and so it begins, no clips damaged taking the panels off

cannockwolf · 07-04-2023, 10:33 AM

YES! This is perfect (for me) couldn't be more happier.

He didnt paint the sensor saying he was worried it would cause errors so im going to try a vinyl (i have a very very close match) and test that theory out, but this feels just so right for me

Looks awesome!

P_Chris · 07-04-2023, 10:52 AM

Looks amazing.

Pentland · 07-04-2023, 01:23 PM

I’m happy for you mate but as I said earlier, it now looks bland(er). It’s a shame you can’t get the side blades the F30s had and that would carry the dark line of the front lip around the car.
Keep doing the mods tho - we can’t all like them all!

(May be it would look better without that horrendous illegal plate

)

That looks great! This was one of the main reasons I got black, but wow does the car pop in grey with the full paint job.

funny you should say that i think so too and i have been looking to see if theres a way to make that happen but nothing is available, even looked at modding stuff to fit but nothing suitable

A little quality of life mod

JoeyJoeJo · 07-05-2023, 07:25 AM

The colour coded trim isn't for me but I think it's great *you've* done what *you* want to do and full respect for it.
A lot of "modded" cars in forums go very cookie cutter (not so much this one) and there's almost a recipe to follow.
All credit to you

Spot on mate

blueshead · 07-05-2023, 09:35 AM

I always said that this would make the car - and you just proved me right!!!

Particularly the rear view which now looks balanced and overall just looks fantastic!!
Think you and me are from the same era where the "sporty" models would have the colour coded mirrors and bumpers and the "luxury" models would have black or a contrasting colour. I have always preferred the body colour look and the carbon (or black) diffuser and side wings are just the right amount of contrast for me. As others have mentioned, its part of the reason I went with SB.

The cars perfect for me now too mate and if I had a different colour I would seriously be looking at doing the same!

BTW your "quality of life" mod is just genius!

Mind you, Pentland might have something re your plate though

..........and now that I mention it, the M Performance logos too

Please explain this mod to me because I must be missing something.
