Why don't you photoshop it first?

Above all else, do what makes you happy sir, as its your ride after all... You don't strike me as someone who follows the masses anyhow... Bow down

Thanks for the input, and I would PS it if I could Wink
I was hoping someone had a pic or something that would give me a hint in what direction to go, most times I'm very sure of my own "taste" but it's always nice with some input Thumbs Up
I've done gloss black accents on other cars that I've had before and I think it adds to the overall appeal it looks newer somehow but that might not be the case with the FF, the new one looks great with it I think, so.. are there any Pohotoshop gurus around here? Bow down

Why not buy a roll of cheap black gloss vinyl and stick it on to see how it looks. If you like it, you can either go for full on painting or high quality vinyl ?? If you don't like it the cost of the cheap vinyl isn't a big loss Smile MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

There is one rule about L322 mods : do not touch the pillars - plain and simple!

Certainly do not paint it any other colour than black, the design works because of the floating roof.

Gloss black works on the L405 and Evoques because the where designed this way.

if you start doing so on a L322, you'll see that it can not be done correctly : the D pillar mocks a longer rear window (the rear window shape is embosed in the D pillar), and follows the rear window upper and lower rubber trims: this means in you make the D pillar shinny, the visual effect of the rear window is wasted and the rubber trims now pop-out like zits.

Ditto with the A pillar, shiny A-pillar will contrast with the front door's pillars etc.

The only thing you could do to enhance you L322 is to bring the door handles and the aftermarket side fin/vents to the bodyshop for colour coding. Thumbs Up

or paint/wrap it another colour like you did on your yellow BMW, when (if) you get tired of if Thumbs Up

With all due respect I can't see how relevant pictures of tuned BMW's are to this site. One OK but 23 of them + one of a beautiful Ford Escort! Please! You're on the wrong forum! Moderator please?

I took a black and white concept from the L405 and it works very well, never seen another and everyone likes it even main stealer wanted to buy it.

Thanks for the input guys, IF i try this I would off course make all door pillars and matte rubber around rear windows gloss aswell, as for the Bmw pics I apologies and hope that none has gotten any permanent damage Very Happy
JOKER; if you find those plastic bits it would be interesting to see how they look on the other side.
As for the L405 rebuild I think I'd rather buy one Shocked 2010MY TDV8 Vogue Nara bronze / Arabica, Ivory. VW Amarok 2013 180 auto

Very nice. Wanted that colour but the internal committee (Wife!) said no. Opted for Stornaway just as happy.

Nara Bronze is one of those colours that looks fantastic but you just can't described it to anyone and make it sound nice!! 405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus
93 RR Classic efi

Remember it's easier to get forgiveness than permission!

Gone in order:
4.4 TDV8 SE - gone to a good home
93 Classic hard dash Plymouth Blue
03 L322 Oslo Blue
2000 Disco TD5 ES Epsom Green
98 P38 Rioja Red
89 Classic Cairngorm Brown
