These are just a few shots... I still have more being worked on and will post up final pix once everything is complete.

*Note: These pix are taken with my winter wheels (M6 167's) which I had powdercoated Satin Black. My Radenergie R10's are part of the new look and are being redone once again. Stay tuned for more pix as the changes continue...






Brake Color: Lamborghini Pearl Metallic Yellow (Lamborghini Paint Code: 0056)



The change is not the Carbon Fiber trim

Looks nice C! BTW, are your roundels on the wheels done with decals or are they manufactured that way?

Thanks!

I decided the SMG plate and the iDrive knob needed to be matte black, if I were to do the SMG knob gloss black. I think it looks great with the matte CF trim.

Mine are made that way. I have the hood and trunk roundels the same way. They are NOT decals -- they are manufactured that way. They look even better in person. However, I'm still not done with the roundels either. Those are getting refinished too (including the wheel ones in this picture). Hahaha!

Where did you get them from? I'd love a real set of roundels, all I see these days are with decals!
