Saw those front splitters online, just wondering after you installed them, you feel or hear anything different?

No noise or vibrations. Biggest complaint with this front lip was the lack of hardware that came with it for installation.

OE reference for "normal" one is 51628075685. This one has to be painted.

OE reference for carbon fiber spoiler is 51628083993.

I put some pics, sorry for the poor light but I was in my garaje.






How easy was it to change them do they just pull out then

Very easy, you just have to pull out the black plastic ones, and push the new ones in their position.

Note that you have to do a lot of force, the first one took me about 5 minutes because I was afraid of breaking something, the second took 5 seconds. I used a couple of plastic levers.

Look at the position of the tabs on the new pieces, and that will help you to know better where you have to force to remove the old ones.

It's a full CF trim central console from a crashed X3M Competition, found it on eBay and bought it for 250€, half the price the OEM part. I gave it to my dealer and they installed it before I picked up the car.

Ya, I have seen them but they aren’t cheap. I’ve wrapped quite a few things so I feel confident I’ll be able to wrap the emblems good and ultimately cost next to nothing being I have the vinyl. If it doesn’t come out as expected, then I’ll buy them lol.

I actually found a black trim overlay being sold on etsy that came from UK and was only $25 so I gave it a chance and it worked out perfectly.

Hi again.

Since the LCI came out, I liked the new color of the M40i rims, changing the cerium gray for black, and taking advantage of the fact that I have fixed some scratches, I have painted them the same. The photos are as soon as I picked it up from the dealer...I'm sure that after detailing the rubber it will look even better.













The next thing will be to vinyl the chrome ring of the button to open the trunk in black.
