Wicked look! I like it.

Paint the calipers silver. Powder coat your exhaust tips matt black. Done! For now.....

I painted mine silver because it is close to stock but they look a cleaner and are easier to keep clean.

+1, I think silver would look hot.

Matte black tips would be tits.

By the way, rims look very nice.

Nice additions. As for the calipers. Go black. I thought about going red on my black on black 5er but it wouldn't look right.

I also did not think red went well, so i went yellow. I am very happy with the look.

Yellow does look nice with glossy rims. I'll try silver first and if I'm not happy about it, I can always switch it up. Now the only thing that sticks out is my red rpi scoop

M5 mirrors, one of the best (and expensive) mods. Why didn't you go for the two tone color

I bought the mirrors off a member here along with his coilovers. It was his last 2 items he needed to sell. It's very rare to have sapphire black parts on here plus the mirrors were OEM. Couldn't refuse. I wouldn't mind getting the CF bottom part one day though.. it was pretty easy to DIY the mirrors and all so yeah... definitely would think about getting the cf bottom pieces one day (if anyone sold them for cheap).
