Thank you man. Mine hasn't been delivered yet so I'm debating whether to tell them not to install the front plinth (I presume they screw it in place), and go with what you've done with a shortened plate. I think our standard size plates don't look great on these.

Had the IND BMW roundel installed today. Here is the rear.

I made a mistake and have amended the reply. It's 2 top 3 bottom each side as the nose sticks out further at the top. I placed them close to centre so it's very hard to see them. Also it's a solid connection
Make sure they don't attach the plinth as the screw holes will be seen on a short plate. You can always do it yourself if you decided to use it.

Nice one. Really appreciate the help. Shame we're opposite ends of the country as I'd love to see your colour in person…plus, I'm always a fan of a nice garage lol

Your welcome.
The garage is coming along but the supply chain issues along with some terrible weather is making it slow.
How long till you get your car?

I guess you've had it quite bad with these storms as of late! Few tiles flying about this way recently…

Car is due to be built WC 7th March but I'm unsure how long it takes to get to UK. I'd probably say back end of March. I've already bought too many bits for it and I haven't even got it!

I just got my Turner Skid plate in, today. I think I'm going to install my front bumper ducts and the turner skid plates tomorrow.

Look up what's your forte on YouTube. He gives a nice diy video for this. You'll need a 8mm and 10 mm socket. If your jack head has a large enough jack pad you don't need a puck. I used 2 jacks one on each side.

Glad you like the work. He's great to work with.

I was the first G8x for Mike, so hopefully y'all's cars were finished better than mine

My car was completed on the 10th December and delivered to the dealer on 7th January if that's any help.
Yes weather this month has been pretty grim TBO.

Lovely wheels

I always disliked the fact that the "M4" above "Competition" is black on black on the front of the grill and the two sides



So I bought some silver vinyl wrap, pressed it onto the "M4" and (carefully with magnifying goggles) exacto-knifed the shape out.



Cheap hacks are the best.

This looks absolutely fantastic. I'm going to do this as soon as my car gets here!

Should've bought a base M4 and problem solved lol. No I agree with this, it does look better. Nice work!

Yeah, I don't understand (never did) the logic of black emblem on black background. If the purpose is to disappear into the background, then eliminate the emblem altogether. People who know, know; they don't need to discern an emblem. People who don't know, probably don't care either, so an emblem won't impress them anyway.

Ok, rant is over; here's how I embellished the side air breathers (since they looked a little naked with nothing on them) ...

Awesome idea…I was considering using plastidip to add a pop of color (haven’t chosen a color for San Marino highlight color), but the wrap may be even easier.

How well is it adhering since you can only press it on so much (I’ve never used wrap before)? Does it pull up on the sides when you wash it?
