Santorini Mods, Pure with Black trims and Black Wheels (Style 4 powdercoated) - chicagorre - 15-04-2013 04:31am
It could be called a Purenamic or a sort of DIY Black Pack. Really I just looked at a bunch of pictures and opted for some quick not too costly mods. I’m putting a lot of pictures here because I had scoured the forum and other sites to find images that would give me ideas of what I would want and I hope these photos can serve for others in the same fashion. I am including before pictures for comparison and a bunch of after pictures. I had limited time to wash the car today and ran out tire cleaner, so yes it will look a little better when the tires are clean.
So here is a list of what was done:
*Style 4 wheels were powder-coated gloss black from the Sparkling finish
*Grille painted Santorini (from Atlas)
*One bull bar on front grill and front skid plate painted Santorini (from Atlas)
*All mesh on front bumper painted Santorini (mesh behind fog lights, mesh between bull bars (from matte plastic)
*Side vents painted Santorini (from Atlas)
*Atlas trims on bottom door (sidesills) painted Santorini
*Trunk strip (waist rail?) painted Santorini from Atlas
*Rear bumper bottom trim (skid plate?) painted Santorini form Atlas
*Mud flaps (front and rear OEM)
Cheers!

chicagorre, Thanks for the pictures. I want to wrap some grey parts of bumpers and seeking out images how it would look like. Now it is clear to me.

I thought about it but am done for mods right now. Going to let a little time pass to see if there are more changes I want to make. I do not want to go extreme and black every single part of the car out including lights etc. What I have done is a pretty big change for me coming from a silver BMW e90 and silver Mini Cooper. Really like the look so far, but man black cars are hard to keep clean

Those indicators spoil the look of the headlights......other than that looks good.

I think you will find that is because the US Spec is different to the UK.

Correct, unfortunately amber reflectors/signals required here so European specs are clear. Same with my previous BMW compared to the EU version
