So 2 weekends ago I tried to get a nice glossy finish on my Window trim (like the M5 gloss black trim) - it didn't work the way I wanted.
This weekend I stripped the paint off and wrapped the trim in vinyl gloss black, look waaaaaaay better. While I was at it I repainted my calipers and replaced the grilles with matte black ones and added silver and black CF roundels (thanks Weezy) - pics coming shortly.
