starting some mods!

[rlemek]

Ok... I am beginning to get bored. Time to start mods. I began with Black grills. then decided while figuring what set of Vossen's and what lowering kit I want, i'd paint the rims black.. loving the look till I get that figured out. I also have been working with a bud on wraps and thinking of wrapping the roof and back piece coming off the roof in carbon! if that goes well..... I may start getting crazy lol here are some pics. sorry for how dirty the car is I should be ashamed! the tint is 5% all the way around and tinted the front amber reflectors.

Carbon wrapped roof would be a nice touch. I've been considering the same. Love that dark blue colour. CF accents might set it off nicely. You know you'll have to do mirror caps and front lip next right? :-)

Haha! I know! I was thinking of trying the mirrors as well and if they don't turn out well just buy the ones from BMW as well as the front lip!

I want to do the front lip and mirror caps...gonna look good with the contrast on my mineral white.

Yea, that will look amazing! I was thinking (as much as i love CB Metallic) if i like how the wrap comes out i would wrap the whole car in a Frozen space gray color to set off all the other parts... But we will see haha

Ah the modding bug...its a sickness! Enjoy man!

Wouldn't change a thing. Your ride is already super awesome. But it would be nice to see if some carbon parts work with the overall look.

Thanks! Definitely looking forward to seeing some of the carbon on there Thanks

I would change out the fake lower grills to a real mesh grill.

Awesome car, bro! Finally, a modder after my own heart, haha! Frozen Grey wrap would be so sick!! I have seen so many nice BMW's with that color, and it's absolutely gorgeous. Please show us your wheel choice so we can give you solid feedback. I noticed your kidney grills seem like a flat black. Is there a reason you didn't go for the high gloss? I thought they flowed better with metallic paint. Just curious - great job, buddy. Looking forward to more pics/updates

Thanks Man! your is Awesome!!! I did matte Black because I thought it would be cool with the frozen Grey if i decided to go with it! I am really waiting for the X5 M dbl slatted grills to come out and change to them! Ill post a couple picks of the rims I am thinking of! And thanks for your feedback!

I was originally planning to go with these in 22"s.. Thoughts?

Ah, nice! The CV3s! I think those would look sick with your current paint, but even better with the Frozen Grey wrap. I found an e93 with Space Grey (I don't think it's frozen paint because I see some gloss in the reflection), but it has the CV3s in your color choice and it looks fantastic:





I think Frozen Grey would look even better with those Matte wheels.

This is the closest thing I could find to a Frozen Grey on an SUV (X6):





I personally think the new Chrome Shadow color looks amazing:

carbon black is amazing!

my opinion i would go with silver or gunmetal color rims so it stands out more.

Thanks!!!! Gotta represent! :-)

You should cover the rear reflectors up with tint film to complete the look. I love how the black looks blue under the sun.

I concur on swapping the fake grille to real ones. I'm having that done to mine next week.

X5 looks great. Those rims are a great choice as well. Please post pics when you get them.
