Painted roll bar covers

grboggs · 08-16-2015, 06:09 PM

The silver roll bar covers always bugged me so I painted them the color of the car. Personally I like it! What do you think?

ever since I saw this on a Boxster, I wondered how it would look on the Z4. On the DSB, it looks great!

I just painted mine white the other day. Love it as well.

I kind of like the silver roll bars because they match the silver mirrors (35is) but I have to admit those body-coloured roll bars look good!

keithro · 08-18-2015, 10:12 AM

Painted my mirrors black to match the pillars.

Looks good! I suppose here's an advantage to having a silver Z4...

The white covers do look nice!!

Did the same with my Crimson red over Ivory

IMR · 08-20-2015, 05:22 PM

I have to say, I like them all. A nice but subtle upgrade that helps tie things together while adding a bit of pop.

Thanks! Here's another photo of the car that shows interesting reflections.

BLKz that is a beautiful car. Nice photography too. I thought the sculptured lines only showed up with certain colors like silver.
