ok so i was thinking what would it look like if i powdercoated the inner barrels of my wheels white, and then got a black vinyl roof. Vinyl roof is really on my mind. it would only be a couple hundred to get materials and get it installed. the only expensive thing might be buying a new black fin. so if someone is has some time to kill ps my roof and inner white barrels.

Your car looks great as it sits. Don't ruin it. Keep your BMW classy.

black roof would look nice but your inner barrels would get dirty beyond belief that there really is not point in doing them in white unless you plan on cleaning them twice a week by pulling them off your car

its more of a pain then anything else

Brett, why not black on the barrels? That'd work better than white. Even though I think white would look pretty nice, actually, I think it'll just get dirty all the time and will sort of be a wasted effort. Although, I should tell ya, don't listen to anyone, when it comes to tastes - your car = your mods. No advice needed. No confirmations, either - just go and do as you feel. On the vynil black roof though, that's a DOPE IDEA!!! I want one too!!!!!!!!
