White X1 help
Hey guys,
I just got a new white X1 and i was looking at some pictures of X1s with all the lower black plastic parts painted. I liked but I not sure if it is a good idea. I'd like to hear your opinions. Thanks |

You are likely to need a special paint preparation to make sure the paint adhere to the plastic properly. This is not a DIY project but a paint shop can probably achieve this. It might means to remove the trims as well.

Not aware of many that have been painted. Are you not referring to the M-Sport version of the X1? This has the lower panels in body colour. The kit is available from BMW as an aftermarket fitting.

If you look at my post Not for the Squeamish you will see that I carried out an MSport modification to my 23SE. There isn't an MSport package as such but your dealer should be able to order the parts. I listed all of the parts required on another post in response to a similar question. Whichever way you go I think that you will get a better result by removing the plastic parts first. Also if your car does not have lowered suspension and 18" or 19" wheels it may look a little odd, but of course that's a personal opinion. You may also like to look at the AC Scnitzer website for inspiration Last edited by Mulberry; 12-13-2011 at 02:57 AM.. Reason: error |
