new presents for my bimmer?

RickG · 03-23-2012, 10:24 AM

its getting closer to the summer which means its getting closer to going back to Canada and taking my baby for a few spins.

I bought my baby a present last summer, she got new shoes now what to get this summer?

I have a 2011 328xi space grey, red interior, matte black rims.
These are what I'm thinking of doing so far:

Exterior:
wrapping the window trim, side mirrors black
painted reflectors
smoking the tailights
painting calipers red, or black
blacked out grill
exhaust suggestions?

Interior

new audio suggestions?
Also I've always had this idea of getting my blackberry playbook some how installed into my dash I don't want a cheap looking window suctioned cup holder, there's a few holders out there that I've looked at ill post the links on those later on, anyone know a place that can maybe do a custom, clean install? or make a holder?

Any suggestions on shops to get these done at in the GTA down to London area?

Last year i believe a bunch of you guys got your wrapping done in markham anyone have the info handy?

Also any other cheap little mods I haven't mentioned?

Looking forward to the feed back, and the opinions on which to get and which not too.

I would lower it if the wheel gap is huge, mine was.

I blacked out my chrome trim and covered my headlights, reflectors, sidemarkers and taillights with films at Auto-Links.

Top notch dudes there.

The wheel gap doesn't bother me too much. Think I'll do that next year though.

It cost me $500 over two visits. Tedious work that I couldn't be bothered with. Only pics I have is of my tails with a light charcoal film and my matte black badge that I did myself after removing the chrome. I'll take a picture of my dark charcoal reflectors, side markers and blacked out trim later today:

Nice thinking of debadging but that looks pretty good actually

I bought the matte black badge for $20 flat at Bimmian when I walked in one day.

For exhaust, go for BMW Performance Exhaust

The blackberry thing you're talking about, some guy did something similar (it wasn't a PB). I think his thread was in photos/media section.

You should get LUX Angel Eyes as well.
