Damn thats hot, How did you get the roof like that??
A lot of work for the bodyshop.. If you look at the roof in person there is absolutely no orange peel or waves on the roof.. its like a mirror or glass roof.. A lot of people ask me if the roofs glass Last time i took my car into service at New Century BMW the workers all came out to look at the car and most of them looked inside the interior headliner to see if the roof was glass.. It took my bodyshop a week to finish painting the roof of course they charged me an arm and a leg for the job at the end But you get what you paid for Here's a couple of pics of the roof at the bodyshop when they haven't washed the car yet so there was a layer of dust and dirt on the roof but you still can see my friends face there pretty clear

great pics!

I've always wondered how the car would look like with a cf roof, but your black is just the same.
How aout a CF rear trunkspoiler?

Are those AGIO S10? Im thinking of getting those but not sure on the quality. Are they heavy, easliy dented?

Awesome car!
For a good CF part you need to vacuum the CF so it'll look smooth.. So its hard to find a place that would do that kind of a job on a roof .. Agio's are good but heavy.. My rear wheels bends alot but its because i'm running 25 series tires so it gives my rims no protection at all.. When my rims bend I just bang it back with a sledge hammer

In the end... all that hard work using a sledge hammer is still worth it... if it could make the car look that good. HAHA

what tyres would you recommend inorder for the rims not to bend?
The road condition here in HK ain't what you'd call top notch.

Have you looked at the BMW OEM CF splitter? might look good on your car.
