My Ride: 2007 530i Alpine White with Navi and Premium PackageIn progress: OEM Mtech kit, H&R Sport Springs, and 19
So I had my mtech kit painted (paint match is not accurate, taking it back to the shop this week). I painted the kidney grills, installed the mtech kit, and used the shadowline tape. Lots of work this weekend and the Miro 942s will be here tomorrow! I still have to have the H&R springs installed.
For the paint match when I took the kit to the shop the sample in their book appeared more gray than the car was. But when I installed it the car seems grayer. It doesnt seem like they used the same color we agreed upon. (Just had the car clayed and waxed a few days ago).
Before front
After front
Before side
After side
The color difference it really pronounced here...

Looks awesome and a huge improvement.
Especially helpful to have before and after pictures. I can finally see why I need to get a body kit. (Now I have to figure what the differences are among the various kits.)
Been looking at pictures of the modified cars here, and then looking at my car when I go outside, and having a hard seeing it...even thought about bringing my laptop out to the garage. NOW it see it!

congrats! looks great!
I hope I'm not offending you , but it seems like the bumper doesn't match to the car.
