Painted US Trunk/Plate Filler

[bmwstephen]

Does anyone have their trunk/plate filler color matched with the rest of the body? I'm specifically looking for the US spec

Interesting. I don't think that would look that great sort of like the faux taillight fillers but then why get a filler at all if you're going to paint it bodycolor?

[bmwstephen]

good question. I guess I just want to bring out the license plate area and make it blend it with the surrounding area (which is why I opt for the US version and not the euro one). just a thought of course

early or late model car ?

late model (my mistake)

that'd be a bit weird, i think. i know there are those ones that are red so it looks like an extension of the taillights.

either way i'm definitely on the euro filler or no filler bandwagon.

There is a green coupe on the boards that has the euro filler painted to match...Looks fantastic!

Ive thought about doing this same thing for my cabrio using my us version. I choose neither and ran naked on the cabrio and black for the coupe. I wouldn't mind seeing a painted one though.

Could look nice. What color is your car?

found this pic in my e30 folder.. (not my car) was posted on r3v a number of months ago

^ that doesn't look too bad. Thank you Simon

I'm in the process of repainting my car to sterling silver. I'm grabbing all the things I want painted now since it'd be cheaper

[mikeedler]

the germans like to paint the euro fillers the color of the car-- I have no pics but e30.de has tons. looks good i think.

sterling silver is going to need contrast to really look sharp. Go ahead and try it but I bet you'll want to redo it black later.

IMO US plate fillers always look like shit. so i wont coment on colored vs black. pics i found of the black US plate filler on a silver with regular then smoked lights.

I always liked the filler and still do. The white one looked great and black is fine as well. IMHO.

Dont be hatin .... be paintin
