Had my cars silver window trim vinyl wrapped yesterday at Car X Australia in Clayton. I am very happy with the result. I had it wrapped in Gloss black some pics below.

thought about it but at 2-3k might leave it. Black wheels are a thought. got to get my MichPSS tyres next and fix the bonnet!

yeh found out about plastidip... that's option two for the window trim. nah not yet... claim is in just have to get round to getting it done. i have to use approved repairs under BMW insurance. Superfinish is where i am going to go to.

good luck with that, i'm not sure about superfinish but i reckon i have heard about them somewhere before? I had experience with charlie&batisti (not sure if i spell wrong...) they did a great job

wanna do the plastidip for the whole car together?? might get a deal or so

maybe the wheels but not the car, i like the SG! I would want a gloss though.. I have to take it to approved BMW repairer or they wont cover the claim. I'v got Superfinish and Mr Gloss. I went to Mr Gloss but i wasn't that impressed with their level of service.

good luck with the repair then
btw, i found that it is easy to get chips on the painted wheel, so wrap it could be a good idea

keen to spray my wheels, but i read you can cause issues by added extra weight to the wheels or making the weight uneven? any truth to that, i wouldn't think plastidip would weigh that much.

I assume you will remove the tyre first and then paint/coat then put tyre back on. In that case I would always balance the wheel and a wheel align just to be sure

I have no idea. I just figured that plastidip is a cool idea to give my ride a new look

I also got my car done at car x last week I got gloss black csl's, gloss grills and gloss black exhaust tips but Opted for matte black window trim. He showed me gloss black and it looked cheap IMO. Seeing it on your car though looks awesome!

hi BM1144,

yeh i agree with u i looked at few cars with gloss trim and thought the same thing. When i went in the week before they had a C63 with gloss wrap on the spoiler... that sold me straight away!

Thanks for the advice, makes sense in doing that.
