Don't get me wrong, I love Belfast but I've never seen so many rude boy cars in my life!
Around Lurgan was especially bad.

Although from what I've seen in my time in NI it wouldn't look out of place even if you painted flames down the side and added a spoiler.

It doesnt matter where you come from, theres always bad parts of that country. Im very fortunate to live in one of the better areas though.

Why a 'monster' sticker though?

My mate had one and stuck it on my rear window for a laugh, i actually liked it so just kept it on lol

Dont worry, its only a small one

It appears the monster stickers are in at the mo, my friend has just painted the logo on a supra. Enjoy the mods, I think this could look ok.

Im 22 mate, Ive always had expensive cars from when i started driving at 18 and i modified them tastefully, i have pics of the cars to prove this. This being my first BMW i just want it to look a little different from the rest of the e90s on the road here, its rare to see a modified e90 here, the majority of them are standard.

It seems that if you dont follow the crowd like a sheep i.e. dull, safe colours, you become an outcast on here. I havent put a huge dopey bodykit on the car or painted the wheels a ludacris colour, its only a bit of paint on the calipers to give the car a bit of attitude.

It is really refreshing to find someone who can see modifying from a younger person's perspective

The other 5% are 14-22 year old spotty oiks and they'll love it but I don't think you really want to attract that crowd.

Its common knowledge that BMWs arent liked very much because of their 'well-to-do' status, little things like having to wait a long time in a queue before someone will be courteous enough to let me pull out. Moreso i notice this because im young, driving a BMW, a lot of people are envious and disapprove.

You don't become an "outcast" but to paint those tiny little 320d calipers a bright colour to try and make them look like 6-pot Brembos is sad. Just tidy them by painting them silver / aluminium - don't try and make them what they're not.

[Sir_Pigley]

I think purple on the front ones and orange on the back would look good

I had blacklines, Black grill and some 19" BBS on my 320D - I wasn't an outcast.

Oh dear

Time for some Jinjur love in the house to save a fellow NI member.



Fuck Green

Fuck Yellow




Anthracite FTW like my poor little vandalised Bonk

Looks nicely standard and hides the shite better than plain ol black the booring caaaaaaaaaaants on here use.

I fucking tried to help you

And you threw it back in my face

In my fucking face!


<MOVIE MODE>

Fuck you man

Fuck youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

</MOVIE MODE>


If you even THINK of painting calipers on a black BMW green or yellow, then there is quite clearly something amiss inside your head. Something quite major.

Seriose.

I did mine gunmetal for the plain fact that they look standard, clean, rust free and way better than black. I did try black by the way.....it actually stood out too much.

And Carabuser, "You can't say black is boring then suggest anthracite! Nobody would ever notice anthracite.".......ex-fucking-actly.
