Apex 693 Report post Posted September 8, 2009 In the interest of the public let’s make a few simple rules about what looks good and what doesn’t, also could be helpfull for those who dont want a attention from the Police. Inspired by King Karl. that looks mint! Ever considered painting the calipers? They could either look really nice or really ricer if you painted them red Rule #1) unless you have big impressive brakes don’t paint them bright colours, especially if you’re running three up rim size. Painted drums are ok, shows you have a sense of humour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forrest 35 Report post Posted September 8, 2009 What about painting your calipers to hide from wof inspectors the fact you attacked your calipers with a angle grinder ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DRTDVL 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2009 only time you should have RED (or any color for that mater) calipers is if they are Brembo, AP Racing, or any other aftermarket upgraded caliper... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrantiC Report post Posted September 8, 2009 I can't be bothered finding the thread but the guy that put heaps of effort and painted his in a gold colour, those were MINT. Subtle is always good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted September 8, 2009 I think its the best when only a bright caliper shape has been painted on a black drum....dopeness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted September 8, 2009 What about painting your calipers to hide from wof inspectors the fact you attacked your calipers with a angle grinder ??? Silver or black is fine, bright colours, not so fine. Unless your brakes are substantially large you shouldn’t show them off, would be like a porn star with a 2†tool of the trade painted Day Glow Orange.. Wrong. We need say ten rules, im sure one or two of them will offend but it’s all in good fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) Purists? I don’t get ya, there are tons of mint modified BMW’s on Bimmersport, im sure us purists can attest to that, this isn’t the BMW car club. #2) Stockings over exterior lights, it’s a light designed to let other people know your indented actions and not a women’s legs. Chrome has its place and can be done properly, maybe a guideline as to done properly would be helpful. Edited September 8, 2009 by Apex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forrest 35 Report post Posted September 8, 2009 ^ Didn't mean to cause offence Apex or anyone else, I still think there is a bit of a 'upper class' society on here of those people who don't like people who modify their cars in certain ways but each to their own is the way to look at it. I am all for subtle modifications, nothing too over the top as doing a 'ricer mod' would suggest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted September 8, 2009 The latest rice mod of 2009, d*ck smith LED upgrade. I saw a Commodore last night that had about 4m of led strips stuck in random places, looked like a painting of an Audi done by Picasso. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im loving this new Class system idea for Bimmersport, we already have a King in the form of his majesty Karl, the inspiration for this joyous thread Just sore a mint Mazda RX3 drive past with what looked like some form of window doily Edited September 8, 2009 by Apex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) I still think the worse thing you can do to a BMW to make it ricer is add 'M' badges or M3/M5 badges to a plain jane 3/5 series. Apex, we should make a thread with a photo of each members cars then have a judgement panel i.e Kingkarl to rate how ricer our cars are haha, make it compulsory in members profile or something.
