Subtle Changes On My M50d

Post by Northern Chap » Mon Jul 06, 2015 10:33 am

OK.... Had the car for 3 months, now thinking of a few changes.....

Maybe change grill from std to black ?

Mirror cap change to black ? Do I keep the 468m 20" alloys as they are or paint black ? Or even go 21" ?

Thoughts please peeps

I really like it as is and I wouldn't change a thing...I am not known for my modding though! many people like black grills and wheels but they don't do much for me, a black grill usually denotes a lower spec model as well.

I am a big fan of the 235 and I would say its possibly my fave of the whole beemer range but again if it was mine I would leave as is...I am a boring fart though!

I'd go black grills and wheels. The Alpine White 40d M Sport I take delivery of next week already has black wheels, and the grills will be in my possession before the car. I'm also considering debadging it, or having the badges sprayed black. I'm sure there'll be other black bits on the way too.

I hate chrome with a passion, especially on cars with 'sports packs'. I have a MINI JCW, and have spent good money getting rid of as much chrome as possible!
