Another V-bar wrapped

winther1 · 06-15-2020, 07:24 PM

30-minute job.
Went for a blue matching the BMW logo rather than the darker colour of the callipers:

Looks really good. Top work

northernsouly · 06-16-2020, 04:49 AM

Did this exact colour myself on a my black sapphire F30 last week. Really easy to do if the vinyl is good quality and you clean the v-brace with IPA beforehand. I think it looks great on a white car with black grills. Good work!

That looks really cool. Great mod

RENT-A-GOAT · 06-16-2020, 09:15 AM

Looks great, hands down a top mod on the Fxx.

seenthelight! · 06-16-2020, 09:55 AM

winther1 · 06-16-2020, 10:23 AM

Thanks.
I cut them to 370x80mm as per this thread:

Hey what color blue is this and what brand. I cannot get the right color by any means.

DarCol · 04-01-2021, 02:31 PM

Must just be me, but, I’m struggling why anyone would want to draw attention to these bars.... ��*♂️

Purple, Yellow, Blue, Green, Red? For me match which brake caliper you have or end up opting for.

On the Subaru WRX they make sure that the horns are red and very visible.
I think this is to create a color accent for the color inside the BMW roundel.

hilift · 04-02-2021, 05:11 AM

each to their own I suppose !!
I really can't see why you would want to high light ugly scaffolding tubes , that bmw obviously painted satin black to hide them .
sorry not a fan , it looks about as classy as tri colour grille stripes .

Also look nice in carbon & much better than the fading BMW finish which was the reason for me wrapping them in the first place.
