Car looks great. Not sure how I feel about the stripes yet though.

[e30austin]

Looks very nice, sans stripe. I would do a light tint and smoke the headlights, to follow with the whole theme of the shadowline trim of the 318is.

[Wild Ride]

Also consider painting the brake ducts black. Maybe do it in electrical tape or plasti dip to test out the look.

Yeah I'm not 100% on the stripes either. But they come off easily enough....

[bmw325csi]

Black brake ducts look great, you won't regret it. It's just the right amount of contrast for the front end.

[iSOregon]

those fresh lights make a big difference

[ZoomZoomBoom]

Looks nice, and I agree that it's probably better without stripes, and the black brake ducts would probably have good contrast.

[Holland]

More of the Rover.

[SeatownE30]

Looks good! Keep the stripes for now, nice to see some variety.

Get an IS lip and paint it black

[Pipes]

You asked for it.

[rhE-30]

Tint the stripes with a shade of black, never seen that before.

[ST1G]

Pips looking great! I'd black out the ducts as well.

Is your KTM SM'd?

Painted the valance and ducts

I bought a rattlecan of AWII, masked off the nose & wheels, took apart the valance and painted it in place. Also painted the brake ducts and used the drivers side foglight blank as a scoop to feed cold air up to my intake using 3" black resin pipe. Next up: wheels and tires.
