They charge you for that? I have the badges and was gonna have my PPF guy do it, but if the dealer would do it on pickup I might as well do that…

just checked its not cracked it must be a reflection

MPR · 06-07-2023, 10:40 AM

Maybe it's just a reflection, it looks like a crack for sure in the one pic, though

LivingInSalt · 06-07-2023, 10:52 AM

yep! you can see it follows the curve of the steering wheel

@[cannockwolf] I was going to get these paddles — are they carbon on plastic, or on black aluminium?

XC3LLR8 · 06-07-2023, 12:03 PM

Another option is the Madtrace magnetic paddle shifters in carbon or aluminum. They're a lot of fun when driving a little aggressive.

Below is a video of me in the middle of the install...

I looked at these and they look lovely but too clicky metallic sounding it would annoy me to use them, these ones are quieter than standard, perfect for me

cannockwolf · 06-07-2023, 12:12 PM

My wife hates them

but when I'm feeling aggressive enough to want to drive in manual they really come into their element. I think they come from Formula 1.

Yup. Even the video was irritating enough for the few seconds it ran

rockblock · 06-07-2023, 05:13 PM

Experimenting.. Took the red calipers as baseline and trying to see if "discretely" breaking the black makes a difference... Since it's vinyl, it's an easy removal. Let me know what you think

AWcoupe · 06-07-2023, 05:14 PM

I guess technically I didn't do anything to the car but....BMW Financial Services...You've been TERMINATED!!

Wow that trunk lip looks perfect. Digging the look all around. Nice work.

rockblock · 06-07-2023, 05:22 PM

Yea, I like how the rear spoiler blends with the lights and reflectors... if I end up getting a front lip, I may wrap that up in red, but it may be overkill... You can go nuts and get away with black if your car is red, but not the other way around... Need some discretion

rockblock · 06-07-2023, 05:25 PM

And the Quad Tips are actually black carbon, not sure why they show as grey in pic
