not new to the forum, and had car for a year, but wanted to post up since I plasti-dipped wheels. looks evil IMO... and for $20 approximately and 3 hours worth of work... can't beat the value and the result. sorry for crappy cell phone pics.
car details are: forged 19" rims on 245/40/19 F and 275/35/19 R. Cusco strut bar (best mod ever, completely strengthend car and improved handling vastly), mildly tinted windows and M5 front clip with some xenon angel eyes and fog lights. wish I could do the rear bumper but I'm so tired of figuring out what the actual process is, who actually did it, whether it works with post-LCI cars that I sort of gave up on it. LOL.

beautiful
and that tyre size is just right. should have been like that from the factory. can't wait to mount my summer wheels.
+100 on the strut bar. makes a big difference on such a heavy car.
have you dropped the suspension and how much? (probably discussed in your thread but anyways)

I now absolutely love the way my car looks... Would do the rear bumper but it's just too much hassle...just going to drive my wicked wagon and move on to oTher stuff.
Peace,

Ps: having trouble attaching pics with iPad, will try again later from pc

Also Including some close up pics of plastidipped wheels... Let me just say they look like professionally painted wheels. Slightly rubbery texture, dirt may not slide off as easily?? Washed them today and covering was hardend and didn't come off even with pretty heavy scrubbing. Considering the reversibility of the whole thing, and the fact it cost less than$20... I can't say why anyone would bother powdercoating.
I wish they had a gunpowder or just mid-grey colour..

Some lovely looking cars here chaps.... i'll be doing a full guide soon on fitting front and rear M sports bumpers to the E61 - once i've sourced my grills, watch this space.
