Ok, so this does sound slightly chavvy, but I think done properly it could look superb: am thinking about getting dark flames down the front sides of my black Z4MR, coming off of the front and just down the sides almost to the back of each door. Maybe just a thin outline in dark grey on black - subtle but very cool.

Is there a safe (and future removable) way of getting this done without damaging the paint?

Mate - don't take this the wrong way, but.

JESUS CHRIST ARE YOU MAD!!!!!

That is SOOOOOOOOOO '60s.

Those ghost stripes someone had on their Z4 didn't look too bad, but flames? Just say no.


If you insist, I guess a wrap would be the easiest or an auto decal of some sort.

now I see why you'd want more privacy.....

Do it! It's good to be an individual!

thats the same arguement for choping ur head off! DONT DO IT!

I really don't think flames will suit the lines and angles on the Z4.

This is coming from a dyed in the wool, time served hot rodder too.

to answer your question.. there are removable vinyls that are easy to take off after a couple years and wont harm paint. Find a vinyl cutter shop that uses Oracal exhibition vinyl. The bad side... it only comes in matte finishes, but the finish itself is really nice, and could be a nice contrast. If you got basically the same color as your car, then used the matte finish to make it look different, that would be a more subtle and interesting effect.

I think you're getting the term 'Flame Surfacing' mixed up.

Dont do it.
Go and but an XR3 and do it to that.

dont do it! the car has enough going on to look amazing, any more and it would over complicate the car
