Nice job. Way to go your own way! I really like the CF front lip. Changes the whole car for the better.

if you don't mind me asking how much did the lip run you. It looks really good in your pics, I was questioning its looks when I saw it in the bmw brochure.

I am considering spacers in the rear but I want to lower it first, I am thinking H&R springs (50mm drop) My only concern is that the front may be too low and rub when I turn the wheels.

Cyprus is a nice place to live, better than the UK anyway

I think they look better now that I have the lip on, before it didn't quite look right.
Thanks, I didn't expect it to make as much difference as it has. I am really happy with it.

I think it would look awesome on your car, it would suit the mods you have already.
I know it is lot for such a small part, I probably could of got the replica M-Tech kit for that price and made my car look like everyone else

This is a discontinued part, BMW do not make it any more and I couldn't find it anywhere in Europe, it took around 2 months for me to find it and another month for it to get shipped due to the weather over Christmas and New Year. All the websites I found it on could not get it.
My local dealer had it listed at 1000 Euros, I paid 850-900 Euros with the shipping and import tax so I am pretty pleased with it.

Looks good Tom!
The lip suits the car and especially the color of your car very nicely. It also supports all the other CF mods. I like them all except the eyebrows. Maybe the pics don't do them justice...
You know what kind of mod would complete the car? Anthracite or gunmetal wheels!

Honestly, Bro, I wouldn't even bother dropping until you get your 20's. For now, put on spacers and you'll fall back in love with THESE wheels

I will most likely get black 20s when the time is right.
I do like these wheels, was considering powdercoating them black and putting spacers.
