What did you do to/for your 1er today?

Finally found some caliper vinyl that 'should' match the color my car is being wrapped. Also got some black BMW lettering coming in to put on the calipers. I think that'll look good behind the wheels

Can you send the caliper vinyl you found

Here you go. I've seen a few threads on using this stuff. It's not specifically billed as 'caliper vinyl' but has increased heat qualities and comparable to other caliper vinyl that did not meet my color needs

Finally snagged some pics with the wrap, full set here: https://www.1addicts.com/forums/show...4#post23492464

Got a very nice two-tone look going on there, Matt. I like it...

Goes well with the new color wheels.

Your car looks like no other. Very unique!

Purchased them directly from Brandon at VMR and had them powder coated gloss black before arriving. Was about a month wait but well worth it

Stock suspension (except E92 M front sway bar), tires are Firestone Firehawk INDY 500 (surprisingly good tires, previous owner put them on).

1and1 · 07-24-2018, 08:46 AM

Worth mentioning that the Firehawk's are actually Bridgestone RE003's that have been rebranded for the US market. Elsewhere on the planet they're Bridgestone

I never imagined I'd be running Firestone's, but I sure do love em...

Spent the past few days buying, cleaning up, and starting to refinish a set of two-piece Style 71 wheels. So far I've got all 4 lips polished and will start on painting the centers next! Thread with more pictures and details here: https://www.1addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1518794
