Aubergine Purple G87 M2 build

I got my G87 manual as an HEA car back in April, coming from manual comp F80. It seemed more natural to go to G87 from F80 than the larger new M3. My rear seats were not getting much use. G87 styling was more appealing.
Loving the car and having tons of fun with the build.

After 6 month of slowly modding my Zandvoort blue M2, I came to the conclusion that the color does not suit me, or the car IMO. I decided to go with something dark and not close to any color offerings on the G87. Was considering dark green, but in the end settled on Gloss Aubergine (fr. eggplant) Purple by Evolv/APA. Very intriguing shade of purple indeed.

Many thanks to TSD Motorsports & Wraps in Hammonton, NJ. They did a tremendous job wrapping the car. I opted to go with full wrap including doorjambs, which is pricey but worth the extra effort, in my opinion. I just didn’t want to see the smurf blue every time I enter the car. Great shop, which I recommend without reservations for any BMW/Supra work or for wraps/PPF. Leo did a meticulous job wrapping the car.
I also had them PPF the CF roof, which was not color wrapped, obviously. Also had them tint the rear lights.

Car has a nice shade of dark purple in the sun, becoming quite sinister dark in the shade and at night. Color pairs nicely with CF bits. RGB DRL are fun to change the feel slightly with different colors, however gimmicky it might be. Chose to wrap front splitter due to underlying small crack. New CF splitter on order, and will decide which I like better.

The car is quick, loud, and awesome. Hope you enjoy.

Here are the mods so far, best I can remember. Your suggestions are welcome. Considering Alpha-n E30 style spoiler with wrapped lower portion, upper left CF. Thoughts welcome.
