new cosmetics

Hey all,

just thought i would put up some pictures of todays endeavours. Spent early afternoon at a vinyl workshop and had a gloss black vinyl layer attached to my roof, rails and fin. PROvinyl.com.au did the job for me, in Rosebery. looks like they did a good job to me

Immediately after that, headed over to Stu (bmroxm5) @ BMR Autowerks in Rhodes where he supplied and installed a kerscher lip for me. Shout out to a great guy, highly recommended for all sydney-siders. Also supplied and installed my eibach pro-kit springs

anyway, here are the pics! sorry, only had the iPhone. car definitely needs a wash.

Lookin good...

Do you mind if I ask what the roof cost?

BMW86 · 02-01-2012, 06:32 AM

+ 1 on costs?

Did he supply the vinyl too?

I've ordered vinyl from overseas twice and both times it's come through with hardcore creases

Btw, looks fantastic.

hey guys, it was 300 for roof, fin and rails. great price. they supply as well, i think you'll find on the website they have a store.

Harlequin · 02-01-2012, 06:53 AM

Man... I've been tossing up doing that for a while now and that price is making it look pretty attractive...

Now just need to find someone in Brisbane who will do something comparable...

BMW86 · 02-01-2012, 06:53 AM

Thanks for the info Chris. These pics have won me over. Looks fantastic

Do you happen to know which brand vinyl they used on your car?

RaihaX · 02-01-2012, 07:08 AM

They used the "hexis" brand. I had the option of the 3M and the hexis (not sure the specific model of the brand). I ended up choosing the hexis because side by side it seemed a little glossier, and the guys there told me it was a little more durable and contour friendly. that and it was a little cheaper.

hey Chriss cars looking good mate! it now almost looks like Alex's car from (MoonLight Detailing lol)

did you see Stu 120d??? lol

Smiley1175 · 02-02-2012, 05:55 AM

That looks great.
You know I think getting your wheels done black would really finish it off.

chrisN · 02-02-2012, 06:39 AM

ahaha yeah I've seen stu's "120d," she's a darling

black wheels are definitely in the future; I'm partial to something black with a chrome lip.

dlai · 02-02-2012, 08:15 AM

Car looks crazy good! Btw, for those doing DIYing with the roof, it looks like a bitch to do! haha gl

Eddie135 · 02-02-2012, 03:15 PM

Anyone can recommend any good vinyl roof wrap in Melbourne?

Thanks.

Zuzu · 02-02-2012, 03:48 PM

Thats not a bad price for the roof..

I got quoted by a Sydney company $450 for CF wrap on my M roof.. Still undecided.
