Looks great - earth shattering to me! I would love to have the M-aero kit but don't dare spend the money at this time.

That looks absolutely fantastic! Excellent job. One quick question, for the rims themselves how much lighter are the 166's compared to your original 124's? I've put non-RFT's on my 124's, and it's an appreciable improvement, was wondering how much additional difference the 166's might make in terms of weight reductions. The RFT tires themselves are unbelievably heavy!

Thanks for the compliment. Had any luck unloading your OEM bumper and side skirts?

The car looks great!
As an aside, when you got them to retrofit the M kit, did they change the plates underneath the doors? My non-sport kit has door sills with BMW on it, but I know the sport models down under have the M sport logo on their door sills. I'm just curious whether they change when you get the M kit or whether you had to buy and install them separately?
