To Chrome or Not To Chrome?

IMO the Z3 really suits the chrome pack but for me gills and wheels are a step too far, at the end of the day its your car and do whatever makes you smile when you look at it.

I do like the chrome pack cars. Dark wheels with a chrome ring is all you need though.

But whatever floats your boat

No-one agrees with me wanting a metallic purple car. I’m still going to have one though.

By the way - welcome

Thanks for the welcome Dave!

I need a good look at what’s out there currently. I like the chrome idea but I need to explore all options before picking a route for sure

Love the idea of a metallic purple car!

Not chrome

Just polished lips (aluminium)

Notice I said 'need', not 'want'

Actually in gold they look nice too

These cars and wheels look great too!

PS - Lowered to the floor!

Chrome is good less the wheels IMO.

I'm in the no camp, but it's your car so your decision

Yes, not terribly fetching!

 

[DaveP]

Doesn’t dope mean good ?

I’m going banded steels on mine - better go fetch my coat ....

I think the wheels would look better in straight silver, genuine wheels chromed would look a little too carlos van dango for me

I had the alloys completely refurbished in High Power Silver by The Wheel Specialist near me in Birmingham. I'm made up with the work theyve done and it only cost £259 for all 4.

Next job is respraying calipers!

Will upload a photo when I get a decent one

I think painted inserts with either chrome or polished lips look best. I also like the chrome pack stuff to accent the painted shell shame there was not a chrome 3rd brake light for the pre face lift builds as it adds a bit to the boot. Look forward to the wheel pics as I need a few recommendations for West Midlands North Oxfordshire area.
