550 Piano Black Tailpipes?

BaLLzZz · 06-19-2011, 04:39 PM

Piano Black/Shadowline Square/Rectangular Tailpipes!

Where can I source these ie the shadowline window trim and door handles?

Which leads me to another question.

Are any vendors selling JUST the door handle chrome pieces(obvi in shadowline swatch)?

The basic plan for the car is matte black the window trim/front grill/lower strips(non ///M)/side frills(haha WTF are these).

With that I would like to souce the handles in shadowline YES NOT MATTE but better and subtle enough to not clash the slightest of bits.

Thank you in advance for any input or suggestions.

Haven't seen any for sale, actually saw a post that suggested the door handle inserts can't be removed. If you're brave, try taping it off and painting it with this: http://www.duplicolor.com/products/shadow/

Let us know how it turns out!

The door handles can definitely be done with taping off BUT my main concern is the tailpipes. Have you seen the ones I'm talking about? I believe they are oem BMW or from a vendor I don't care from where just no leads on them yet.

Yep-those are the m sport tips for the 550. Not sure if you can buy them separately, maybe give tischer a call?

Yea I figured a few guys might have had them or sourced them. They have to be sold separately incase the cars crashed. I will give them a call Tom. Thanks for the quick responses.

UPDATE:

Just as I suspected ie the x5 5.0 the tips are welded to the exhaust. There's no way CURRENTLY to change them other then change the whole can. Even if you cut the welds you can't source the individual tips.

Sorry if anyone had the same idea as me.
