has anyone tried this? i was just curious if anyone knew what size i would need for my 135? what colour is the fin on the m3 cf or black?

Whether its real carbon fiber or a wrap, it would look sick. Especially if you get cf aero parts like the rear diffuser and splitters, kidney grilles, hood and trunk lids.

Does look good for real.

Mineo77 and I both did black vinyl, not CF vinyl. Gives the car a different depth perspective when you look at it, breaking up the solid paint color. Definitely sick!

LOL. Dumb. This is Chris McAllister's M6 per Carbon Fiber Film's website. Why would an M6 wanna be like an M3?

Can the fin be wrapped or would I have to buy a black fin from BMW?

Wrapping the fin may cause reception problems?? It would also be a PITA to wrap considering the shape.

Most people paint the fin

i think the CF vinyl looks sick on the roof in the pic above... i also think it would look nice on the diffuser and mirrors but have have a hard time holding up to debris on the roads... im going to look into all of this.

Here are some pics of Oli's (Spector88)120d painted roof. His car isn't AW but...

taken on a rainy day...

I own a bodyshop...it's funny I found this thread. Im going to be painting my roof black on my aw 135i. I will post pics when done....and tell you guys what I did.

Dackelone · 04-07-2011, 05:29 PM

Yea... Oli had his car's roof painted by body shop. It really did not cost much more than a good wrap job. 400 euros I think. I know I got a quote of 330 euros to wrap my roof in 3M's DiNoc film. I got cold feet though.

Teufelhunde (cool name btw!) I hope you take lots of pics. I also enjoyed your post about the rear CF install tips.
