Black roof

[kabal]

so I finally had my black roof done. This was done in vinyl, by a company called WrapMaster, saw some pics of a X5 they wrapped in lime green, and a 430 spyder in matt black.

and then total coincidence, I go away from the weekend, and this is our driveway

looking good man.
nice collection you got there too

looks wicked! Ever thought of getting a spare set of rearview mirror housings and going Satin Chrome? I think it will finish it off nicely ;-)

black roof looks awesome loving it

 

[kabal]

not really one for chrome, or looking like an audi :spit:

once I get black grills and side grills, and S&G done, I might look into getting the mirrors in black.

this car pulls it off magnificently

Looks great man, now you just need to koki pen your sharkfin black as well

is this really an option????? I was thinking of whipping out the newspaper, tape, and spray paint (not sure how it would stick though, tough to sand gloss plastic)

just get a carbon fin from revo...the old one can be easily removed...don't ask me ask him :thinker:

ummm... Satin Chrome - as in the Mirror "Black" Finish as you get on the M-Sport models? This pic epitomises my thoughts ;-)

 

[kabal]

I just googled satin chrome, hence my reply, lol

@645Nm I was reading around that taking the fin off is a real bitch, and they all said just leave it on and wrap around it ????

looks awesome kabal, a-la CSL

black roof is FTW.

But i think you really should do the fin, Just get that company to wrap it for you.


Are you ordering the black out grills..?? IM also debating about that...wouldnt mind splitting the shipping costs...

 

[Hellas]

Kabal, have you considered maybe wrapping (or painting) the gutter covers too? Just to take the black right up to the edge of the roof.

 

[kabal]

@Nukleuz. might get the fin wrapped, but dont really want any seams visible, so I might just sharpie it black, if it turns out kak, get a CF one.
Re the grills/gills, def wanna get them. been looking at this combo, http://www.stealthauto.com/Products/E46-M3--Black-Grill-and-Gill-Combo-(99-06)__BME-E46BGG-COMB.aspx, and for $100, not bad at all. totally keen to split shipping, and the inevitable duties. let me know if you keen, and I will get them to give me a shipping quote.

@Hellas, yah, I might get some more and do the gutters myself, shoudnt be too tough.

:thumbsup: Looks really good man. Now you need a set of black wheels. Does it come off easily when you want it to?

 

[mahinder-suresh]

Good job, looks neat bud!

 

[1two5guy]

Wow looks nice! Car will look hot once you've done everything else.

If I may ask... How much did the roof job set you back?
