My proposed mods

AsiaKid · 08-03-2011, 02:51 AM

i dont know if its there matte, or maybe because i jsut saw a small strip of it

but it didnt look good..i thought i was decided on matte white too..but maybe its cuz i didnt see it on yet.....

so indecisive.

The matcat stuff they use..i think its not as "shiny" as oracal or 3m stuff.

AsiaKid · 08-03-2011, 02:52 AM

oh, btw, any matte shows the lines very nicely. I think the 5 series has great lines for this.

Seems like you are keen on doing gloss vinyl. But I have never seen a gloss vinyl wrapped private car. Only on public vehicles for those advertisement, company and building names.

BTW, happened to be at Park Lane parking lot. Saw your car. hehe.

AsiaKid · 08-03-2011, 09:30 PM

Maybe we have never "seen" gloss vinyl because we don't realize the car has been wrapped. There are gloss wrapped cars on google. At CC's shop yesterday there was a lambo, ferrari, x6 and a q7. X6 got the nice matte black, the lambo and ferrari were going gloss green!?

I feel scared of their profit..their company cars include a cayenne!!! They now have a facebook page if you guys want to check it out. Its spelled Colours

I am so indecisive now..paralyzed with indecision. My gf said that the matte black looks nice, but if we do it, it wont be "elegant" at all...not MK..but very racy/aggressive feel. The matte black is nice, but i have to think about how i am going to do the other parts like lights etc.

I did get them to make a deal that if i were to come back with the new msport bumper, they would take a day to stick it on for 2K. We did talk the price down a bit to 19K now.

Just called TW, they said the KWs should be arriving today and hopefully can install next week. Ideally, if timing works out for everything (but how often does that happen), I can get the KWs, pick up MLai's wheels and repaint it and then have them on by the end of the week and then figure out what color the car needs to be.

AsiaKid · 08-03-2011, 11:11 PM

RC3: haha ....how you know it was my car? you went to check the back lights?

hahaha

only F10 there I think. easy to spot and checked WL. bingo. nice combo you have btw.

RC3 · 08-04-2011, 10:43 AM

Kid, I went to TKW BMW to get the touch up paint and trunk protector/cover. Saw a frozen gray M3 there. Ultra sick. CF spoiler, CF splitters, CF roof, gloss black rims, CF trims inside and so on. $1.5m.

I think your car could go this route.

mlai · 08-04-2011, 11:11 AM

That's why I suggested Matt Grey

AsiaKid · 08-04-2011, 11:23 AM

yesyes..picturing that in my head too..my only concern is that different car shape/sizes match different color. Like matte silver is good for smaller sporty car..but not for the 5..i think matte black/grey can work....haha eventually we must decide

Gray and black accents look really good. Absolutely approved.

AsiaKid · 08-04-2011, 12:27 PM

the prob is that frozen gray is metallic and matte at the same time. The flat grey is really flat.

If you msg me your email, i send you a pic to show you. the one from CC.

AsiaKid · 08-04-2011, 10:59 PM

i think the flat grey is not good enuf, probably gonna go matte black.

on that note, I need to change the roundels. I know some websites have the front roundel..but jstreetworks or something doesnt have the trunk one? Anyone know about this?

I think the matteblack should look good with the gunmetal f14s.

Kid, just go whichever you feel like the most. Black or Gray should be the way to go. You have too much second thoughts.

Matt black and gunmetal should be just like mine, but matt version. You know how it looks.

I suggest you just get the stickers not the roundels. Cheaper and reversible.

AsiaKid · 08-05-2011, 12:07 AM

hahaha i am confused..i am losing my mind! I feel schizophrenic! I guess worse comes to worse i just rip it all off!!

mlai · 08-05-2011, 02:46 AM

AsiaKid. Buy another F10. Then you can have your cake and eat it, too.

AsiaKid · 08-05-2011, 02:55 AM

hahaha..no..if switch. E class or A6

on another note, i told gf that we gonna buy one car for play and one car for family:P 5 is family car probably....then play 1M hahaha

Sounds serious

Similar to what I have

But I have another car (Vellfire) for real "family" stuff....

AsiaKid · 08-05-2011, 03:02 AM

vellfire is on company shopping list

but i am just gonna pick up a used one...so cheap and so man available

hehe..so i should have that soon anyways. so the 5'er is my normal drive...then a fun toy in exchange for me giving up my bike.
