2500 miles

Be interesting to see how your paint holds up, i ended up wrapping mine in the end

Nice choice.. Best colour although Im slightly biased Can't beleive how some people let the running in service go more than a thousand miles over. They dont deserve such cars IMO.

I painted the grilles on my old 1 series and they seemed to last quite well. Wrapping them. Bet that was a nightmare.

Looking forward to seeing pics of the M anyway

Im confused.. Do you mean matt black and grey grilles? I think that would look bl**dy awful!! :?

Er, that was taken in Feb this year whilst most of the country was still under the white stuff Checkout the long shadows......at around 2:30 in the afternoon. A bit of road muck on that day was somehow inevitable, and they're clean, now
