So, had the M5 now for 3 months and managed to get some pics of it today after a good wash so I could show you all some of the mods done so far
I wanted to stick with the gloss black theme and remove all chrome from car. RKP front splitter from IND painted gloss black Side wing markers replaced with gloss black versions LCi grilles wrapped in gloss black Grilles treated to the M stripes (not 100% sure about these so may remove?) Rear Valance wrapped in gloss black Carbon exhaust tips from Cyba Door handle chrome trims wrapped in gloss black Roof, fin, roof trims all wrapped in gloss black M5 badge replaced with gloss black one (although it's too big for my liking so that will be swapped for a smaller one soon!) Front windows tinted with a 50% film to blend in with the factory sun protection rears Interior door/dash trim strips replaced with piano black Exhaust Meister switchable flap controller fitted today All the car needs now is a set of darker wheels but am struggling to find a set that fits! Already tried some Vossen CV3 reps and Ispiri ISR6, neither would clear the calipers. I know the Breyton Race fit and can get these in Matt gun but really wanted a 5 spoke concave wheel Anyway, have a look at my pics and welcome your views |

The M5 badge you have on the car now is actually the E60 M5 version.
The F10 M5 badge is the smaller one.

I am struggling tonight to find the smaller version in gloss black so may just spray the stock one with some gloss black plastic-coat and refit it again. |

Looks great, like you I can't make my mind up on the tri colour on the grille.
I have pretty much exactly the same setup, where did you get your handles wrapped, wouldn't mind using someone who knows what there doing Have you not thought about going satin black on your current wheels? |

As thinking of doing them - did you fit them yourself and how long did it take? |

I use the E39 M5 rear trunk badge which is similar to the e60 one. Car looks great.

Love your car. Very nice job. I do agree with you on those stripes in the grill. Looks M3-ish.

As to the wheels, have you considered painting the OEMs rather than replacing them? If so, try Lepsons - based in Gillingham, Kent, however, they are used by some of the pro-detailers. http://www.lepsons.com/standard-colours |
