Aussie do you have any clear pictures of the back calipers with the stickers on and what clear spray did you use ?

Cheers

Only pics I have mate, maybe one of the other guys could take a shot or 2 for you when they fit, as for the spray, I just used a automotive lacquer I picked up from Halfords....

Cool, thanks

Finally got it from ebay and the handcraft took me just 15 mins.
It came from 8 stickers exactly same as OP have. I only put 2 small ///Ms on the front and left the rear bone stock.
At first I didn’t realize the trick that the bottom of the M sticker mapped with the edge of calliper so I totally ruined the first one. But at the end of the day, it looks great I think..
I don't know how long it could be hold but time will tell..

Sorry for the OT question...but is that the stock wheel color? Seems darker slightly in those pictures...

No they are hyper black... it was mentioned in his Polar Bear thread

Figured I'll give folks an update as there was some speculation how these will wear with time: 6+ months later, and stickers look as the day I put them on. No sign of wear, coming undone, or any blemish/discoloration.

LOL how many months did your car sit undriven though? Havent you been in another state all this time!!

same here and they have been through 100+ Texas heat and several track weekends. had them on since April and as ///M1 said... no fading, blemishes, peeling, etc... they look as good as they did the day I put them on.

Ha ha, not quite, need that tax residency so been spending a good amount of time there actually. I'd say I have a good 5K miles in those 6 months, some pretty bad torrential downpours, and have put some heat in those brakes on many of occasions

Mine have been fitted since Dec and done over 6k miles and still looking good even after numerous washes cleaning the wheels and calipers with a wheel brush......

I am skeptical because this is what is possible to have the stickers in the sense mirror opposite? this is what I want ..
because, in a sense, M is down and in the other direction M is up ... and I like it. is it possible to have the M always starts from the top but in the same direction ... I do not know if you understood ..

[Sheil]

Hey RPM, if you did it that way, the ///M would be mirrored into M\\\ and it wouldn't be "true" BMW. On the new M5 the M is always facing up but on left side of the car the bottom of the M is facing the rotors and on the right side the top of the M is facing the rotors:

Just check out the M6 forum, those guys there are going nuts as to why BMW applied the M logo the 'wrong' way on the driver's side. LOL

I have to agree with them, feels off. In fact, even BMW isn't being consistent as far as the direction, as any calipers that have text on them (e.g. BMW Performance"), are the opposite way (i.e. opposite what you see on the M5/M6). Go figure...

Alike inside the engine bay: the "Powered by BMW M" text, the black "BMW" lettering and the BMW roundel: they had to choose a direction. Maybe they just just tossed a coin for the final decision: "Call it, friendo".

Does it stop better?
