Painted my brake calipers, now I am getting ready for the G-Power!!!
Just wanted to share that I painted my brake calipers red in while I have been awaiting for my first M3 mod. I am buying the supercharger from Am1r tomorrow and will be attempting an install sometime this week. These pictures are a tiny bit old as there is curb rash on the rims from the previous owner and I just got all 4 wheels fixed for $250 bucks. I shall update some more pictures with the clean wheels soon.
While I was at it I made some bumper plate hole fixes as the car was owned in a state that required front plates. This is the supercharger I will be installing this week. Last edited by DATM3; 11-20-2012 at 08:47 PM.. |

I was thinking of doing the same on the brake calipers only, it shows better with black ZCP's and SGM. It does look somewhat out of the ordinary, but has good contrast somewhat

I'd rather run plates than bumper plugs. Just drawing more attention that you have holes in your bumper.

I went to O'Reilly's and bought a pack of 4 plastic plugs (2 bucks) and just painted it with my touch up paint kit. You can get the OEM touch up kit on ebay for like 25 bucks shipped.

OP, try and get the alignment alittle lower on the intercooler pipework when you come to install it, it looks like the orginal S/C owner is getting some rub from the hood on those pieces.....
