Inexpensive way to dress up your M5

If you have a heat gun and you have worked with wrap before you can do this. Buy Di-noc 1080. Its very pliable under heat. The rear diffuser comes off pretty easily.

Interesting, how difficult is it to remove the Di-noc if you want to undo?

Very easy, especially if you have a blow dryer or heat gun (heat gun works better). It won't leave any marks or glue residue either.

Have you tried wrapping the interior trim to have a M6 look?

How about wrapping the front grills, side vents, & the chrome trim on door handle ? This is what I have in mind, but not sure if it works.

Front and sides not worth the trouble IMO ... Chrome door handles are very easy.

I notice a bit of uneven waviness to the pattern. Is this due to the heat and stretching or is this how the pattern comes? BTW, great idea for a cost effective mod.

Well executed. This is something I usually see on imports for the teenage crowd, but doesn't look too bad

I suppose maybe some stretching occurred but its really not noticeable in person. I didn't notice it until I saw the pics.

I did this for not only reasons of aesthetics. The door handle trim had to be done. I did not want any chrome on the car. The B pillars have that glossy black look to them. Well, they also get scratched very easily or passengers always get their fingerprints on them. So, I put this stuff on there because it protects, looks nice, and does not show fingerprints.

That looks like the stuff. I cannot read the description. I was told by a friend that the "1080" is more pliable and I agree. I have always purchased it off of ebay. I don't know if people will ship the product to your country.

Standard size is 50cm x 152cm , then you go in 50 cm increments... 100 x 152 , 150 x 152 and so on...

A heat gun is basically a Blow dryer (that thing women use to dry their hair for hours and hours) but it blows way hotter. They are inexpensive and they have many applications. You can use a blow dryer too. Keep in mind that if you get the stuff too hot it will warp and change shape so be careful and get a feel for how this stuff works.

Good luck and feel free to ask any questions

Here is 'an example' http://www.lowes.com/pd_43582-97-050...gun&facetInfo=

However, it would be important to know the specific heat range needed for the material as that will dictate the gun purchased (different heat guns/different heat ranges/settings)

Otherwise, it can be a bit risky (for the wrap and the material).
