Nice, are you waiting for the summer to put them on?

in either case the lip itself is nice, aside from the finish
A little cf here and there is alright, but it gets super tacky when it's overdone..reminds me of Hondas and rice burners. I personally would not put any cf on a BMW, but to each his own. As long as you like it

I like it and no doubt you are going to pay the price for a hard to find part thats gonna make your car different from all the rest. To many people have the same bodykit. This is gonna make your car stand out. If I had the money and found that lip somewhere Id go the same route as you but painted. Looks great keep it up

I'm waiting a few months to get winter out of the way before I buy wheels. Also gives me a chance to get back on track financially with the new job.

I can give you the contact I bought it from if you like?

Over the weekend I have tinted my tail lights and indicators with a Fly Eyes kit (http://www.flyeyeskit.co.uk/) and installed white LEDs in my interior.

He's gonna have to sell a lot of tubes and cables for that Besides, I know he's saving up for a Gucci car wrap


Tom, Kahn RSX's are really hot - if you're definitely getting 20's, get those! I love BBS, but CH don't look as good as Kahn RSX
