Decals installed (silver carbon fibre vinyl)

Al Ajmi · 12-18-2014, 06:53 AM

just installed Hood and trunk silver carbon line.

What do you think? im not sure.

mvallido · 12-18-2014, 06:58 AM

Doesn't make me say "Like" at all.

Not a big fan of it, car looks great tho. And the vinyl like it was applied well, have you thought of 3M CF wrapping the roof and or mirrors? It would look a lot better than silver in my opinion.

Less is more.

Love the car, skip the stripes.

Im trying to avoid CF because of the M2, which will have CF roof.
I dont know, i like the Silver, on my car I foiled it with matt clear vinyl.
but definitely taking the lines of.

I think it would look better if the stripe was wider. It's too thin IMO.

Sportstick · 12-18-2014, 08:12 AM

Stripe looks well-installed, but can't help but think of the TV ads where they put on a dividing line, wax one side of the car, use something else on the other, and run it through repeated car washes. I don't think this look helps the overall car's appearance.

If your last line meant to say "definitely taking the lines OFF".....a wise decision IMO.

I personally don't mind it, kind of Mini-esque ... I wouldn't say I love it or would do it myself, but it isn't horrible or anything. Keep it for a while, swap later, just have fun with it and do what you like. I have seen much much worse cosmetic modding, that's for sure.

Not a fan, don't really see the point or what it brings to the car.

I agree with this.

VMRWheels · 12-18-2014, 01:36 PM

Interesting.. any further away shots?

BD_F22 · 12-18-2014, 02:13 PM

I agree with maybe a little wider and possibly off to the side similarly to how some f30s have them.

Dont like it. But in your country you have to try and stand out, I know how it is.

IM2C · 12-18-2014, 07:00 PM

I hope it's easy to remove in case you change your mind.
