430i Gran Coupe

Osnap44 · 12-21-2018, 06:11 PM

I finally picked up my 430i Gran Coupe yesterday (coming from my 06 Mitsubishi Eclipse). This car is beautiful inside and out

I’m picking up some black kidney grills tomorrow and gunna get the tints done soon.

What are everyone’s thoughts on adding a black low profile spoiler and some black rims. I also wanna get black side air vent/ducks in place of the Frey ones on there now. Should I replace the part or do vinyl on the ducts?

Anyone have reliable places In the south Florida area for the rims or ducts?

Welcome! Everyone has their own aesthetic, so if you like the blacked out look, go for it. I like the chrome surround on the front grills as it provides contrast to the darker paint. I also prefer silver/lighter wheels - black wheels just look dirty, to me. Side ducts/"Bimmerangs" look good in body color.
There is a regional FL section - check there for suggestions. Good luck!

Welcome! Great car. You will undoubtedly enjoy driving it.

If you prefer blacked out visual appearance, then by all means make it truly yours with your modifications. Please post pictures. Your car will most likely inspire others to choose the same modifications.

Not a fan of the blacked out looks to be honest, my thoughts are that only a supercar can really get away with being blacked? But it’s your car so go for the look you want.

Also defiantly and not willingly ? 😀
