Shadowline Trim

Mchelootz · 08-16-2011, 05:51 PM

Has anyone bought the bmw shadowline trim? If so i need some advice on which roll i would need for my 128.

It is really expensive... http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...ght=shadowline

500-750$ w/o install.

sorry about that i meant the vinyl tape stuff sold by bmwshadowline.com

Satalite · 08-16-2011, 07:20 PM

Ohhh. I bought it but installing was too much of a PITA... I went to a professional vinyl shop and had it done for me.

There is the gloss and matte finish I think, I got the Gloss one which I think is very close to the BMW original shadowline trim.

I have a roll that have been sitting for a while in my drawer.

I hope to get the courage to install it for this winter, it will look good with my black wheels.

I tried installing the sucker today and major fail. Couldn't deal with the corners at all and figured this would take me forever, so gave up.

@Garduna, where did you have yours done in Toronto? Thanks

I have wrapped the trim a few times now. There is a small DIY that I had put together a few years back. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=297681

Get it professionally done if you don't have a couple of hours and a ton of patience!

Hi thanks for the DIY, excellent job by the way. I tried following your instructions but still couldn't do the corners. Will have the professionals do it if the price is not too steep.

I used a heating gun (aka hair blower) on the corners, it worked great!
