3 months old and starting to look how I imagined it :)

[M3-FAST]

So, had the M5 now for 3 months and managed to get some pics of it today after a good wash so I could show you all some of the mods done so far

I wanted to stick with the gloss black theme and remove all chrome from car.

RKP front splitter from IND painted gloss black
Side wing markers replaced with gloss black versions
LCi grilles wrapped in gloss black
Grilles treated to the M stripes (not 100% sure about these so may remove?)
Rear Valance wrapped in gloss black
Carbon exhaust tips from Cyba
Door handle chrome trims wrapped in gloss black
Roof, fin, roof trims all wrapped in gloss black
M5 badge replaced with gloss black one (although it's too big for my liking so that will be swapped for a smaller one soon!)
Front windows tinted with a 50% film to blend in with the factory sun protection rears
Interior door/dash trim strips replaced with piano black
Exhaust Meister switchable flap controller fitted today

All the car needs now is a set of darker wheels but am struggling to find a set that fits! Already tried some Vossen CV3 reps and Ispiri ISR6, neither would clear the calipers. I know the Breyton Race fit and can get these in Matt gun but really wanted a 5 spoke concave wheel

Anyway, have a look at my pics and welcome your views

Nice looking car, although I am bias as planning to go a similar way (carbon rather than black) with my new car when it arrives in January.

Opinions are a personal taste, but I think I agree with you regarding the grill at the front - an all black one with no M colours would possible look better, meaner and cleaner.

And any idea if the double slatted grill will fit on 2012 model and best cheapest place to source one..Thanks

I used Eclipse Tinting in Stafford to do the tints and wrap the grilles/roof/handles, etc..

Google them, all their details are on the web site

Search ebay for F10 M5 side grille.

Did they have to remove the rear bumper for the wrap?

The section that has been wrapped can be removed separately by taking out about 6 screws. BMW offer an M Performance carbon fibre part which goes over the top of the exhausts and has diffuser fins in between. Take a look on the Ind website for photos of the part. I think they call it rear apron diffuser.

Looks good although the front grille is not to my taste

[JK-M5]

front lip needs to go. you want the corner splitters fitted.

Wheels want powder coating gloss black then the Diamond cut then ceramic coated.

Grill stripes need to go.
