Your car looks nice and I know it's about preference, but I do think you need the fin and rails wrapped to keep the lines cleaner.
Don't disagree at all. Will probably do that when I re-wrap to fix the couple of spots I'm not happy with.

I was super paranoid to remove the fin and reattach-I would hate to get a water leak.
I was as well but I found a reputable spot that had all high end cars with wrap work so I knew I was in good hands.
That's beautiful

I love that color so much. Looks so good!

I wish I had the 550 but I don't. So I wanted to add the extra touches to give my 540 a little extra uniqueness.

Definitely go for it, once you start the black trims, car will look great once everything is fitted. White and black combo works great

Wrap the door handles while you're at it too lol

I was actually thinking about doing that to chrome delete those door handles. Btw, is it just me or are the G30 door handles a bit flimsy? My F10 550i had thicker and sturdier door handles...

I've noticed that about the door handles as well, I came from an F15.

Is that genuine carbon or a wrap or print/hydro graphic? Is it just bolted from the inside or 3M? I'm on the quest for carbon but it adds up quick! I've got the RW front splitter, an eBay carbon spoiler (surprisingly good quality,) and a set of eBay carbon side skirts on the way. The side vents are next and the accents on the front bumper.

It's the Autotecknic CF fender trim, 3M stick on. I'm eventually going to get the OEM CF trim.

Had my wheels refinished this week… along with ditching the runflats. And got a bath - long over due.

I just got some 2 inch black vinyl wrap and used that to wrap the cerium eyebrows on the grill. Took all of 20 minutes.

Ah, I thought you did something to the headlights. Where did you get your mirrors?

I was running at the recommendation in my iDrive (42/47 rear I believe) but I wouldn't take advice from me given that I've literally blown all four in the last 2 weeks 🤣

Wow those look great! I've been looking into the FF10s for a few weeks, trying to decide between liquid metal and satin black. Post pics if you can when you mount, would love to see the offset look on these.
