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.

Have you considered getting spacers in the back? It would set the wheels better and the whole car will look more "finished"
Sorry V, I didn't see this reply when I checked earlier.

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.

Everybody is welcome to their opinion, whether they like it or not are both appreciated

Now, the location you live is absolutely cool and I'm jealous.
Thanks, I like it as well.
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.

Roveractive, he has a website and is also on eBay. (He seems to have changed his name to euroactive now)

Thank you, if we all liked and disliked the same things, this world would be a boring place and we would all drive cars that look the same

All in all with shipping from the US to Cyprus + import tax it came to around $1200. I think you can get in the US for $849? See above link.
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 which is the reason why I didn't get the M-Tech kit.

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

Thanks Antti, the eyebrows do look better in real life.
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.
