Checkered flag decal-fitted on my M3...pics included

[Nadeem]

I always wanted to get the checkered flag decal on the front bonnet, but I wanted it to be subtle...after searching forever, I eventually managed to find someone in America who made them ....the choices I had was: (1)in the M-Tec colours....(2)in black 'n' white.....(3) in black or silver carbon fibre....I decided to go for the black carbon fibre as it would look nice and subtle on a black car .....I then decided to only get the front one because I felt that by putting one on the boot as well it might look a bit too much it took 2 months for the decal to be made and sent out but it finally arrived and then I wasn't sure I'd be able to get it on right ....but I gave it a go and it turned out ok ...well atleast I'm happy with it anyway took me 2 days to do it as it takes ages positioning them squares,moving them again and again and finally get the air bubbles out towards the end I realised that I got the positioning wrong a bit and thus I couldn't fit the 2 last sqaures towards the front of the side section but never mind....I'm happy with it as is here are the pics.....opinions welcome ...the front evo chin spoiler + splitter should be ready to go on next week as well

I cant say I'm keen tbh mate, nor the M stripes on the grill, each to their own however!

despite me not keen I must say well done, it looks like a spot on job I know I wouldnt have a patience!

[glenn]

subtle
i like it

[Nadeem]

style 5s with black centres and polished dishes are coming in a few weeks...and I have a set of Type I racing 3-peice A C Schnitzers with negaro silver centres and gold bolts all round sat at the wheel refurbers...just need to put both sets on and see which set looks better as for the lowering....that is on the cards ready for summer

[m3ben05]

I actually really like that mate, and your mods sound spot on

We need some better pics tho

[bmwscorpion]

Thats subtle, perfect mod I like it...

[ed325i]

Thats nice I like it

[zaust]

nice touch fella...

[beavis2k4]

Nice

[aceraf]

Looks good, and I like the mtec grill aswell....doesn't look over the top...really subtle, and I have to say you did a good job as well!!!

[camshaft]

It looks good m8.

So it came as individual squares rather than a body wrap?

Do you think it would be ok to polish?

[dips346]

looks nice
you love using your smiley

[snoops]

thats awesome

[Nadeem]

dips... don love smileys
camshaft...it did come in a body wrap which is how I fitted the first part on the bonnet...but when it came to the side...the body wrap doesn't handle the curves too well so in order to avoid loads of air bubbles and constant re-arranging...it was easier to remove the individual squares from the body wrap and stick them on one by one(hence my little mistake towards the front )...once you've done the bonnet, you've gained some experience in doing them and you also now have a guide to follow for the side...hope that makes sense

Simple but effective..spot on.

Cool - so can it be polished? Would you end up with a white edge?

That looks mega, I'm guessing it was from the guy on R3Vltd.

Good choice of colour. not too ott.

[jaistanley]

Really like it.

I want silver on my lasch silver 325i for the subtle look too now .

Perhaps I'd loose the M stripes on the kidney though but thats only preference eh..

Jai
