Photoshoot of my Space Gray F10 with minor cosmetic mods

S65B40 · 06-10-2013, 05:58 PM

I stopped by JL-Motoring earlier in the morning to get some test fits done. I also took some snapshots during the process. I was quite pleased how complete the car looked while with both the lip and the diffuser on.

Damn... That lip in front look awesome.

Heard some bad stuff before about JL-Motoring but either you were in luck or they have improved, car looks good.

You should definitely get CF or Gloss/Matte Black Side markers, and maybe get those wheels done in a darker color, I think it would suit the car better.

Thank you!

I know the owner James personally, he's worked hard to improved the quality and resolved the issues with their products. The craftesmanship of their products have improved greatly over the years.

I have a pair of matte black side markers coming in next week. As for the wheels I like the silver-gunmetalish color the way they are right now. Perhaps I'll get them re-finihed in the future if I ever get bored with them.

Nice... Good to hear.

Thinking about any exhaust or ECU remaps? DINAN is the best way to go for ECU. I currently also have a muffler delete, love it, but some aftermarkets are nice too.

Yes Dinan sure is a nice route to go with their warranty included. But IMO the price is still very hefty for a tune.

I think I will end up with the JB4 + a catless downpipe as my only power mods. I like the 550i mufflers just fine.

Staying low key is the point for this car. As my M3 is getting all the attention already.

Alan l. · 06-11-2013, 08:52 AM

Looking good. Amazing how a few subtle mods can change the way this car looks so dramatically.

Shot these with Sony Alpha a99 on a 20mm f2.8 prime + CPL, zero post processing.

I might put those mirror covers in my future shopping list.

Thanks!

True, the fact is the F10 M sport is already very good looking. Adding these simple touch up pieces will only make the good looking car even better, not too much, just about enough.

By the way I've always loved your SG 535xi, it's very tastefully modded, one of the best looking SG F10s!

Cool F10.

Thanks man! I've also tried on a 3D style lip that looked like your authentic one but my camera ran out of battery at the time!

Your car looks awesome on those HREs by the way!
