Awesome Pictures mate.

Thanks, the SLeK lip and trunk are definitely my favorite exterior mods. With the LCI tail lights coming in at a close third.

Yeah.. The whole car looks fantastic. I'd have one of those Lips if they didn't charge $600 Shipping to send it across the pond...

SLeK is actually in the process of expanding and trying to get bigger. I have been nagging them to get an authorized reseller in Australia for a while for you guys because I have seen how many of you want it but don't want to pay the crazy shipping. I'm hoping that eventually they will have an Australian distributor.

If BMR is interested, I can give them SLeK's personal email to begin communications.


Btw, in Australia do the cops use Laser Guns to get you guys for speed? I just posted a group buy for a Laser Jammer since I just got my first speeding ticket in a while and I don't want any more in the future lol.

Yeah they do - amongst other things - but they are SERIOUSLY illegal. Even to own, or sell...

Thats good news for someone else
But ive been a paranoid parrot about anything bigger than 17"s since I cracked one of my stock 264s a while back.


So slek is trying to get bigger, eh? I guess I should ask for something if theyre expanding. So can we get new products

Ah. They are illegal in California as well which is why I want this particular one since it comes with a kill switch that turns it into parking sensors. So if a cop pulls you over and asks about it then you can say they are parking sensors.

Lol, no convertible trunks! I can't even convince them to make us a new diffuser yet. They are expanding in the sense of looking more into the 3 series market to see what it may need.


I've run through tons of pot holes with my 18-19" rims and have had no issues so far.

Thats great then. All the better for all of us if they can make it in the bigger 3er market and then come back to the 1er with more cash on hand to get new things rolling.

And who said anything about trunks I was going to ask for a widebody similar to the Doerr kit.

Ill direct you to this picture, and I know im not the only one thats managed it.

Lol I was assuming you would ask for the trunk again, my mistake. They would have no problem making a front widebody with the bumper / fenders / side skirts but the rear is where I see the problem. Also the market may not be big enough to support the wide body either since it seems that ER's hasn't been selling well.


They asked me at the shoot which models I wanted and if I wanted anything particular, I was to lazy so I just said to put all of them into the shoot.

Yeah thats fair, I guess.


And thats not being lazy. You were a gentleman, not wanting to hurt one girl's feelings so you said they could all do it.

I see no issues with being a gentleman.
