wolliver 1 Report post Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) will modify for now, then buy the caps when i can find some. i just wanna get the kit fitted and painted finally. is there anywhere i can get bmw colours in a spray can? i wanna get the kit at least matching my current colour, as a respray is still a while away Edited September 10, 2009 by wolliver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
