Awesome pick up! I remember that's just how mine looked when I first got it haha.

welcome to the club

SO is awesome.

3thirty5 · 02-25-2018, 01:07 PM

Thanks guys, I think one of the first thing I'm gonna do is wrap the roof in gloss back. Black grills and side vents are already here, just have to wait until is not -10 outside so I can install them.

Welcome to the club. Congrats on the car, great color!! I love how it looks. Mine is waiting for temps to warm up as well to install some carbon fiber goodies.

theinfamousdrew · 02-27-2018, 06:07 AM

Congrats!
Love the color too!

3thirty5 · 02-27-2018, 02:18 PM

Thanks guys! I really do love the color, but the one thing that bothers me are the blue brake calipers, it really clashes with the SO. Has anyone had success painting these while retaining the M logo?

I agree and HATE our rear calipers. But a buddy with a SO M4 had a shop paint his to match.

Nice, I like that!

Painting calipers is very easy; I’ve done it on several cars and you can buy the stickers on eBay.

Wouldn't the sticker just melt from the heat of the caliber?

Does not melt; sticker is made to withstand heat. It should also have clear sprayed over it to ensure protection from the elements. I’ve done this many times w/ no issues.

My friend with an M5 recently had the factory blue sprayed to a copper orange color and it looks great.
