ACSchnitzer time

[drifty325i]

He guys as some of you may be aware im getting some ACS 16in alloys refurbed at the moment,

I also have alot of other acs gear on my car.

Now im just about to order a set of original ACS caps from rossiters in the uk. I just thought why not get the ACS pin strip kit while im at it, they want $79+vat for the original kit? is that a good price?

Also here is a pick of my car, what colour sticker kit do you think would suit my colour best?

Also silver is prob what colour ill do the wheels. thoughts ? or should i do the wheels in anthracite to ?

Sticker kit avalible in anthracite and silver.

Total They are charging me $133.37 pounds all up for 4xacs caps for the wheels, acs sticker pin strip kit, and shiping. is this good? thats like $370 bucks nz money!

Or should i just get copys of the stickers made for half the price? I like the look of the convertable in the pic above but, its slighty to dark for me. Think i prefer a lighter look.

anthracite stickers and wheels. Forgive my ignorance but I'm guessing the car is anthracite? If so, the subtleness of matched stickers and wheels would work well in my opinion.

Nice engine.

Mmmm interesting, Nope the car is cosmos blue with a few added goodies. Deff want to match the wheels and stickers

I'm with simian on this one mate...price wise...it's not too bad...stick with OEM,as replicas generally tend not to last too long or look as good as the real deal...besides,if you're gonna do it,then do it right

[oakey]

price seems pretty fair to me.
i'd go for anthracite stickers and wheels aswell. I just cant picture silver matching very nicely

[oakey]

for comparison- 4 bbs centre caps will cost you more than that brand new

ahh then yes definitely anthracite for both.

[drifty325i]

copies! dont be silly. its all about the original. you pay for what you get with schnitzer( approved bmw tuner ) pay the £79+vat, and marvel at the quality. i have some original schnitzer stripes too! but the b20 dosent bare them.

[CaesarBob]

Definitely go for the anthracite stickers and wheels like the cab. The same car with silver stripes and wheels is not going to look anywhere near as

[drifty325i]

All the americans and germans on other sites are telling me go silver! lol

[drifty325i]

Anyone keen to photoshop? i suck at it

[Morat]

Surely thats all the reason you need to go anthracite? ;)

[tim-ix]

Would you dress like the Americans and Germans?

So don't listen to them. Anthracite won't stand out as much but will be much cooler. If you want to be noticed you can get a neon green Fido Dido from Halfords but if you want to look good keep it subtle.

It's all my opinion and feel free to ignore it if you've set your heart on silver.

[drifty325i]

Lol ill have a think tonight about it tonight. Dam is a hard decision

[drifty325i]

I dont no what the girls are like in the UK but the kiwi girls and german girls go for the flashy classy things

The stripes are on the black s3 from earlia in the thread?
Dominic from rossiters seems like a good bloke, and is very helpfull.

Oh and about the significance of the statement i made about the girls is im a littled worryed from going from flash silver momo gt2s to dark ACS wheels that dont stand out to girls at all thats why im thinking of going a nice glossy silver on the ACS alloys. (i love the ACS alloys by the way)

[miniblob]

Anthracite on both if you ask me!!!!!!

if you want a car that girls like buy a renault megane or pug conv. lol
i still think it will look well flash with anthracite rims and stickers.
or get the lip polished on the rims for a bit of extra flash???

[drifty325i]

RIGHT! Ive change my order to anthracite i hope you guys are right! as its coming from the other side of the world and i cant send it back! fingers crossed here. Ive listen to your opinions over the rest of the world so feel proud

[m3ben05]

I think you made the right choice here mate, im not sure you want to get with any girls you can pull by showing them stripes on your car

[drifty325i]

I know it will look good ether way, it will be more original with the anthracite and more true to the ACS theme. Bugger the girls

[drifty325i]

So here is what my car will look like, but i think mine will look even better to be honest





Who thinks i should shadow line? Anyone who wants to have a go at photoshoping the acs pin strip kit and alloys on ma car can have a go
