What a mod...so subtle but such a difference...

So im a huge fan of the f06. I look at a lot of them and usually white. I recently came across this puppy where the owner wrapped the interior of the front bumper in black. This gives the effect of having larger scoops. At first i thought it was a different bumper. Its not. Just wrapped. I will be doing this when i get my f06! What do you guys think...

Looks good, I would think that only works on lighter colored cars like the white. On my deep sea blue metallic not sure it would make such a difference.

I like that look a lot. I'm gonna figure out how to do this to my 650ix. Just ordered the vinyl to do it. Thanks!

You will probably want to do the grille slats as well at a minimum (thats what I did) or all the chrome on the grills to match the look. I am thinking of doing it on my Deep Sea Blue, lets see how this turns out
