      Agreed, colour coded maybe, I still love the vehicle though, if them coatings started to fail in six months or so could look like a scruffy car very quickly but I’m older and too sensible to look past that.

    • @smithyhouses100

      I agree, that boot spoiler could actually be creating drag instead of increased downforce unless the car has been tested in the windtunnel.

    Hi Joe after watching Dave and seeing over last few months how successful he has been with making his changes I hope you have the same success, think he tends to just out source the work on his apart from maybe internally changing the grilles , but if you can do it internally why not , very best of luck watch this space 👍🏻

  • @Sean-gj3ef

    Pop the exhaust tip on it and I think it will appeal to the customers you have in mind. Alloys wouldn't have been my choice but personal preference and you have data from your co-host to support the decision. Hope it sells quick 💥🏎️💨

    Looking good Joe, Im a fan of Pimping stock up a bit thats not selling,>Its a really hard one to call but up here (Scotland) and where I am some times its a step too far. For example, Black wheels seems to put people off but going from a standard 16, or 17 inch to an 18 or 19 seems to work (specifically on Audi and VW stock which is pretty much what I sell.

  • @PL-fj4uq
    @PL-fj4uq Місяць тому

    Enjoyed the video - I think black wheels (maybe even the OEM ones in black) and blacked-out chrome would have done, but like you said, won't suit everyone. I'd skip the splitter/diffuser. The spoiler is probably ok. I only think this because people will look at that and think it's been ragged around and/or an ex-dealer's car.
    What's the deal with the Taycan in the background - didn't see a video about it? Is one upcoming?

Mate you got any BMWs running 18s because I have a nearly brand new set of msw74 gloss blackwith Michelin pilot sport 4s (1mm used and BMW spec ones with star) that I had on my 4 series before I sold it and they’re just sitting around right now. I paid nearly 2k for both together but would be open to offers over 600 which imo is well worth it because they transform the car. I could even drop them off.

    For a more OEM+ look I'd have had the trim vinyl wrapped in gloss black as that matches the OEM option. I'd have also opted for a smooth rounded boot lip spoiler rather than the one with the cutout as it looks a bit tacky in comparison.

    I am rather partial to the all black look which is how my current BMW is. Me personally would have gone with genuine Audi wheels and either had the originals done or found a used set and got them refurbed and done in black , however those Fox wheels are nice. Looks really smart , certainly has presence but whether it will help it sell you just never know. It’s a good experiment for you and we may well be seeing some more blacked out examples at Berrow Motors soon. 👍

    Joe, have a look at FullDip. Works the same as plastidip but you can get it in metallic colours and either leave as is for a matte or satin finish or they do 2 gloss products. One is like Glossifier and the other is a bit trickier but better gloss and solvent resistant, Would be a little harder to peel off but doable. “super acrillo barniz” Spanish brand so I’ve probably misspelled it, best practice is to wait 24 hrs after the colour before spraying or it may react in my experience 👍🏼
