    today was one of those days... things that make you go as you are minding your own business travelling from A to B. mine for today: a little silver honda jazz (LSHJ) making a simple turn across 2 lanes of oncoming traffic into a gas station forecourt. with HSB hurtling toward them at a blazing 35km/h LSHJ decides to turn in. all going fine until LSHJ sees HSB. and STOPS. 2/3 already in HSB's lane. stationary. and waits. ....urggghkklhkhhkllfdghjtlk any one else have experiences such as this gem on a day to day basis like me? /rant. (also don't know how i got to speaking third person but indulge me)

    ahh merci qube - i'll take you up on that offer and msg you once i've got the stuff. i too like the fact that its reversible - before asking on here I was certain i'd have to spray-paint it which i saw going terribly

    churr for all the responses, appreciate it. i wanted to be able to say "a general consensus is" but you all seem pretty torn between genuine v plasti-dip for grill. because the genuine opt is only $80ish (and not fiddly) i'll get one of those. however jury is still in deliberation on the window trims. sure enough I youtubed "plastidip on" and it autofilled window trim for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLdj4mlDC_g has any one tried this technique? it fascinates me that you would leave a considerable gap and then 'peel' it off your paint. my natural thought would be to tape it up right tight to the window. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDGDx_QFDb0 also this one.... haha bmw ay.

    I definitely do not have orange bits on my lights!!(gross). Yip I really do not want it to look thuggish that's what I've been told I'm heading towards....These are the wheels I have, but they are set on black (so a little bit different to this picture). I like the idea of plastic dip and being able to take off the black - who do I go to for this? What about the window rims - anyone got tips for this - is it a long process? Or can a panel + paint shop sort it for me?
  16. Hi! Am after some advice as to two changes I want to make on my '06 323i... That advice is - should I do the following changes? and if so, is it simple enough to do myself (or who in WGTN should I trouble)? Have ripped all these photos off the net but yeah appreciate more clued up peoples advice please 1. My grill - thinking about going from silver to matte black. Y/N ? 2. Window rims (are oxidised on one side) - am coveting the all black sleek look... is this as simple as I'm making it in my mind?
  17. I know this is 2012 post - but was wondering if you ended up doing this and what the results were?
