128i Aerodynamic kit

I hate how my 128i doesn't have a rear diffuser...
I was looking in to the installation of either a aerodynamic kit, or a carbon fibre diffuser.... The Canadian websites say that the prices exclude the installation fees....
What I'm wondering is, has any body done this or seen a 1 series with aerodynamics kit or a carbon diffuser.....
was it worth it? and how much did it cost?

Your treading in expensive territory my friend I wanted to get the entire thing done also, but it's not worth the price. Maybe just the rear bumper but the entire aero kit is ridiculous!

Place near me quoted around 3200$ for everything. Paint, labor, and install. Includes rear, front, and skirts. Bit your call!

Ask a member on the forum called: Alow he did it all!

I was able to source all the M-sport body parts for around 1,300, but then you have to figure in around 600 more for painting and installation. Still not sure if I want to go that route.

And you have to figure you can do a hell of a lot to your car for the $2-3k your burning on the bumpers and side skirts!

If you feel like you can do that then go for it! They are hard to find

Here is that link I said I would get about the member Alow (Has the entire Aero Kit) : http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...highlight=alow

I know what you mean, I'm basically 99.9% happy with my car. The bumpers would have been nice, but I think I'd like satellite radio and maybe some clear/projector headlights.
