Not so sure about the boot spoiler, it does look good but i think i prefer the M rear spoiler that i already have (personal taste), however i do like the front spoiler & the roof spoiler very much & they look good on a Silver Grey car, as mine is. Did you get the rear lower valance? Is the paint matching perfect?

Paint match is spot on, they use your VIN number to get a match. lower valance is still M sport, I havnt gone quad zaust
I've no intention of geting a quad exit zorst, as that's far too Max Power for me.
I'll get in touch with the ACS re-seller in Norfolk tomorrow & get prices etc. I could really do with a more local fitter, so i'll also look into that as Norfolk is a little bit too far from Manchester.

The bit I don't like is the big plastic lower grill, not sure what to do with it yet though

I don't think if i went this route, that just the roof spoiler would make enough of a difference. Not interested in the ACS boot spoiler as i like the subtle M-Spoiler & the side skirts on the M-Sport kit, so i'd only consider front spoiler, roof spoiler & perhaps the rear lower valance/splitter, plus of course the grille badge to compliment my new chrome grille

What is it you have on the front, as it appears to be a kind of half spoiler, only accentuating the outer ends of the M-front spoiler.

The differnce is the kit on the website is for a non-sport 5 series so includes a lot more. The car in the pic is a sport so only the "fins" have been added to the bumpers....

You mean the ACS front spoiler??
I'm wondering why the two clip out panels, wonder what else will fit into that space
Time to have a chat with the parts adviser...
My tastes are also for understatement, I couldn't live with corner splitters like Mick's. My wife would finish them off in no time so could also be a bit expensive. Never mind lowering, I'd have to raise it to clear the kerbs!
Like the roof spoiler.
