I don't think BMW makes, or I couldn't find any, spray paint. I simply matched a Ti paint from AutoZone. Make sure to clean the surface well and prep the area to be painted with adhesion promotor. It'll cost all of $10 and a couple hours of your time!

Are your headlights original with the amber piece removed? Looks great with the clears and chrome rims. I have a 2000 X5 4.4 that I want to remove the amber corners.

Yep...Headlight baking is a piece of cake. I wish I had removed the other lenses soooo, I'm going to re-bake, remove the lenses & install AEs soon. I did go ahead and install PIAA Extreme White bukbs all the way around (high, low & fog). What a differance.

I like your creativity a lot. With those tailpipes, it looks much more compact & sporty, to me, then 4.6is spoiler/pipes!
Your might wanna throw in running boards too!

Running boards are on the list...probably next month. I'm working on the interior now. So far I've got a hard wired V1 with conceeled display in the ashtray, BMW gas, brake & footrest pedals & chrome instrument rings. I've got a new M steering wheel on hand and woking my local stealer for a good price on the airbag & am about to order a Ti interior trim pakage (my light poplar will be for sale soon). I'll certainly post pics once complete but want to wait to get the full affect ;)

Speaking about trend! Since your so good with taping, you can maybe paint lower part of front bumper before you install the decorative skid plate. Because I think it's impossible to put plate over 4.6is front spoiler!?!? I've never seen that combination before!

I thought about the front but there's not a clear line to delineate a egde :dunno: |
