Made a few cosmetic changes to my car...

Harlequin · 03-10-2013, 01:03 AM

Installed a BMW Performance Exhaust.
Installed the BMS Cold Air Intake.
Got an new Splitter to replace the broken one.
Upgraded the Tails to Blackline LCIs.
Got the roof wrapped in Black Gloss Vinyl.
Installed the 1M Mirrors with CF Caps.

Very happy with the look and LOVE the combined sound of the Performance Exhaust and the Intake.

Close up pics of the Mirrors, Exhaust, Roof, and Intake.

Looking good!

Is that the eBay Kerscher front splitter? If so how's the fit?

Harlequin · 03-10-2013, 01:12 AM

Nah. That one's the legit Kerscher one. Fit is perfect

Bmwbreed · 03-10-2013, 03:39 AM

Love everything. Great looking AW

RimasRS · 03-10-2013, 05:32 AM

Your car always looked great and clean now it is even more... Blacklines really goes nice with roof

lastMleft · 03-10-2013, 05:58 AM

Nice! the 1m mirrors sets everything off well

Harlequin · 03-10-2013, 06:10 AM

Thanks guys.

I think getting rid of the "Dumbo Ears" has really streamlined the car. The 1M mirrors pole out slightly more but the sit lower and are tucked backwards a bit.

I think they completely transform the car.

Black roof makes to "look" lower too...

Clean - I love it.

What did you use to attach the kerscher front lip? Do you have to drill it with your bumper? I'm quite interested with kerscher lip but want to know more about the installation. Where did you buy it?

This is my second one. Snapped the first one. I got this one from a fellow forum member who decided not to install it himself. (brand new)

I got the first one from Echelon Auto Sports.

For both of them I actually removed the front bumper and drilled/installed with the bolts supplied. About a dozen of them...

I think I can say with certainty that since the first one snapped rather than coming off you can be sure that if mounted properly, it's pretty bloody secure...

But I'd say that if you don't drill the extra holes then it won't be very secure at all...

That what I was thinking, just using double sided tape to secure the lip because I don't want to drill the front bumper. With that being said, I have to change my mind when I decide to buy that lip. Looks good though! Kerscher is my first priority for front lip.
