Well done sir on the black mirror caps. Goes really well with the blue exterior!

Training session for my wife:

Yes, at the bottom of each door handle.

Actually they’re on the inside of the handle.

one more missing piece. boomerangs will go out to IND for painting in 4-5 days if I can figure out how to properly remove them. not sure how my car looks so clean, it hasn't been hand-washed in months, just car washes.

IND parts, 15mm H&R spacers. I think I'm all done with mods for this car.

Bought and installed these. Sorry for the crappy pictures. Not the best fit though.

I don’t know what to do about my “boomerangs” (still not sure why people are calling them that), I kind of want them to match all my other gloss black bits, but I also like that they are a little nod to the M40 original spec.

They’re not going to be easy to change anyway, I can’t paint my originals, they’ll be a bugger to wrap, and replacement ones to paint cost a small fortune!

Interesting that you are removing and sending to IND to be painted. You'll have some big holes up front for a bit, along with some dangling park sensors. Lol.

I’m actually getting getting married and honeymoon so the car isn’t going anywhere for 2 weeks. Will be perfect timing.

Good plan! How much do they charge to paint your own ones?

Hopefully it only takes two weeks!

tuned to bootmod3 stage 1. definitely kicks faster. worth it imo. doesnt feel as laggy as stock. this tune should have been stock for all m40i's. mileage did not suffer neither. in fact it feels its improved but will chalk that as placebo.

in the process of purchasing plate frame and may opt to pay the 650+ for carbon fiber side mirrors

That looks good. Mind sharing details? Where you bought it, how is the installation?

That is the same tune I'd have to go with as well. It's rare to find anything higher than 91 around here in Phoenix and I don't have a DP installed to make use of Stage 2 91 octane. Good to hear you noticed an improvement with the Stage 1 91 octane. I'm really considering it.

It is from a company called RGM in the UK. The item code is RBP682 for the Msports bumper They do carbon and Chrome versions as well. eBay and Amazon have them. Really easy to fit.
