Couple of small mods

I rarely put any pics up but just done some small mods that I would like to share a couple of pics (taken on iphone so quality not too great)

First up I wetsanded/polished my rear and had them tinted with a light subtle shade (similar to lamix)
I ordered some new centre wheel caps to match the boot/bonnet badges as my old ones were bubbling up
fitted my new M3 spoiler (thanks to AWBimmer for you advise fitting)
Rebadge with gloss black badges (ive had this sitting in the boot for 4 months )

I am more than happy how the rear looks now and imo the M3 lip spoiler finish's it off nicely

(I know some will not agree with the number plate holder but I like it)

Wheel caps before (excuse the kerb'age on the alloys will be getting refurbed)


Old caps showing signs of bubbling/new caps comparison


New centre caps

I like the mods, how hard was the boot spoiler to fit? I want one and would like to know where you got it from, I keep looking on m-style website at carbon ones purely to save painting it.

I got my boot spoiler off ebay, came already painted

Very easy to fit, clean the area with the alochol wipe, trial fit by lining up and then remove small amount of backing tape from the double sided tape from one side and press down, remove some more and press down until you get to the end

Those tips look really nice!

YOu can either take off old ones, sand them down and spray them and re attach with double sided 3M tape or buy off ebay gloss black (I did latter)

I want to plastidip the grille, emblem and window trim like this guy: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=671155

Seems easy enough. Only thing is plastidip is out of stock. It always goes out of stock

Yeah it isn't perfect but you could add the plastidip glossifier afterwards. But anything would look better than the current metal i have, its not that nice in places
