Can you post more pics? I've been wanting to do this too, but wasn't sure how to manuever around the aluminum running boards. Can't tell from your pics how/if the molding was painted too. Looks great!!!

I just had the blacks on the front and rear bumpers painted. I didn't do the blacks around the side skirts. It was really only the bumpers which I was unhappy with. The blacks around the side skirts acutally look ok to me.

OK. I'll take some more pics tomorrow after it's washed - been on a run today and it got really dirty.

I'll try and take pics which show how we did the bits your looking for.

Nice work, I love the colour of your X. It reminds me of my E36 M3 Estoril Blue.
Congrats..

No problems at all. Was on a run yesterday and it was fine backing up towards a huge tree and today parking at work the front ones responded just fine.

For now.

Estoril Blue is a lovely colour too. It's a bit lighter than Le Man blue, but lovely all the same.

Fiona, remember we don't have a small fleet of vehicles.

We don't take Minstral in the MINI. Too hairy!
