This looks awesome! I am going to do the same thing with mine...if you don't mind sharing, what did the painting of the trims and metal in the rear run you?

Ok , based on this thread, I decided to do some changes to my bmw xline g05 as well. I never felt 100% sure of my purchase because somehow I felt that it was lacking some sportiness.
So I decided to wrap all the silver parts to gloss black and bought the 21"rims orbit grey. (by default it had 20")
Im just missing the colour match and the exhaust tips but overall, im super happy with the result

What do you guys think?

Hi.

No, I went to a car garage and they did the job. They used a product called Xpel Ultimate Plus. Its gloss black and honestly it looks like a normal paint job. It loos amazing .
I paid like $600 for wrapping all silver and aluminium parts ( the xline has a lot)

Here is the link https://www.xpel.com/shop/paint-prot.../ultimate-plus

Did your inner grill have silver tips? If so, how did you black them out so the entire grill assembly was black?

I have a new grill on order, but the inner part still have some silver that I wont want there.

Thank you for posting this. I have some gloss black vinyl laying around from my M3 and have been considering covering those silly front grill fins.

This looks great and I'll be trying my wrapping skills soon.
