I thought troopers were emotionless... but this one was so dirty I saw tears, followed by bleeding wheels, but happy to be clean!

Edit... and the app put the clean on first... of course!

Hi folks, new owner of a Alpine White 430i Gran Coupe.

How are you guys going about and making your side vents black? Plasti Dip or wrap? And if it was wrapped, did you do it yourself or pay (and how much) for a shop to do it?

Thanks!

For myself, my car was Black Sapphire Metallic before I wrapped the car white. Some people order gloss black vents, actually I think that's what most people do. Alternatively you could order the carbon fiber ones!

Is it easy to replace the vents with new ones? I'm worried about breaking something

Thanks for the link. The thought of breaking one of the clips stresses me out. If it really is that easy, I'll just replace them instead of wrapping.

It's pretty discreet, I would leave it. Then I would add lots of options!
