This is what I plan:
Change alloys to satin black (in between matt and gloss) through powder coating
Front grille chrome border goes to gloss black (vinyl wrap)
Side grille to carbon fibre (vinyl wrap)
Side mirrors (top half - body coloured) to carbon fibre (vinyl wrap)
Rear diffuser to carbon fibre (vinyl wrap)
I am not sure what to do with the chrome inserts in the door handles, if I go for gloss black it will be different to mirror and side vent and I am not sure carbon fibre would look nice there. Shall I leave it as it is for contrast?
Later on I plan to change the exhaust to black but leaving it for now.
I have seen lot of pictures online but sometimes it is different seeing it in person and I am looking to hear from people who have seen similar job on a MC blue M5 or even got the job done on their own car.
Attaching couple of pics of my car as it is now. Will share more after the work is complete.
Look forward to hear from you folks to help me decide. Cheers

I would vinyl wrap the chrome inserts in blue to match the MCB and possibly the front / rear deflectors as well.
Beautiful car; post some pictures when done.
Good luck! |
Thanks mate. I will keep this post updated as I get the work done.
