pin striping on diffuser
looking to add some pinstriping on the diffuser and trying to decide what color to go with? something that's very subtle and not so bright like red and orange. maybe a gray or silver? the pinstriping will be on the edge of the tray I made than up the diffuser fin itself right down the middle of it since the pinstriping will only be 3mm (1/8") which will still show the cf fin on both sides of the pinstriping. it will also outline the inner diffuser as well. let me know what you guys think or if you have any suggestions

awesome thanks! i'm just spitting ideas out. there's a guy on Instagram who has his with red pin striping and it looks cool. but without seeing it in person it's hard to tell if I would like it or not

The good news is if you do it and don't like it you can always peel off the tape. My last car was silver and the previous owner put on a maroon (taped) stripe. While it was tasteful, it wasn't my cup of tea. It was easily removed and with a simple polish you could never tell it was there.

Id say carbon golden as it would go with your rims.

If you're interested to see it, the latest Manhaart MH5 800 uses them all round...in gold. Link below is a view from the rear. It's a slightly more subtle approach than pin striping all the fins.
https://pictures.topspeed.com/IMG/jp...-manhart-6.jpg I think pin striping is very much to your personal taste. After seeing it on this Manhaart M5 I decided to try it out on my f10.....but with grey stripes. Front, side and rear only. (not keen on the Le Man style racing stripes) TBH, I still can't quite decide whether it looks sweet or whether it's one grain of rice too far! As said above, if you don't like it you can remove as easy as it goes on. For the sake of a few bucks I'd give it a go and see what you think. Have to say that ride of yours is mint. Followed your updates for a while. |
