Comp Nose Mini-Wrap

RHILE_MAB · 06-14-2020, 09:32 PM

I love the “joined” look of the X5MC, M8C, etc, front grills, and the front camera dot always looked odd to me, so I had the wrap guy match the black gloss of the grills and run it through the center to just under the camera. While he was at it I had him black out the reflectors too, which now look like extra vents, but I figured if I didn’t like them I’d color-match them like the rest of my cars.

Keep the black markers or go to color-keyed?

Love the donnington. Color key those reflectors... Ben or IND can hook you up!

Your joined front grilles look great! I’d like to do this as a DIY! Definitely prefer the reflectors to be paint matched on yours.

Wow very creative, subtle, and clean all at once. Great idea!

Too bad my car has the CF grille pieces. I would have copied this mod. Definitely a cool idea!

Hi, do you have the final pictures of your installed Maxton side skirts? Mind sharing?

I definitely don't mind sharing, but I didn't get a chance to do the full install. I will most likely do it later the coming week...I plan to do my spacers and take pics of that before the side skirts too. I might consider adding the "Joined" mode from the OP

Love it!

I've got Dark Graphite so there is not as much of a noticeable separation - looks awesome on your Donnington Gray.

Personally I like the blacked out reflectors - looks cool on your color.
