Just had my rocker panels painted, what do you think?

Hi everyone,

I just had my rocker panels and the bottom of the rear apron painted to match the body colour,. It's not an M-Tech sideskirts install but Alpina didn't adopt that until a few years later for the very few last B10s so I didn't want to go that far. The original scheme is in my signature picture below for comparison.

I like it but haven't quite decided what I think of the rubber mouldings at the door sills being in black. It might be a little "stripey". What do you guys think of the look?

Enjoy!

Looks great! Any chance you can give us your procedure for stripping off & prepping the black rocker area?

It looks awesome. I bet it drives as good as it looks too...

I love it. Keep it with the strip!

The local BMW-authorized paint shop owed me a favor, so I must admit I didn't do it myself.

Enjoy,

Why not the lower door strip as well while you were at it?
