very nice photo's of the car aussie,sorry to get off subject but if somebody could help, is it correct when ordering new type performance steering wheel from uk dealer that you only get it with white stiching.

There are two types one with M tri-colour stitching with blue band at 12 o'clock and one with white stitching and yellow band I think.

This is correct. The one with blue is M Performance, the other is called (just) Performance

But I do like the white and gloss black contrast with the side mirrors, but will check em out more as I always had in mind having the top half painted in AW and leaving the lower in carbon if that works

Which diffuser are you going for?

Agree re mirror caps on white though as I have black I think they will be one of my first mods together with the spoiler.

I contacted RevoZport in Hong Kong, they have the 2 styles, the diffuser with the fins and ground affect panel, then they have a oem copy in carbon which I am thinking do I want to keep along the subtle factory look......

Also sent an email today to ca-technologies for a price on the Vorsteiner GTS V carbon diffuser and it will be a local purchase

Very interested in hearing about the OEM one from RevoZport, so far the one I would go for is the Alpha-N, looks as close to the BMW as has been possible so far.

Keep us posted!

DIY? or shop?

For the lacquer, was wet sanding required?
