My Original Set Up is the same style as your new look, with the following comments.
Your bottom orange section, was that the color when you got it?
Mine was Silver and my bottom back section was also Silver. Bottom sides, all black.
I can sprayed the front and rear silver sections Matt Black while on the car. Am pleased with how it looks. Sorry I cant do Photos am waiting on my son to come home from Uni. to show me how.

Long time back I saw a car that painted the Black Wheel Arch Sections down to the top of the bottom black sections, the same color as the car, like your bottom Orange section matching your car.
Looked good to me also because all the black was inline along the bottom.

My Roof Rails are black and am also thinking about taking off.

Good luck with transforming your new look. Keep us informed.
I did have silver sections like any other X Line would, I just didn't like the silver at all. I traded the panels with a member here.

The orange piece on the bottom of the bumper was originally silver, but I had the body shop paint it to match.

I don't know how much of a job it is to take off the roof rails yet. I figure I'll find out soon enough.

So why did I buy the X-Line when I didn't like the silver bits? Two reasons - 1. It's loaded with every option possible since it was a BMW exec car, and 2. It was priced like a base line model. So I make it work.
