E46 - Cosmetic Changes

[OppositeLockMT]

Got a little bored (again) of the look of my car over the past month or so so I decided it was time for a change (albeit subtle). Went ahead and powder coated the wheels black, never liked the idea of it but it turned out great IMO :fencelook:

Re did the grilles black and added the M Stripes:

And just as a refference, this is what the car looked like 2 years ago:

That looks fantastic! Damn I love your car! and the black and white contrast is such a winning combination. You could really finish her off with a gloss black vinyl roof wrap. I think that will make her absolutely stunning. BTW, have you got a thread or thread link on how you made your external body trim white? I would really like to do that one day! regarding the rims, they look 1000 times better in powder coated black! I must admit though, I am not a fan of the rim style and I think your car would look best on a set of powder coated black 18" CSL Reps. Slap a 6 speed manual box in your car and I think, in my opinion, youd have one of the best Non-M E46's in the country.

Appreciate the positive comments guys :thumbs:

@Zound, thanks bud. The style 56s currently on the car weren't exactly my first choice but anything was better than the steelies that were on before! Been trying to get hold of a set of 18s but I've been holding off in order to save a bit cash in order to do preventative maintenance.

Unfortunately didnt put up a thread about how the trim was painted, but the trim was removed from the car and sanded down and the colour matched, took years off the car IMO but mine is prone to chipping.

@Coldfusion Part of my goody bag that I got from eBay, just a sticker!
