Hello from yer twin 👍🏻
Love what you done with your wheels, looks miles better and it goes well with the black bits.
Have the got your Spoiler done as well? I have and think look lot better.
Now thinking if I should swap the exhaust housing for black ones as well?
Aye mate got the wheels done and kept the diamond cut, felt like a bit of a risk but when I saw them painted I knew they were gonna look good.

Aye got the spoiler black aswell mate, goes a lot better with the back of the car I think 😁

Never actually thought about changing the exhaust tips to black, curious to see what that would look like
Had a quote for genuine BMW black exhaust housing at £158 including postage.
Just unsure if I should get them or not as I quite like the look how they are now.

Has anyone painted black that portion of the undercarriage which is visible from the rear of the vehicle? It really stands out when you are behind the vehicle.

Thank you. I think Pasti-Dip would also work.

Depending on the spec, if the car costs over £40k it would be like £450 a year in tax consistently I think.

If you keep it under £40k it would be £870 for first year (I got dealer to pay for that &#128527 then like £160 or something every year after.

I think that's near enough correct.
