Another try to capture Brilliant White...

jmh · 05-05-2013, 09:22 AM

In my quest to capture the depth and appearance of Brilliant White I must have taken hundreds of pictures , also had a friend take a few yesterday at the unveiling of the new Aston Martin Vanquish in Boston (http://www.flickr.com/photos/leemik/...7633408542913/)

Hopefully in the coming weeks we'll find a decent backdrop/location for more pictures

Ready to go...

Well, well done. The wheel finish with the polished lip is my favorite, versus all black or all polished, the drop gives it a serious look and the interior is just right. Is that the BMW Performance steering wheel? Really ups the looks on the interior finish.

hsiaochinsan · 05-05-2013, 11:50 AM

Well done. Love the look and hre. Any pic from the rear?

ThisFlyGuy · 05-05-2013, 12:26 PM

sick car and great mods!

RPiM5 · 05-05-2013, 12:28 PM

Now that is a sexy beast.

Also cool thing you did with the Bang and Olufsen speaker covers. You notice any difference in sound quality??

wisesoul · 05-05-2013, 12:56 PM

Well done..Your car is what car car wishes it looked like.

stealth.pilot · 05-05-2013, 01:01 PM

Great pics but still not capturing the brilliant white. It's really hard to capture the pearl effect of that paint.

Bokke · 05-05-2013, 01:28 PM

Well done!

Vic55 · 05-05-2013, 02:20 PM

Looks great.... any reason why you went with Pzeros instead of the OEM PSS's which are arguably better.

bmellion · 05-05-2013, 03:38 PM

what did IND charge you for the engine cover painted? I like that!

Yep this is the ///M Performance steering wheel for the F10 , the M5 is not listed but it does fit the M5 without a problem. You just need to move the wiring, buttons and if you have driver assistance also the little motor inside the steering wheel for the lane departure warning. Everything else is plug and play.
You will loose the steering wheel heating though .

I'll see if I can get something in the coming days . There might be something in my Flickr set at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jmh-pic...7631711463454/

Yes , but I did not only modify the grills

, each grill takes appr one day to modify (even after making all the required molds/forms) so it's not really an option for the "sane"

I have a longer write up and detailed pics at

Yes it is very difficult. In real life it's a very interesting color as it changes in every light.
Just very hard to capture in a picture.

Yep , the Michelin PSS are not available in 305/30/20

, at least not in the US .
One can buy them in Canada and I plan to purchase a set there and have it shipped to me. No idea why they're sold in Canada but not here.

This is how you capture brilliant white (Individual E60 M5).

This is how you capture Frozen Grey (Individual E60 M5).

hinckley · 05-06-2013, 12:24 PM

I've seen jmh's car and think it's impossible to capture the glistening snow-flake like effect of the paint. You've just got to see it. It's really beautiful.

Nate@IND · 05-06-2013, 01:18 PM

Was waiting to see photos with the new RKP lip installed

Nice to see you back in the states. Enjoy the Beast and the nice weather that is on the way.

I'll get some better pics of the lip. You also got me thinking now with the molded lip

, maybe something for the OEM front bumper to consider....

Now I have to think of new things to do so you guys don't get bored

Btw everyone so far loves your engine cover !!

ONO5OH · 05-06-2013, 02:43 PM

Looks damn good, beautiful car.

@jmh The engine cover isn't brilliant white is it?

I wish you could see the molded RKP in person

I'm happy to hear about the feedback on the painted manifold.
