White Plasti Dip Winter Set?

Hey guys! I wanted an opinion... For winter I was thinking about doing something a little different. I have a pre lci black sapphire metallic 328xi with the 159 wheels. Would it look weird to Plasti dip my wheels, mirror covers, and kidneys white? Has anyone done anything similar to this before?

I'd keep them black, white will stand out too much on black IMO.

I say NO

White plastidip gets very dirt and very hard to clean. There is no saving the 159. i dont think it will look good.

I have my window trim plasti-dipped white.

White gets dirty pretty quickly, but with plasti-dip you can at least remove it fairly quickly if you don't like the results.

You should do what you like though, at least that's the benefit of plasti-dip.

Thanks for all of the advice guys! Definitely nothing permanent but figured I'd try something out there for winter... I guess thats my inner Audi owner talking to me lol! Those dub guys get you thinking weird. But yeah i was thinking mainly the centers of the PRE-LCI grills white and the outline in black... but who knows I'll probably just keep it stock if white plasti dip gets dirty easily. I can't stand a dirty car.

Just can't wait for the weather to get back to normal so I can order my v701s
