A few cosmetic changes to start

mccandless · 04-09-2014, 06:31 PM

I made a few changes over the winter while the car was parked in the garage.
New tires and Apex Arc8 wheels.
Gloss black spoiler
Gloss black front grill
Black Vinyl wrap window trim
CF wrapped interior trim
Custom red gauges
Red BMW emblems
and a good polish and wax job

Here are some before and after shots

Love it! Did you do the dash yourself? Looks boss.

Not a fan of the red gauges, but nice job overall

Chandon · 04-09-2014, 10:09 PM

That's a massive change. I LOVE the red cluster, how'd you do it?

I was experimenting with some new gauge designs over the winter. I actually ended up selling a few, mostly to forum members. Helped pay for some of the parts.

Here is the gauge thread link.

looks great. You should get the alcantara central trim for the steering wheel. It would help complete the look removing those silver accents and goes well with the carbon wrap

Yup, it's on my list along with the alcantara shift boot and hand brake boot.
A black front lip will probably be next when i pick which one i like.

Changing the BMW roundels to red and white is sacrilege.

It was cheaper than painting the car blue to match the logo

But that would've been the better choice.
