Thought so. I'll add it to the list of pending appearance mods including iND Grilles and side markers!

Or should I say, the list of appearance mods the car SHOULD have come with from the factory? lol

And while you are at it on the external appearance, why not add the BMW performance carbon boot spoiler

Aussie_in_London · 03-02-2012, 01:55 PM

I ordered these as well and they arrived quite fast. When I change back over to my summer wheels I'll throw them on. Let me know how the install goes. As for the quality, I certainly think Aussie's looks better so I just may buy a set from his contact as well.

Gotcha. Awaiting to get mine and will install them asap, will report back on quality. If not as good as Aussie's, I may have to look up Eamonn as well.

How did you get on at Hayward & Scott?

Aussie_in_London · 03-04-2012, 03:19 AM

Made it a small distance then hit a wall of stationary traffic, halfwits who come to a complete crawl with the slightest amount of rain, just your typical weekend London driver.......... Will be back up to see them again on the 17th.......

Do they already have a system made for 1M?

Aussie_in_London · 03-04-2012, 05:04 AM

Nope, not had one in to check out yet so they will look it over it on the 17th and see what they can/will do....

Just got mine on Monday (very fast shipping from the UK!), it is a total of 8, 4 are bigger, 4 are smaller. I didn't want it to look gaudy, so I did the small stickers. In retrospect, I probably should have done the bigger up front and smaller in the rear (as there isn't much space there). Will take some pics.

Install was super easy, and seller included directions. Quality is good, though probably a tad lower than Aussie's car, but very respectable overall. What took me longest was to figure out which way/direction to apply the sticker. LOL After I was done I looked at the new M6 revealed in Geneva (with the ceramic breaks), luckily I got it right.

Looking forward to the pics. I have the decals sitting here as I await the second set from Aussie's contact. Once I get the other set I'll decide which ones will go on the car.

Just snapped a few pics. Look for a new thread I'll initiate shortly as I don't want to highjack Aussie's one here.

Hey Aussie,

That KW DDC kit you have in build. Is it a custom order or will they release it as a product?

Thanks.

Aussie_in_London · 03-10-2012, 12:32 PM

It is being released mate, speak with your countries distributor which is KW US
http://www.kw-suspension.com/us/kw_contact.php
and they should be able to sort you out from there with availability and dates.
Friend of mine is the MD of KW UK so is sorting for me, fingers crossed arriving and fitted mid April....
