Also got one of these.... no more chrome!

Except for roundels and exhaust tips. I had black and white roundels on my M3, can't get em for the 1M though.

Roundels need to stay OEM IMO. I don't have the OEM muffler, so not chrome

Don't think so. I like the wheels as is. How's your door scratch... I have some VO touch up if you need?

Thanks mate. Just leaving it until the workshop when I'm ready for the M to smell like a paint shop

Looking good Ian, are you doing anything with the wheels, or leaving them alone?

I got the matte black side markers in the Super-light tints. Also a black ///M boot badge.

Black kidneys definitely make the car look tougher.

Not painting wheels.

Ah, didn't noticed the tint and matte. I have got gloss black to match with the rest of the car.

. Still 50/50 on Ti tips or Carbon tips.

One of the side markers has a small crack. The ///M badge has some chrome showing, can probably be touched up though... I can bring it for you if you want?. IND is sending me new items though... good vendor to deal with

Three weeks ago

. Ordered mine from Alekshop as there is something else that needs to come over. They've only posted it a week ago - I think they were out of stock so hopefully will get it sometime this week.
