Finally fitted my OEM CF lip for OEM stock bumper.
I know a drop and wheels are needed and are next on the list.
I plan to powder coat the wheels I currently have, and drop it on H&R springs (50mm) and space out the rears by 20mm and the fronts by 5mm or 10mm.
Still trying to figure out if I will have any issues with rubbing when turning, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Comments good and bad welcome...

Used a vinyl material similar to the vinyl used to wrap cars but has many holes in it.
It is called FlyEyes and I bought it from www.flyeyes.co.uk

Nice going, Tom! 
I really like this lip - especially, since lately I've been really liking the stock non-M bumper on E60.
Have you considered getting spacers in the back? It would set the wheels better and the whole car will look more "finished"

DIY Shadowline, I redid my vinyl wrapped chrome door trim. Also visible are CF Mirrors, CF Door Pillars and E60.net clings.
I wrapped my roof over 1 year ago and it is still holding up well.

Was a bit of a bitch to put it, you have to remove the whole unit and put them in through the holes left by the dials. I couldn't remove the clear plastic and the odometer reset button couldn't be removed so I had to cut a section off to install it.
I have found CF dials which I will be ordering soon.

i really like what you've done to the roof top. As for the rest of the car I really can't say I like it so much. It's just my opinion - I'm not a huge fan of having CF everywhere.

I think it looks pretty cool man! Good job. Surprisingly really like the lip on the non-M bumber too!
Now, the location you live is absolutely cool and I'm jealous.
