I have black wrapped calipers on my arctic metallic e90. Anything other than black or silver doesn't compliment this beautiful color IMO . The wrap is reflective but it appears silver when the light hits it at night. I was unsure if i would like the reflective look but its really subtle and looks great.

Gun metal gray metallic + ///M decal + clear coat.

Wait you can wrap calipers? Doesnt the vinyl melt with all the heat? o.O

Seattlesquash · 08-14-2015, 08:35 PM

No they make high temp wraps now, however takes some skill to do a good job. About $300 for all 4 I heard, at least here in Dallas.

Cutchy · 08-15-2015, 01:59 PM

update got me car booked in on wed to get roof,spoiler and front grill wraped in gloss black, and get the bmw three colour stripe on grill and then get calipers done in black with the m decal on same as thkfast pic 👍

335commuter · 08-15-2015, 02:42 PM

Unless you have fixed calipers, anything other than a darkish grey of black looks kind of ricey.
