Taken with phone cam so picture quality is not that great.

Before with unpainted sideskirts/bumpers and bottlecap wheels...

After painting sideskirts/bumpers and slapping on some M68's

Next thing on my agenda is going to be clear corner taillights. Don't think I want to go with sidemarkers, too much drilling and such.

nice start, im finally getting down to doing some work to my car also. I finally fixed my lighting issues, and got some new roundels.

Did you paint the bumpers yourself? I was thinking about trying it, and if I mess up, my bumper already has gashes and parts missing on it so I could get an M3 bumper or something.

Thanks for the comments.

As far as the painting I didn't do it myself, I just did the prep work like filling in rock gashes and various dings and that the previous owner put into it, and sanding everything down. And the owner of the body shop i work next to painted it for me.

BTW I'm pretty sure I asked this question long ago and got no replies to, but has anyone blacked out their roundels (front/rear bumper and wheel caps). I want to achieve an all black and white look and was wondering how those stickers that bavauto sells look or is there a roundel that someone (dealership or aftermarket) sells already black/white?
