I used Foliatec Brushed Aluminium vinyl and 3M DI-NOC carbon fiber vinyl.







Few pics more here: https://5series.net/forums/topic/105...1#entry1253402



Foliatec:
+ very real looking
+ sticks very well
+ thinner than 3M --> easy to mount on highly curved parts
- thinner than 3M --> has to be careful to avoid bubbles (I installed it with a soapwater and worked great!)


3M:
+ looks great
+ thick and strong --> very easy to install without bubbles
- won't stick in very curvy areas

I used an additive glue(3M 77) on some parts, but the vinyl still lifted up from the bottom of the most concave parts (inside door handles, they were too curvy).
