Subtle mod of the day

I ditched the fake carbon fiber badges and replaced them all with shiny new genuine ones, but I'm never one to just settle so I made a subtle adjustment - Body coloured (Montego Blue) quarter segments :D

I want a full set of some nice red and white badges for the whole car, but I believe my wheels have an odd 60mm size :/

How did you change just the blue segments? I think that looks great and I need to get rid of my ratty black and white front badge....

Is your boot lid matt, or is it just a trick of the light?

I thought that when I posted it! It must be a trick of the light. I've bought a new dslr camera to use instead of my phone as I plan to do a little bit of photography and so far I've been getting some pretty weird effects in my photos.

Badge still looks glossy though.

The badge is the focal point of the lens, whatever effect is affecting the surrounding area wont apply to the badge. There are all sorts of settings I'm not overly familiar with as yet.

You need to type your post after the last /quote.

I used these http://shadowlinetrim.com/overlays.html. They do all of the OEM BMW body colours. I figured the blue didn't deviate too much from the OEM blue and white whilst still enhancing the look of the car.

Cheers mate.... think I'll treat myself to an early Christmas present :thumbsup:

I just noticed you're part of the Montego Blue club. These look great in person you won't be disappointed!

Unfortunately they don't do a set tailored to the Z4 yet they do all the others so I ended up mixing and matching from two sets to compensate for the Z4's awkward and numerous sizes.

Basically you want to make sure you have a 70mm for the bonnet, 82mm for the boot and two side repeaters and whatever your wheels are which I think will be the 68/70mm again. They have a chart to tell you which sets have each of the sizes in. Steering wheels are all the same.
