I was looking into an M3 front end bumper, a carbon fiber hood (worth the trouble?), some white chrome wheels, saw a pair of them the other day on a white BMW and omg it looked sexy as hell, and then possible a spoiler, but nothing big at all on the spoiler, dont want it looking ricey. Anyone know where to get these pieces, or advice on getting them? | | | 06-08-2007, 02:24 AM | #2 | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 | What do you mean by "white chrome"? __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

Also you're going to have to define ricey for us, because we all have our own definition Some of those parts you can get from other people here on this forum or on bf.c otherwise do a search for "useful websites" on here and it should pop up vendors that You might be interested in __________________ BMWCCA #403399 2012 Mini Cooper S Clubman, 6-Speed Loaded 2001 325xi, Winter Package, 5-Speed Traded 1998 318ti, Active, Automatic, TOTAL LOSS R.I.P. 10/20/08 Bilstein Sport Shocks/Struts .

Well, heck, I've got some chrome wheels that I could be persuaded to sell. Check my gallery and PM me if you're interested. __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

That doesn't look like "chrome" at all. It looks more like a "brushed" aluminum finish. You can find a lot of wheel options at Tire Rack __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

Any advice on the spoiler though? like size? i know exactly nothing about them really edit: o and on the wheels, does normal chrome make it look white? once again, know zero about this stuff, please educate me =) | | | 06-09-2007, 01:11 AM | #13 | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 | Quote: Originally Posted by Pejacob97 Any advice on the spoiler though? | Yes... don't waste time looking for an OEM M-Tech spoiler, they're very rare. Quote: Originally Posted by Pejacob97 does normal chrome make it look white? | Um... no. But I suppose it depends on what you consider "white." Go to my photo gallery here and you will see "actual chrome" wheels. Or, like I suggested before, go to the Tire Rack site and you'll get to check out a wide variety of finishes. That's the easiest way to learn about different wheel finishes and what they're called. Oops... I just noticed that the photos of my wheels were taken in very different lighting conditions, resulting in them being different colors. This is the most realistic one. __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!
