CF advice

Hi all,

I have a silver 135i, I have ordered the BMW Performance Rear CF spoiler, and Kerscher front CF lip. I will eventually get VMR V710 matte black rims.

Does anyone on here have the CF kidney grills or CF slip on mirrors? It would be great to see them on a silver 135.

How do they look on the car?

I don't think I'm a fan of the matte black kidneys. I have seen some where the silver of the kidney grill is painted to match the car - which might be another option.

thanks

I have matte black grilles on mine with a gloss black roof.

I think it looks ok. The front is separated from the shadowline trim so it doesn't misfit

There are gloss black grills that match the shadow line trim as well. Wish I knew what BMW made them out of because it is the only thing on the car that doesn't get water marks on it if not dryer with a chamois.

Not sure about the gloss black, thinking of getting them with the surround painted silver to match the car colour.

the gloss looked better than I expected :thump:

Is your rear spoiler a black or the CF one?
How much was the rear defuser? (if you don't mind me asking?)

cheers

Hey moocow
Spoiler is cf
Got the diffuser from another forum member but he said it cost him about 120-150 to get painted at a body shop,if you were in brisy you could borrow my old one while you had yours painted,however I am sure ther are some forum members who have got one in melb lying around that you can use?
