Oh, and my wheels were PC'd gloss. Looks like yours are satin.

Twinsies for sure!!

I like the removed badge, makes the rear much cleaner. I only kept mine to keep it factory but whenever i look at the rear it reminds me just how obnoxious it is.. I really dont know what BMW design team is thinking.. they must all drive honda type-r's

I cant wait for Acexxon rear bumper side inserts to clean up the rear a bit more, i'm sure you feel the same.

Is that a wrap or paint?

I haven't been a fan of the star spokes, but they look really good in your pics against carbon black.

Love the car. Looks so menacing in black. Nice mud flaps too

Those are a life saver on a road like that.

Thanks for the inspiration. I made them the week after your post showing how you did it. They work great. I only wish I made them sooner to save 6 months worth of paint damage (fortunately only minor chips but I'm OCD and they bother me).

Glad i could help.

I too didn't install them for 800 miles and my doors already had some paint chips which was what prompted me to get them done asap.

Can you share the post AlanI did about the mud flaps?

hybrid_eg · 08-13-2021, 03:25 PM

Yes, i could use some as well given i'm running 25mm spacers

Finally got to take pictures after a fresh wash and loaded with carpro reload. Last weekend I coated with Graphene but added the reload after the first wash for extra slickness and a topper.

kyrocks · 08-22-2021, 11:45 AM

That looks really nice!

Mo2002 · 08-23-2021, 08:08 PM

nice! Reload def makes the blue pop. I have reload on mines as well and I recently washed it with hydro2 foam and it's amazing how the blue shines in the FL sun.

Alan l. · 08-24-2021, 10:02 AM

I have Cquartz UK on mine and what I found out is that over time it actually makes the MBB a slightly deeper blue color. I only found out because i had to polish random areas of the car to remove minor swirls and noticed that the areas that i just machine polished (removed the cquartz) the color was different. Slightly lighter shade of blue. I ended up re polishing the entire panel then reapplied cquartz so it looked uniform.

Mo2002 · 08-24-2021, 08:58 PM

I noticed the same after my car was coated with cquartz professional. Amazing what these coatings can do
