A little extra M-touch - XBimmers.com

hupchurch · 10-27-2011, 10:24 AM

Painted the above bumper grille with M colors and slant. Easy to do but not sure now that I really like it. Comments? Opinions?

Rob@StrasseForged · 10-27-2011, 12:00 PM

Nice, any other mods planned to go with the grill?

Mammoth_Snoborder · 10-27-2011, 01:36 PM

No offense but not feeling the M stripes as they draw unnecessary attention to the grills. When I saw the colors, I though vandalism rather than the M stripes...

hupchurch · 10-27-2011, 02:33 PM

As I said - not sure I like it now that it's done. Easily fixed though.

Thanks for comments - opinions.

me no likey

It looks different and interesting but also looks like someone put it there to vandalize your car
I'd rather do the ///M colors on three vertical bars of the kidney grill

Jim776 · 10-27-2011, 07:34 PM

I like it....

kw335i · 10-27-2011, 07:52 PM

so cheesy...

WWONG · 10-30-2011, 01:49 AM

Looks good except the slanted-ness. Carry on, good sir.

docpowell · 11-25-2011, 04:36 PM

But it's not even an M. WTH?

Vastyle · 11-26-2011, 08:16 PM

Definitely threw up in my mouth just then. Paint upper and lower black.

duffy · 11-27-2011, 11:43 PM

Mate you don't have an M nor an M-Pack. Why would you even bother doing it? Why not stick a Ferrari badge on it?

Fe9L · 11-28-2011, 11:17 AM

Paint it flat black...along with the bumper mesh at the bottom...

And maybe next time you should photoshop it before doing it lol

just my 0.02c

ajp340 · 02-29-2012, 09:05 PM

looks like a gay pride attempt.

CPWINCH · 03-01-2012, 03:04 PM

not bad, i think it would look good on a black car with mods, it looks awkward on oem, maybe with some black grills?
edit: just noticed it wasnt an m, not feeling it

mouivann · 03-11-2012, 09:29 AM

Not a fan.

PIAA310 · 03-11-2012, 06:07 PM

I like it! Very subtle

Ditto. And even it it was an M-Sport...or a real "///M"...WTF???

mrmomo313 · 03-25-2012, 05:59 PM

i'd lose the stripes. get some black kindeys and black out all the mesh up front and it will look good.
