Pic w/ new black grille, headlight trim
 
Someone was selling brand new black headlight and grille trim on eBay for $200 shipped, so I snagged them. Changes entire look of front end on Iced Chocolate Metallic paint. Few little mods at a time. Looking for larger OEM wheels next...

Driving lights look nice. So clean without the license plate. I hate NY.

Looks good. I would get the matching taillight trims.

I have a Clubman so there is no rear trim. I would be interested to see what other chrome trim I can change to black though.

Oops sorry , forgot that. Yep, so you have to 3m wrap them; unless you have them black already.

Yeah already black. I would love to replace the chrome under windows though.

Black out tape... ECS has it i believe... then the blacked out turn signals; will do the front vents over the weekend and tint in a few weeks.

Is the blackout tape gloss like the backline parts? Hard to tell from pics.

Matt, no shine to it at all... takes patience and a steady hand, looks great when applied correctly.

ECS beltline gloss black currently out of stock. Definitely the next move though.
