Hello guys...
Today i have done a detail, and took some quick pics...
Now the M5-sideskirts are installed too.. The only thing that is missing, is a sports rear bumper...
Perhaps i would go with quads in the near future, so i dont want to buy the m-tech, because the M5 one is so sexy..?!
Have fun watching the pics and tell me what you think...
Best regards...

yes very nice, and i agree wait for the M5 rear bumper, its more beefcake, also you might want to consider to remove the door trim (chrome) and go for gloss black...........i am also in the process of doing this...
get some pictures when you,ve done the next mod............................

I like everything except for the trim and rims. The rims are too small, and with the lip, they look like 17's, not 18's. I think you need at least 19" to make the rest of the ride look proportionate. Aside from that, the ride looks great. What color is that? It looks like silverstone in your pics.

Hello fellow people...
Rims: i know that there would always better choices, but i am with the 18" satisfied, and perhaps next year i would go with oem style 128 in 19"...?!
Rear: i have to look for quads, and then i would buy the M5...
Trim: could it be painted?! or do i have to buy the oem shadow line trim?!

Looks great, aside from all the comments and suggestions it always comes down to your preference. Definitely like the 128 possibility. As far as changing out the trim

this thread mentions a few options..including paint.
