*PIC REQUEST* Painted OEM SPLITTERS (not molded)

Tried to search but only saw a few random examples - thought I would try for a dedicated thread.

I have a MW E92 and I'm not huge on the black and white contrast on the OEM splitters.

Any pics are much appreciated.

(if you're bored and/or feel like being a thread-jacker, feel free to post pics of any other paint-matched mods )

MW is one of the toughest colours to match.
I would leave the CF splitters as is.

Getting the sense you're bang on when it comes to MW and paint matching.

IMO, I think the black and white contrast works much better with a lip than the splitters.

Just have to decide if I want to have a concrete-plow or not.

Here is one without it painted, a PS of the image will give you an idea how it will look...

Here we go, not MW , but i think silver or grey, but again gives you a better idea on how it will look...
http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=513646

I think have them painted MW will be good...in terms of paint matching IND just did a grill and side marker and M3 badge...

Don't get me started...I'm working in Sauga for 5 months so my work rented me a Chrysler 200 to commute. The only enjoyment I get from that car is the ability to punch the gas when I hit that speed bump.

Preaching to the choir. Firm's policy is if you take your own car, it's $0.48/km - which is akin to assuming I drive a Geo Metro. However, they're willing to spend $1,400 / month to rent me a shitbox AND pay for every ounce of gas.

Plus, I'm not too fond of the outdoor parking lot at where I'm located for the next few months. Causing door dings is hobby for these people.

...somehow I still managed to drive 2,200 km in 3 weeks on the M.
