Thoughts on my e92 (ricey?)

F22leo · 09-28-2019, 10:23 PM

This is my first post here and wanted to get some different opinions on my current car. I want to see if people think it looks ricey lol. It's a 2012 328 coupe with xdrive, (I live in the northeast), that I bought over the summer. When I bought it the paint was in terrible condition among countless other problems (story for another post),that have since been fixed. Since the paint was in really bad shape I decided to wrap it matte purple which I'm still in the process of doing. I also did the roof carbon fiber. It's my first time wrapping anything or using vinyl so it's not perfect. The car is far from done because I ran out of vinyl, more is the on way though. but what do you guys think of it currently and what suggestions do you have for the future? Thanks

I take it you are a HUGE fan of the Joker.

Delta0311 · 09-28-2019, 10:33 PM

It is your car so only thing matters is that YOU like it. Props to you on the vinyl job, it is coming along very well. Interesting choice of color I must say.. The wheels got to go though, plasti dip look is out.

I appreciate it man I'm also pleased with how the vinyl is coming along, also those are aftermarket black alloy wheels they're just quite dirty in those pics. 🤛

Ok makes sense.. Honestly if you are going to go with that color you mind as well get some gold colored BBS wheels.

Like this

just 18s though.. Avoid 19s.

You could probably make some money doing wraps for people.. You definitely got some skill.

+1. never lend money or do things in advance for even a best friend lol

colorado.e9x · 09-29-2019, 12:29 AM

This isn't my taste but you clearly care for your car, which I respect.

Plus from the pics it looks like you're talented with vinyl. Envious

F30lolz · 09-29-2019, 12:38 AM

Doesn’t matter what we think OP. If you dig it, enjoy it.

SmokingJoe · 09-29-2019, 12:41 AM

IMO it does look ricey atm just because it is not finished, and being purple and black it looks a bit like an old e36 or similar in hands of a "Pro racer" who got
the license a week ago. But it will surely look absolutely fantastic once it's finished.
BTW there is something just wrong with those wheels, they look out of place IMO

OvergrownTony · 09-29-2019, 12:48 AM

I like the purple It's going to look nice once it's finished. Personally I find the wrapped cf door handles a little tacky. Just my opinion though if you're liking it I say go for it!

StillAs · 09-29-2019, 06:55 AM

Need high kick spoiler in the back. No question

tcphoto · 09-29-2019, 07:06 AM

There is nothing wrong with wrapping but the choice of color with the black dipped wheels is pretty rice.
