[Sold] 'GR3MLIN' - Satin Mineral Grey M3 Build Thread

F82speed · 12-07-2014, 04:34 PM

NIIIIICE!! MG with the satin bra looks great man!

I've been planning to look into something similar to matte the grey on mine. Not nearly as many good vendors here in Denver area as there is in SoCal, but this motivates me to get serious. (I should have my MG in a week or 2, supposed to get to port tonight.)

Car looks awesome man, really looking forward to seeing it with the ONEightys...

I have to say, I am very interested in doing this to my car (satin clear bra).

Does anyone know what an estimate for this would look like on a non-m e92?

I think that my Montego blue color with a satin finish would look amazing, while it still retains the Metalic flakes of the original paint as the OP said it did with his M3.

I remember your e92 thread. Your F80 is coming along nicely. Looks awesome

GOLFFRR · 12-07-2014, 06:16 PM

looks soooo good buddy,

Won't really matter much on if M or not since this isn't really something that is 'm taxed' -- probably be a little less than what I had paid for mine because it's a smaller coupe, I'd say maybe 4k range.

I'd definitely consider it -- I had two reasons for going satin -- my e92 made me love the frozen cars, and either way I was going to clear bra the whole car. I didn't just want to do the front end because it'd cause the paint to wear differently across the car.

Looks great Josh, glad you're enjoying my late F80

flyga3 · 12-07-2014, 08:56 PM

Extremely classy! The grill strips are perfect!

Luminor513 · 12-07-2014, 11:40 PM

That's my favorite color on the F80 and the matte wrap makes it look even better. Looks great

alvinabed · 12-08-2014, 12:12 AM

Being fat, making a late night sprinkles run.

Cool grills stickers, bro.

Where did you get them? How much? Are they ebay?

I get upset over things I can't afford also, maybe one day you'll be able to afford your own F80.

YMB_F80 · 12-08-2014, 02:50 AM

Damn you should have gone to the Motor4Toys event today!! Would have loved to see it, Managed to see Speeddistrict, Mcorsa, and Gintani's m3/m4s! Haha yeah!! Suppose to have a exhaust meet up sometime soon tho!

pgviper · 12-08-2014, 07:12 AM

Beautiful Car!!!

Have you decided on tire yet?

If you are primarily interested in drag strip racing then I would steer away from the Trofeo R's. Check out the z/28 forums on Camaro5, people praise them for their lateral grip but when it comes to launching from a dig they don't have the best reviews.

Thank you RR! I contacted a local vinyl shop near me for a price estimate and it's about what you told me. I will be stopping by sometime next week to throw on a sizable peace to get a jist/feel of how it will look. Regardless, I will be doing this after a paint correction by my detailer in the summer! Once again, thanks for the info and definitely cant wait to see what else you have in store!

I didn't even know about it -- I'm horrible at keeping up with shows, primarily because I'm never awake at 6am. I wake up at 10 and the event is practically over, lol.

Thank you; going to look into that, I didn't even think to check Camaro forums now that the Z28's are running them. I'm probably going to go with the R888's, only thing really holding me up now is that I'm debating going with aftermarket wheels now to run wider rubber.

Thank you. That guy was epic, lmao.

Put myself down to get one of the first Active Autowerke 3" turbo-back systems also; going to give that a run instead of doing custom fab. After rolling around with my valves closed yesterday I decided I may not want to go muffler-less just yet, which is what I would've fabricated.
