Thanks for the info and links GTF...I like the tray and cargo liner - thanks for posting!

Has anyone done anything like this yet? Either changed or painted them?

Looks like it was wrapped. That's the impression I get. Something doesn't seem right. I don't see the bolts coming up. Is this photoshopped. I just cleaned mine yesterday.

Right, Photoshopped to get the idea across, couldn't find any replacements via web searches. Figured by now someone would have done something, they stand out in the engine bay.

Looks neat.

Links below...

GTF, curious, which color is that Lloyd's Cargo Mat, is it the "Euro Grey" or "Dark Grey" Ultimat? Really like the look and a carpeted cargo mat. Seems to be a fairly good color match to the cargo area trim.

Color was Black....lighting may have made it look a bit lighter. Got same black for the front mats (which look/fit great). The rear mats are a one-piece mat, which I didn't like going over the small rear "hump" as well as the two-piece, but that's what is available.

This was today. First time doing something like this. Used the wet method. Harder than implied by instructions and really no particularly good YouTube videos out there, but the learning cycle is rapid, I was an "expert" by the 4th foil (of 6) :-). I think it will end up being fine, but let's leave this here as preview and if it doesn't fall off in a week and survives a car wash, I'll post more details and better pics.

I installed this on my car in Dec 2018, holding up really well including car washes and detailing...don't worry about it.

NICE DYI!

Well, the foils didn't fall off the first day, so a couple of better pics :-)

Wow looking good no great!!!!!!

[LexxM3]

Ok, last couple of black-on-white adjustments added and the last (and likely most dramatic) step left todo is black wheels. Can you tell what the last couple of updates are?

Front side markers are now white and your mirrors are now black along with your door handles. Did I pass the test?

Yap, perfect (LOL, edit to remove the exclamation point after the animated bow icon — that did NOT look right, use your imagination).

I just scored some mint black winter rims today that fit over M Sport brakes and just need 10-15mm spacers for the front (to clear the steering arm) and maybe 25mm for the rears (for position). Last major piece left is 21" or 22" black summer rims ... and tires for both sets.

wow they look so cool!
Where did you buy them from and how much?

I've got a black X5, but i think it will look okay since there is a grey tone to it

This is the BMW Performance Frozen Decal (aka Foil) BMW part number: 51-14-2-456-383. I bought it from my dealer at order in April and received with delivery in May (installed myself in July). Not sure where you can get it in Australia, but I would guess your dealer as well.

There was someone on the forum that had put it on a dark car. Here is the post: https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...php?p=24489938

If you/someone wants to install themselves, there are a couple of techniques/tricks that make this work well, PM as I don't have time or pics for a decent DIY post.

Reviving this old thread. There is one like this on the M3 forums and hoping we can keep this one going in the similar manner. Always fun to see what new mods or things people are doing to or with their vehicles.

Got some IND goodies installed on mine today. Gloss black Roundel, gloss black lettering, , paint matched rear reflectors, and paint matched rear wiper black cover.

The iPhone is making the Java Green show up a bit more neon green than in real life. 😂 Although it isn’t too far off…

Added netting to stop crap from moving around.

Also added the side cover with velcros for some more useable storage space in the trunk.
