Advice on Accent Colors

Southern_Driver · 05-26-2019, 07:22 PM

What is the best accent color for a pre lci artic metallic e90? I really don't like the chrome on the "mustache" or kidney grills and I am thinking of vinyl wrapping them(if I could, I would just do an lci conversion but that's too expensive) I think that silver rims look best with the artic color but I'm not sure about other stuff. what do y'all think black, white, carbon fiber?

Gloss black looks the best imo

I have a blue water metallic lci which is very similar imo to artic. I was also wondering what colors look best.

I'm tempted to order a small sheet of gloss black and another one of carbon fiber to test with my car. It's unfortunate but the few BMW's this color aren't really modded.

Yea I'm not huge on mods either, but I would like a small lip on the trunk.. And it's pricing very difficult to find.

I have the same color and I’m about to install gloss black kidney grills and i’m thinking to order a carbon fiber spoiler in the next month or so!

My Arctic Metallic E92 - I went with a matte/Satin black. I also tinted the tail lights so it looks a bit different now. As far as other mods, I have an M-tech front and rear bumper and trunk lip waiting to be painted.

Looks great! I think I'll probably play it safe and go with gloss black. How much vinyl does it take to wrap the trim around the windows?
