Default New Pics fresh out the shop!

I just got my car back from the paint shop and all I can say is that she is almost done as far as the exterior goes. Please dont mind the steelies in the pics because its still snowing in new england.

Enjoy:











Platanos.........I'm catching up to you!

Ditch the M badges and you're good.

And get some fogs or delete panels in there

I kind of like the black wheel look on that car...

Have you thought about replacing the black beltline trim on the rear bumper (or painting it??) and getting black 18's? I think that would look hot on that car...

I have the fogs, I was just modifying them to accept H7 bulbs while she was in the shop.

Thanks J!M! At the shop, I told the guy not to paint the belt line on the bumper, but he did anyway. So I guess I'm gonna get the rest of the trim painted artic silver along with my M3 mirrors when they arrive. I would have painted it back to black.....but.........it doesn't detach! It's molded into the bumper.

Just mask it off and it can be painted with no problem. I think it will look better black than painting all the moldings on the rest of the car. Painted moldings look unfinished to me- like a model car that did not get the time to be properly detailed before display.

I can give you a hand with the masking/painting if you want, but it will have to wait a little while I'm afraid.

Looks low and hawt. Love the black wheels actually - sinister appeal. Agree with J!m, black beltline if possible when he is not afraid ....

Thanks papa! I'm going on another photo shoot this afternoon so you can expect better pictures tonight. I do have the black mesh that came with the bumper, but I'm still hung up on weather I want it on the car or not. Maybe if I put the mesh in the front bumper then I might put it in the rear.

But thanks for all the Compliments guys! As far as the black wheels go. I have 18" Breyton Visions in silver to match the car.......those are going on the ti this weekend.

great pictures, im in the process of putting a kit on mine and still looking for a nice rear bumper, this will give me a better indication whether to go with the e36 bumper of the rieger. Looking forward to more pictures of the rear bumper...

Thumbs up Artic Silver Rocks!

Love the color of your car. Artic Silver color is one the best looking color for BMW. Good job!

My next BMW is going to be a silver one. Love it.

I saw a ti in San Diego that had all the panels painted alpine white with awesome rims and it AMAZING! I am not sure about the look you have going with your tires. To me it looks like you just had a flat and still driving on the full size spare, but it's your baby and if she looks good to you then you go with it!

Outie,
Mothman
