Got me wondering what the long dash insert would look like wrapped in the same colour rather than the brushed aluminium....?
cheers! Yeah me to actually! Might spray them White?
Match it to whatever external colour you go with - will really tie it all together :thumbsup:

Yes mate, Atlantis blwue :evil:
That will go well with the white leather. Yep you definetly don't want to be painting the trim silver!😂
Id go with the white or alternatively piano black. Wrapped in carbon fibre would look good aswell

There's a few m2s near me in that colour and it does look pretty special. Maybe someone could do a mockup of a zed in it before you commit to it.

Well after over a year of being pretty unusable I've sort of returned it to stock ish.

Bought some 108s off mjennings23 n had them powdercoated in silver.

The coilovers have been wound right up so it clears all speed bumps by me.

Nice to be able to use it as bmw intended once more
