My latest carbon fiber addition (rear difuser)

twinturbo135i · 11-23-2008, 08:57 PM

I was finally able to installed my $1400 cosmetic addition to my 135i and I am extremely happy with the results. I took some before and after pictures to add to my photo collection.

first shot is unboxing the diffuser getting it ready. this thing is insanely light.

here's a shot of the stock diffuser already removed and ready for the new look. the stock diffuser was kind of a pain to remove but I was able to do it with no harm to either the diffuser itself or the car. thank God.....

and $1400 later, the finished project. I like it! :w00t:

That gives me the horn!!

gatorfast · 11-23-2008, 10:24 PM

Beautiful! The cf looks perfect on a red car.

135i_TT · 11-23-2008, 10:54 PM

Very Very Nice!
Who did u buy the CF Diffuser from?

arok · 11-24-2008, 01:37 AM

jesus, looks good but $$$$$

adrean8j · 11-24-2008, 07:47 AM

I love the CF diffuser...but jeez...the price is crazy. I really wonder what is taking the aftermarket so long to replicate this thing for a decent price....

FazerBoy · 11-24-2008, 11:47 AM

Very nice indeed!

I've been thinking of getting one of these. Does it come with instructions showing the location of the bolts etc? How long did it take to fit?

Cheers

Jack

Looks great, we just got our first few units of these from BMW Performance and the quality and ease of install is top notch.

modbargains · 11-24-2008, 01:33 PM

Nothing like a crimson red 1 and a CF diffuser!

COR Photographer · 11-24-2008, 01:33 PM

thats a pretty sick diffuser

Terp1 · 11-24-2008, 02:56 PM

Absolutely beautiful! I never even considered this until now.

JKAWB · 11-24-2008, 03:04 PM

that looks baller. how easy was it to install and uninstall? and where exactly do you live and when will you be asleep? just kidding.

lamini · 11-24-2008, 03:33 PM

not bad for one year's worth of use!......there is something that about the clearcoat and sun that just don't seem to get along.
---good luck with yours.

twinturbo135i · 11-24-2008, 09:06 PM

^ I keep my car well maintained with good, Zaino wax so I don't see that being a problem anytime soon.

spr · 11-24-2008, 11:04 PM

Seems like a great waste of money, but to each their own. You could have bought ecu tuning, dp's or suspension that actually do something, and I'm a fan of CF.

Well, he'll just have to spend the money on that stuff ALSO.

I'd say it is easy to justify the money when it looks that good on red.

I spent a ton putting a JDM front end on my STi but it made it look different from everyone else's and made me smile whenever I walked up to it. Splurging on cosmetics is ok when done in concert with performance upgrades. He's got some really light wheel on there, after all.

Looks great, now finish it off with a cf grill and debadge!

Garduna · 11-26-2008, 12:33 AM

Wow that carbon fibre diffuser looks amazing! I wonder how it would look on a sedona red 1er..... :P

Zuzu · 11-26-2008, 01:13 AM

Must say that is the best it looks with the red contrast..

Andrew@ET · 11-26-2008, 01:15 AM

just wow.... red and cf almost better than white and cf
