need opinions
i have a black x5, and am totally jealous of members with silver 1s that paint their trim pieces to match
im thinking about painting the plastic pieces and flare fenders etc. gun metal or a dark dark grey to give it a 2 tone look a part of me thinks this will look like garbage and the other part thinks it will look good if i do it right what do you guys think? has anyone done this before? is my imagination getting the best of me?

I don't think the two tone with a grey will work. maybe someone can photoshop it for you to get an idea? post a pic up

Why did you buy a Black X in the first place if you want a two tone look? Dark grey or gunmetal I think will look eerie.

I think you will have a problem with the paint chipping pretty easily if you paint the plastic parts. Most of the X's I have seen that this was done to had bad chipping issues on those painted parts.

I don't think it will look good in any other color but black.
