135i , Should it be done?

[Ybechan28]

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)

Looks good dude, also think about satin black kidney grills.

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

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

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 raise:

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:
