Great minds think alike and we all have preferred vendor, yup, its Fong Kim!
Well, I was also hesitated to do my roof, at the thought that its only stickers, i did it. Don't like it, take it off.

Haha... Stick it n tear it off? I was told paint work will b alright, but depending on how long it's stickered, the paint work will be different, ESP on white. Btw, how they stickered ur antenna? Is it single piece? Did they take it out? I dun like 2 piece, nt so nice. Coincidently, I'm a Sim too.

I didn't really pay attention to how they stick it. But they did not remove the antenna during the job.

for roof applications, best to wax the surface before applying vinyl, else its a good practice to replace that every 8-10mths, the roof receive the most amount of exposure from the sun and over time, removing the roof vinyl might affect the paintwork as well.

Single pc on the roof, only a slit to accommodate antenna. Antenna can be wrapped on its own but watch the edges, usually over time it might peel off. Happened to my previous ride.

Re: My F30 Mod today

i picked up my F30 las sat noon...so didnt realli test out the wipers til the heavy storm yesterday.....but the wipers were realli rough and juddering badly especially the wiper at the driver side...seems like its gonna fall off anytime....arranged to go service centre to get them changed out but while on the way to PML, i was caught in the rain again...and this time.......the wipers just keep going and going and will not stop.....even after i parked my car and turn off everything at the service bay, the wipers just kept on going................. tot can get back my car on the same day but the service manager told me that the wiper head unit has malfunctioned......and they will need to get the parts from Germany which will take another 2 weeks..........zzzzzzzzzzzz
at least my SE was very patient and understanding....gaf me a loaner of the same model to tide me through this period...but nonetheless...i wasnt expecting such QC problems from BMW......drive 4 days....gonna wait for parts for 2 weeks......

Wow! Just for the wiper unit they gave you a loaner ah? Meaning also you got to leave yr car there for 2 weeks? I agree with you on the quality of the F30, not fantastic : (

My wiper seems to have same problem as you've described.

hi simville,

the first picture is rear bumper guard. Which i found in your link bimmian.com where u got the carbon overlay.
Rear Bumper Guard For BMW 3 Series Sedan - 2012+ - F30 From Bimmian.com - Bimmian.com. Only difference, its clear coat here. (Its very thick).

I did all at JJ Decal - http://www.facebook.com/JJDecalHub?ref=ts
I may be back tomorrow to explore if it is possible to wrap the trim with buttons.
Can you give me your opinion, i think this grey (sticker) is rather out of sort. I am thinking of changing to black carbon print.
JJ has many other stickers to choose.

I asked Boss, they said they can bring it in but non LTA approved. Frankly we need more than 10 orders before a vendor will consider sending in to LTA for approval process. As individuals, we can send in for acceptance too, problem is BMW is a European ride and require TUVs and Americans dun care abt that hahahahhaa I've never seen their products from AWE, Agency Power etc being approved. Too bad. Such a nice sounding xos!

This is the reply that i got:
Thank you for your interest in our GTHAUS Meisterschaft BMW F30 328i 4x90mm (Round Split) GTS (SUS) exhaust system. Shipping to Singapore is $493.29 which brings your total to $2491.29 shipped. Our 4x90mm exhaust system for the BMW F30 328 will require slight bumper modification.


How much will boss be selling it if we get from them?
