Same here just finished Chrome Delete.

Painted the front grill. Powder coated the rims, replaced all the trip. Though mine was not all chrome, it was this ugly stainless steel.

760 😱. What a beast. Looks way better that that silver colour they use on 760. Wheels look sweet too. Are you thinking of tinting orange sidemarker on front bumper?

Thanks for the recommendation on tinting the orange side market. Do they have a clear lens or how do you actually tint it?

You can either use a vinyl tint which keeps the reflector functional and legal. Here is a link to vinyl tint.
VViViD Smoke Black Adhesive... https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07G8PWGJY?...p_mob_ap_share

Other option is just to black it out using high gloss black vinyl wrap. Heres a link too.
Black Gloss 5ft x 1ft Vinyl Wrap Roll with Air Release Technology https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00FXY7W9U/..._FnS4Cb5C7HHNJ

Blacking out sidemarker very easy. Just preclean area with degreaser to ensure a good stick, apply vinyl as i did in photo. With a heat gun preferably or hair dryer, apply heat, massage out any air bubbles, work edges and carefully trim out sidemarker. Use small blade or knifeless vinyl tape to cut out and your done. Very easy pieces to do.

Did you wrap the chrome trim on the door handles? Any peeling issues?

I Cf wrapped all the handles. One handle lifted a touch when i was washing car. Microfiber towel got caught under and lifted corner. Now im just careful when drying handles. Sticking with air blower 🙈. Will peel it back and redo at end of season. Took under 5 mins per handle. Very easy and cheap to redo.

Why did you badge your car as a m760i with v12 badges when clearly you drive a 750i with v8

Did you ever do this for your Singapore Grey car?
I’ve Magellan Grey and am thinking of doing the same, I’d love to see a grey car with this done.

Do it, can't go wrong with black on grey. I don't know if this helps. This is my old F10. Space grey and I did gloss black and CF accents.
