MY 550ix Dark Graphite Metallic M Sport

It is a bit dirty, but you get the idea. I like the look of the black grills on the front and the aluminum hexagon trim on the inside looks good as well. On the the pic on the hood, that is the reflection from the light standard in front of the house. It came with the extended black panel and I also have the color HUD.

Mike,

Where the heck did you go ? You already have 400 click on it ....

Looks really good. You already have couple of small mods already. I think that black kidney grills are hot. Did you change the emblem for the trunk as well ?

MrDit · 05-24-2011, 08:13 PM

I have been driving around, enjoying the ride, already had to fill it up!! Took your advice and filled up at Shell, they are still advertising no ethanol for the 91 octane. Yes, the trunk emblem is changed as well.

Nice Mike. The black panel looks very cool. I look forward to seeing in person hopefully some time soon.

Mike,

It's time to pass the key & let your wife drive for a week or two or three !

There is a chance she will not give back to you afterwards .....

Hi

Did you also replace the trunk emblem?
I am trying to replace both hood and trunk. I have the hardest time trying to get the trunk emblem off. Is it like the hood emblem (double side taped with 2 pins) or is it actually part of the trunk?
Please help. Thank you.

I also replaced the trunk emblem, and yes, it is the same.

Very nice!

masti99 · 08-02-2011, 09:19 PM

Congrats!

Looks like the M-Sport package. Full specs?

sanf · 08-02-2011, 09:31 PM

for the trunk emblem.. i use THIS. for sure no scratch or anything. you can certainly use the credit card/flat head screw driver method but this is far safer

btw. the dash looks different than mine. US vs Can model?

It is a Canadian model built after April 2011 with HUD that adds the extended black out panel. Is that what you are referring to??
