Since you gone black (there’s no going back I hear) then I’d tint the windows from B post back

Noooo! Please, no! ;)
If there was one thing I really wish I could change on our estate, it's the blacked-out windows. I think they spoil the styling of the car.

I can see your point in not liking too much chrome or the chrome/satin conflict but for me I’d have to cover the lot, I have only seen a 212 e estate done that way and it did look truly amazing

I think chrome works well with black. A chap who lives opposite me has an S63 coupe in black, but he has dechromed eveything, even the badging. He has black wheels too.

Sounds lovely :cool::cool::cool::cool:

Would like my chrome wrapping, tough to find someone down here that has the expertise to do it

I appreciate it's a bit of a trek JB, but Polished Perfection in Plympton looked to have a useful set up. Does the full works of detailing, from correction to ceramic coatings & PPF.

He may well do wraps for trim parts...

There is a place in Exeter called Wrap Capital who are supposed to be excellent

Hmmm. Seems the rear wheels need rebalancing. Again. I think it might be slipping the tyres on the rims.

I'd fancied popping a Pan Americana grille on the car. It's the one the facelift model has. Might not be to everyone's taste, but I like it.

Car is great - you’re right the Pan Americana grill isn’t everyone’s taste , not for me personally but it’s the current trend- BMW are currently copying too
