So my car has stayed stock for a month and i've loved every second of it but its time for change :rollsmile: , was thinking of doing this to my car and i'd love some feedback from you guys :thumbs: didn't have any other photos to edit and used ms paint so apologies :thumbdo:

How it looks now

What I might do to it(Gloss black front valance, gloss black roof , Gloss black kidney grill surrounds and park gloss black mirrors)

Most people do a full black grill , I'm just gonna do the surrounds like this (minus the m stripes)

Black on white looks awesome, also do the grills, do you have a Bootlid spoiler? If so do that too!

Trying to find a cf spoiler is easier said than done in Durban and most stores are out of stock , if you guys know if anyone is selling , let me know :ty: but for now i'll make the oem lip spoiler black

Do it. I would do the whole mirror though. And personally wouldn't wrap the roof but it's your car so do what you think looks best!

I'm still deciding on whether to do a tint or not , your car looks pretty sick with the tints though :praise:

I took some inspiration from this and not many people do a black roof so its a bit of personal touch and thanks for the feedback man :ty: , also i've decided to do the mirrors completely gloss black

Looks great :) Just wondering if the tints make the light a lot less visible?

Did you do a proper tint or go with lamin-x?

Sorry I didn't reply to your PM, been tied up with work.

Here's some pics of my 125i you asked for. Imho, if you have a sun roof, it's a bit of a waste to wrap the roof as it's such a small area.

Hope this helps.

Another idea is to do a tii stripe in matte black

Not a fan of the tii stripe on a normal msport, would be best on a car with the full tii areo kit and performance rims.

its very easy clean the tail lights with soap ,dry so no water

how I tackled the DIY I used a heat gun I am sure a hairdryer is adequate , start from the vendor and work in to the number plate I did not tuck the lamin-x in at all wrap the lights and about 3-5 cm on body work when you get to the boot you can open the boot to wrap straight on the bracket I stretched the wrap a lot for a tighter finish and used a stanely blade to cut out the reverse lights part (clear ) will load a better pic for you as that one is blurry

20 min job

my buddy went to boksburg flea market paid R600 those gents there did it for him but I don't trust them with a blade near my car :hammerhead:

also wrap the center back light finishes the look in my opinion
