It's time to pimp my CR 135i with some carbon fiber goodies.

twinturbo135i · 08-24-2008, 07:59 AM

Okay, after going through roughly a week and a half between a cracked carbon fiber rear spoiler (thanks UPS

) and a pretty bad tropical storm (no thanks to tropical storm Faye), I was finally able to install my CF mirror covers and my rear spoiler.

I'm pretty happy with the results and it does change the appearance of my 135i very well. what do you guy (and gals) think?

Looks great!

InsaneSkippy · 08-24-2008, 10:07 AM

Looks good!

PS. Were those pictures take at the Altamonte Mall?

That big building in the background looks like the thing they've been building next to I-4 for years

MI128 · 08-24-2008, 10:16 AM

Love the spoiler, but don't know about the CF Mirrors. I think the standard red mirrors pop more IMO.

eunosracr · 08-24-2008, 10:17 AM

Nicely done!

e36chris · 08-24-2008, 10:22 AM

nicely done, some nice black rims and those mirrors will pop out!

did you get a new wing? or using the cracked one?

RobLS · 08-24-2008, 12:45 PM

yup, good catch. I like taking car pics in their top section of the parking garage because the concrete is still new and somewhat clean.

yes, it's a new wing. there's no way I would put any damaged accessory on my 135i.

Evan at www.getbmwparts.com took very good care of me. he sent me a replacement wing the same day I told them about the damaged one.

Nice, I thought it looked familiar. I've done a couple photo shoots up there myself.

1clean335i · 08-24-2008, 08:33 PM

looks good! hope to see you around sometime :thumbup:

gyrfalcon · 08-24-2008, 09:50 PM

Looks awesome. Just add some Shadowline grills, Breyton GTS-R wheels in black, and the carbon fiber diffuser and then...

:headbang:

RoninWheels · 08-25-2008, 07:50 AM

i like... next grilles and the rear diffuser

shaggy135i · 08-26-2008, 03:26 PM

I really like it! The mirrors are subtle and nice. While the spoiler is just gorgeous. Very nice job!

thesmokingone · 08-26-2008, 03:32 PM

i like it alot

Exactly what I was thinking. It looks great now, but the grill and wheels will really make it look amazing. Go for the wheels first since your windows are not shadowline and see how it looks first. CR is such a great color on this car!!!

BMWTT135i · 08-30-2008, 02:31 PM

Looks good, you got any shots of the top of the trunk w/ the spoiler?

NinTenTom · 09-02-2008, 12:52 PM

i like the contrast. nice job!

Add1ct · 01-06-2009, 01:52 PM

thank you for this I wasn't sure if the chromeline and CF trim could go together and I think they can and do, looks great!

pousa13 · 01-08-2009, 08:01 AM

looks good but I would have ordered shadowline because I don´t like the red together with the chrome. I think it would look smoother with shadowline but despite that you have a very nice car

Add1ct · 01-08-2009, 10:18 AM

I don't know this is kind of making me want to not cover my chrome line with vinyl trim...

HighQ · 01-13-2009, 01:05 AM

Looks nice, I thinks some black or carbon fiber grills would look great on the red,
maybe some shadowline trim to continue the black/red theme.
