Blue Velgens on the F10

JCat27 · 12-05-2014, 04:03 PM

Havent done anything to my car in a while or posted, so I got the urge to do something creative and plasti dipped the Velgens Blaze Blue. Some love it, most hate it and ask WHY???, but it makes for interesting conversations and reactions from people around town.

I'll prob peel it off in a week or two, but i think it looks pretty cool for $30

Enjoy!

I think it looks ok. I do think you will be sick of it in a week but like you said, not bad for $30 lol

sanyomats · 12-05-2014, 05:08 PM

its good, temporary fun!!

JesseIan · 12-05-2014, 08:32 PM

I actually like it haha, I've always had a thing for crazy colors though

Snap! That colour really does walk up and smack you in the face, doesn't it?! $30 bucks is a great way to explore different colours while enjoying a bit of shock and awe at the same time (ha ha)

JCat27 · 12-06-2014, 07:17 AM

Its funny i have had 3 sets of people at stop lights roll down there windows and ask me the same exact question "are those blue wheels?" I want to say something really sarcastic or "huh, what wheels?" and pretend i dont know to mess w them, but i just smile and nod. But thought it was a funny question...of course they are blue!

Me too, I had a lime green set on my IB E46 M3, that was a pretty cool color combo

Yea it sure does! Yea cant beat a little fun and change of pace for $30...

I think it looks pretty good. Pretty easy to get away with most crazy colors with AW.
Plasti Dip is a great way to try out new colors, especially colors you might of regret paying $500 to powder coat.
What kind of trunk spoiler is that?

Couldn't agree more! I think i will powder these or hydro dip them something wild at some point. But Plasti Dip is a great way to have some cheap fun playing around w different color combos.

The spoiler was off Ebay and its was listed as a carbon fiber "3D style" trunk spoiler.

In Cali this would be more acceptable. ..here in Ohio they would laugh up a storm...but than again they're about 100 years back lol...I miss Cali! I would rock that color seriously!

kondor · 12-07-2014, 10:26 PM

What kind of exhaust is that?

See that kind of stuff here in south FL all the time, mostly on heavily modded subaru's and honda's tho. Definitely grabs attention on F10.

ARKONE · 12-08-2014, 11:21 PM

You should post a thread with weekly updates on different colors. Kinda tempted to do this once I get my M5. Switch up the colors, not keep them permanent. I feel with a AW or a Black car, any color rims would go well....

EV0LVE · 12-09-2014, 01:15 AM

Glad its temporary and cheap. You will rejoice seeing the wheels back in silver or black.

Yea I'll end up throwing the Forgestars back on this weekend and keep the Velgens blue for a while throwing them back on in the spring.

Haha very nice. I must say that Lime Green looks great, but I am biased since I have a lime green Ninja.

Nice, way to be different. Pretty cool for a temp setup

Mine is Black and being modded as we chat. Only had it about two months. Moving up from a 2003 540 Sport which blew the airbags on the right side when I hit a pothole on 95 at the Walterboro exit.
