Looks awesome, I did it red on my red 350Zback in the days and my 1er is waiting for it also, just like the brake upgrade

BTW. Why your exhaust tips sticks out so much????

IMHO White isn't the best idea for a black car,
yellow, orange even red would look much better than white

Thanks. I have an earlier version of BMW perf exhaust. At some point I will be getting the perf diffuser so they won't stick out as much.

Hmm, could be risky, it may not set off correctly on the car and may draw your eyes constantly to the brakes taking away from the rest of the car.

oh sorry, couldn't tell

yellow & black is better bro, it'll standout more

I asked the shop that did the work about the potential of doing the tii style and he just about crapped himself. It would have added 1.5 times the amount of time and effort and there was a risk of quality. I understand the vision but it may not be practical to execute. Good luck, I hope you can pull it off.

You lost me irish, whats the difference between your brakes and Tii style apart from colour cause I don't see any that would warrant it taking longer to do "Tii" style, but again I don't know what "tii style" is lol
