The M3 Photo Thread

[R.A.G]

Just finished the exterior mods to my M3.

Wheels painted gloss black
80% window tints
Stick on number plates

Looks good, although I'd be expecting a pull for those front window tints.

How did they tint the back window, did they tint up into the roof or just the lower half?

The number plates looks so much better! Were the supplied ones easy to remove?assume it's effectively stick back plastic for the plates? Can you link to where we can get hold of them?

Where did you get your stick-on plates from if you don't mind me asking? Were the original plates/casing easy to remove before installing these? It looks really clean! Very nice

Having its ceramic coating applied after a good polish.
I’d say it’s as good as new, but I think it’s actually better than new

The front windows aren't tinted, I just think it's dark inside the car so they look tinted in the photo.

The back window was tinted in one piece, although the guy fitting it really struggled with it and there is a small crease in it. My business partner is having his tinted at a different place and they are going g to fit it as two pieces. If they do a better job than mine then I'm going to ask them to replace mine.

I bought sticker number plates from pro plates. They were around £23 for the pair but in hindsight I should have got a rigid plastic rear plate. Both plate brackets were easy to take off. You prise the top corners apart and the front folds down allowing you to take the number plate out. You can then see and undo the two screws holding the bracket to the car. The front left two screw holes that some people just leave but I filled them in with glue so there was some support behind incase a jet washer got too close. The stick on plate was then easy to fit. Once you take the rear plate and carrier off you are left with a large recess so you wouldn't be able to use a sticker number plate. I just used the original plate and stuck it on with double sided tape then put the sticker number plate on top of that. It was an identical size so you cannot tell it's not one plate.

Thanks for the info, I got both as you did and will do the same. At least if I stick that on the original plate it will at least look consistent with the front.looks much better either way

Wokingham I presume? Have the doughnut marks in the gravel gone yet? Not mine - wouldn't risk scratching the paint.

Definitely even better than new!

You mean something that you don't want, and isn't a Model-3 ?
