Cool Painted My Mouldings and Couldn't Be Happier!

Many of you might have already seen this thread on BF.com but I can't help but spread the joy I just had my bumper fixed and repainted as well as my mouldings and sidemarkers painted on my boston green ti. The results were amazing! Far beyond my expectaions! I couldn't wait to take some pics of her in the gorgeous Kelowna sunshine. Enjoy guys and gals!

Looks nice Those rims rock!

It always funny when people on bf.com get upset that a 318ti has a "///M" badge on the side. Even though it's factory

Especially E36 M3 owners. Never got any grief from E30 M3 owners. Those wheels do look good. I just cleaned my 95 Motorsport wheels and all the years of neglect is showing.
I usually don't like painted moulding but it really works on your car. Maybe it's that I like black moulding on a light colored car.

Very cool rims! Even though I post on it, I don't really like bf.c Everyone always seems pissy and insults the ti's.

i agree, twice. normally don't like it, but here it works.

and dang, that's a purdy spray job. no waxing for 48 hours (if clear'd) and a month if it's just paint.

Yep!

Then they complain about how heavy their E36 or E46 is.... oh wait, the ti is MUCH lighter.

Then they compain about how there's too many electronics in their cars and they're not "pure".... oh wait, the ti is about as pure as you get. No cruise, traction, stability, OBC, tilt, power seats, etc... (at least mine is)

All I feel from their comments is pure jealousy. Can't handle the fact that we make our rare(well somewhat) Bimmer look good

I haven't been flamed personally on bfc, but I have seen other fellow ti owners get flamed almost to death. Its a shame.

Less is more especially considering the amount we paid for these little gems and every time I get 28 MPG ! Check this month's Roundel, nice commentary on the ti.

That looks good. Boston green is near and dear to me, since my first ti was that color. The mouldings look great. What kind of spoiler is that? I like the way it looks. That's a top-notch extereor. You have my stamp of approval. (=
