gloss black emblem is on as well as keyhole delete mod (I had issues with last one, had to call AAA to get my car unlocked, probably my fault, my advice is to reinstall the mechanism inside the cover when switching) my car started to act funny first time around.
its a little tricky to install the keyhole delete with mechanism but possible took me awhile to figure it out... thx to Kimo for moral support during heart breaking times today last pic in the car wash, never took pic inside the car wash before |

Wow now you got me scared of the keyhole thing...I got that from Kimo as well but not sure if I want to attempt that now. Plus I was thinking it may not be a good idea in general if your battery ever dies and you need to use that or something. Maybe I will put that part on sale I doubt there will be any takers though the colour isn't exactly common.
Kimo said he will do me a DIY so after I review that I will make the decision of if I want to tackle it or not. Was bored the other day and decided to do a plasti dip DIY on the rims. Pretty happy with the results tbh, did the black base coat with graphite metalizer and it looks pretty neat I think. |

Haha yup I love the black rims had them powder coated on my e92 m3 as well and was going for black this time too. But last minute decided to do some graphite metallizer Which gives it a grey'ish shine at the end which I think is a little different and awesome.
Just for fun my m3, miss it sometimes..it was a one of one paint in North America too |

I don't, but I'm constantly surrounded by them. If I was in sales I would be waxing lyrical on how ksa needs my wheels asap for the benefit of M kind. How the lighter weight and better grip of getting the best street tires out there on the beast would make every drive better. How the look is classy yet aggressive with no spacers needed. How picking any finish is awesome etc etc etc... |

Tbh I like the single fin ones better and that's what I had initially ordered but the seller said they were sold out and if they could send these that were worth more. I couldn't be hassled so I was like whatever. Let's see how they look after they go on. |
