**One Pic** ~ New look summer 2014 ~

AWBimmer · 06-06-2014, 04:50 PM

At first I was very skeptical, and not very keen. But soon as I picked her up today and saw reflections of the car in buildings as I drove past I was in love.

Totally love the Tangoed look which matches with my engine bay. The calipers are now gold (previously orange) and I now have gold split rim bolts mounted in, which are also future proof for when I go back to a darker colour.

It's turned a lot of heads and I'm really pleased. Final phase is Audio. End of June I'll be throwing up pics and videos

Comments welcome

It's not for everyone, agreed

BMWChap · 06-06-2014, 05:05 PM

Hmmmm...it doesn't look classy anymore ,a very bold and brave move especially being a BMW.

I think the wheels will only "make sense" imho when your also showing the orange under the bonnet at shows, maybe i'm just an old fart and still behind with the times...

Sparky68 · 06-06-2014, 05:13 PM

To be fair and judging by your other mods, it is something that probably looks stunning in the flesh.

Brave for being different Sam.

DuckySpud · 06-06-2014, 05:26 PM

I'm not a big fan of bright colours (orange, green, yellow etc) on wheels normally but these work quite well. Still, brave move haha

Outlaw · 06-06-2014, 05:33 PM

I think they look great! But then I came over from the vw scene so I'm used to everyone having bright coloured wheels.

mikeouk · 06-06-2014, 05:41 PM

Hmmm, first look was WTF!!!
But, I kind of like it

Shaun69 · 06-06-2014, 05:44 PM

I'm thinking orange front splitter and rear diffuser ???

Naaaa, this is a look only for this year so don't to mess around with too much orange outside. It takes away from the feature itself, that being wheels.

I have something special for my mirror caps. My shrouds have an 'autocouture' effect of orangeness to them and my mirror caps will follow suit later this month.

As for splitter, if you can find the splitter I'm after and its for sale, I'll buy a drink! That's on another thread of mine

SpaceGreyOnBlack · 06-06-2014, 06:17 PM

Only downside is there are not enough pics bro! More please!

Love the look!

corasdad · 06-07-2014, 02:23 AM

orange wheels are very nice car looks great well done

lolololol · 06-07-2014, 05:01 AM

Too 'Max Power' for me but respect the effort and boldness.

Dizzle · 06-07-2014, 05:30 AM

tis a fresh look, I think I prefer them in the original black though

achu · 06-07-2014, 06:56 AM

love it! get orange mirrors

hahah that might be a bit much... not sure... but i love bright colours... if you're in my area, lemme take a rolling shot please!

AWBimmer · 06-07-2014, 09:33 AM

I got something special for the mirrors bro and I know the wheels aren't for everyone but you only live once.

Next year there'll be another look, or wheels, who knows

Still say this Sam, this is a car that ends to be seen in the flesh it's all about the attention to detail, the small things like the smoothed bumper/chin spoiler mod that's been done along with every bolt on the wheels being carefully cleaned and carefully painted before all being assembled and it's in the execution of all the mods that makes the end result stand out..... sure the wheels being orange is a bit different but that's the value of modding it's an individual thing. And I like it. And as fir the audio
