Default coming soon, pink calipers :(

So I convinced my wife to trade in her 2010 BMW Z4 with 42000 miles in along with my Ram pickup on my new M4, since she only drives the Cayenne anymore. After I told her my new front CF BMW OEM spoiler cost 1500, she insisted I do something to make the cayenne 'hers', so pink calipers it will be. (Airline captain and professional powdercoater here).
bye bye lambo orange


Trying to tell her as long as we are doing it, we should get the rear badges and exhaust tips the same.

Her donation to the cause:


and my new daily!

The indignities we suffer to accommodate our spouses... Thankfully they put up with us in return!

Do something about those amber reflectors while you're at it.

Congrats on the new ride. She will look fantastic in that car and my wife would be totally into that.

I wouldn't do the tips, but go for it on the rest.

My wife painter her Big Red calipers white on her pink pearl 997 and then we used heat resistant vinyl decals in a font she chose for the Porsche script.

Yup, that one is likely a wrap and about the only pink color available in vinyl wrap material when we wanted to get her a 997 and make it pink. Took hers all apart and had it painted - that was about 4 years ago. The base color is actually that type of pepto bismol pink with multiple coats of the pearl over it. It's actually really pretty in person and the color changes a little in different lighting, sometimes looking more pink and other times more white.

Just be glad the requirement isn't for your M4 to have the pink calipers

Giddy-up. Might as well throw on some braided stainless lines upon reinstallation too

Maybe I am in the minority, but they look pretty good against the black. You do nice work and as the saying goes, "if momma is happy, everybody is happy"!
