Thank you, it’s a great color with many different layers that changes the tones in the grey from charcoal to blue and even in some lights a very dark purple. A very unique color!

As is and the Singapore grey has enough blue in it that the blue brake calipers actually match. Looks amazing in person! |

1) everything is vinyl wrapped black gloss. As it is easily removable. 2) very durable and it is a vinyl wrap. The exhaust are powder coated and should last the life of the lease of 3 years 3) total for the vinyl was $250 and the exhaust powder coating was done for $100. |

These mods make a huge difference IMO and very affordable to boot. Btw, SG looks insane. Was thinking DG but you've got me thinking. Enjoy in good health!

OP - did they have to remove all the parts for wrap, or did they do any of the work without having to take things apart?
I think the gloss black vinyl grilles look great. I would probably do the same but also would do a black "M5" on the trunk emblem and black roundel also, for consistency. |

Black on black on black on Singapore Grey...... not sure I feel it on the Singapore. No contrast. Like 50 shades of grey/black whatever.

Thanks for sharing. It looks good.
Seems like a much simpler way to customize. I might try it to change the silver carbon trim to gloss black. Im sure glossy vinyl will be a better idea than removing everything out and replacing it. |
