hey guys, my car arrived in my dealer's showroom yesterday. i also ordered chrome door strips, and handles. the car is a BMW 330Ci imola red. its stock, it doesn't have the sports package or ZHP (performance package).
he called me as soon as it arrived there, and i loved the car as is! and i was scared incase the chrome door strips and chrome door handles might make it look ****! and screw up the elegant lines of the car. therefore, i am asking if anyone here could just do a photoshop and make the colour-coded door handles and exterior strip along the doors, into CHROME (the same as around the windows on the exterior. i took a pic of the car, ut it aint great. i was tooo excited and shaky wen i first saw the car. the car is still at the dealer because its still not detailed nor registered.
If anyone out there could do a quick photoshop with the chrome linings, i would really appreciate it, that way i will know if i should go ahead with the chrome, or leave it as is.

NEVER EVER do that!

I have seen many BMWs with chrome door handles and trims in my country. I HATE it so much I want to kill the owners... It makes the car looks sooooooo stupid. Believe me, you're gonna regret it if you do that.

save your money, it would look really cheesy and ugly.

Thanks for the pic Ua3. I am just trying to imagine how it may look on an imola red paint..with the chrome. Does anyone know how to photoshop my pic? or its not possible?

I thought the only red for the 330ci 2004 was Electric Red?? Those a nice M135 wheels man, complete the deal with a rear lip!!!

Dont do it!

Why does that red 330Ci ZHP above have chrome window trim?

the car is a 330Ci Individual. The body kit is standard 3-series coupe. it has Imola Red paint, M135 wheels, sunroof, H&K sound system, alarm, sports suspension, 231hp, 221lb/f engine, 6-speed manual, beige leather, with beige upolstry and mertle wood trim inside. and to top it off, i ordered the chrome door trim and handles..but i told the dealer to hold it off for now, and i may put the on later. the picture was taken, the day it arrived at the dealership. i am picking up the car tomorow morning!!, and i'll have new pics of it if u guys want, sometime tomorow arvo. The reason i didnt get the ZHP package, was coz i didn't like the black roof lining, i wanted it all light-coloured!. i dunno..for me, i prefer the car to look more clasy, without making it look tacky. that is why...i don't know wat i should do with the chrome trim. my dealer said, i can always take them off and put the original colour coded trims back on.
