![]() I like the new look - what do you folks think? The finish came out very nice, and very smooth. I wet sanded the new grey front covers and painted them satin black enamel - then baked them for a few hours in the oven, wet sanded again to get rid of a few dust bumps, resprayed, and baked again. So I took great care in removing the existing covers, and managed to remove them with only a couple of broken tabs - leaving more than enough tabs functional to securely reinstall them. Retaining my original 'chrome line' covers on the back of the roll hoops I thought would provide a nice match with the current interior, with the 'chrome line' steering wheel inserts and door pulls. ![]() I quite liked it, so thought I'd try something similar on my car to see how it looked. Then while waiting for the parts to arrive, I saw pictures of the covers on the new E89, which had a combination of black and silver/chrome covers. I was thinking of painting the 4 new (grey/silver) covers black, like the covers on the M roadsters. So I ordered the two OEM windblocker fill panels, and also a new set of roll hoop covers. Huge improvement in decreased buffeting, but I wasn't entirely happy with the look -it didn't look complete to me without the fill panels on the roll hoops. Several weeks back I purchased the parts for the factory windblocker 'center section' for my 2006 Z4, and screwed the brackets into the existing roll hoop covers.
