It's actually not just about the height. There really isn't much space to get in there and place/hold the nuts on the bolts. Also wasn't thrilled with the idea of drilling up into the bumper without knowing what was on the other side...

Looks terrific! Definitely suits the car well.

DTNJNQ · 11-02-2011, 08:19 AM

Just got a price directly from Kerscher. $422 shipped to Australia.

Harlequin · 11-02-2011, 08:20 AM

Nice. Just be sure to check how they are sending. I read in another thread that someone else in Oz got stung with Brokerage fees when they got it direct fron Kerscher...

Might be worth paying the extra to get it from Brian...

RaihaX · 11-02-2011, 08:20 AM

They are door to port last time I ask, double check if it's getting shipped by db shenck (spelling?)

Harlequin · 11-02-2011, 08:24 AM

Kerscher have definitely used DB Shenker at least once in the past - see my post above -Satanic- had to pay an EXTRA $345...

Brian sent mine DHL from Germany with handover to Aussie Post here and delivered to the door with no Broker involvement.

Thanks, they did mention in their email that they were using Schenker.

Looks hot - love it.

Harlequin · 11-02-2011, 08:28 AM

Thanks

escobar929 · 11-02-2011, 08:50 AM

looks great! makes me mad a missed the GB

I like this one much better than the slek, specially for the price

130iguy · 11-02-2011, 09:07 AM

AHAH GREAT SUCCESS I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE NOW
hahahahah

Harlequin · 11-02-2011, 09:09 AM

Haha.. Not surprised... It's just up the road from the Nando's in Carseldine where the JDMST meets sometimes are...

ippykaye · 11-02-2011, 09:20 AM

I'm still waiting for Brian to get back to me about putting an order through

Seems like a few of us are buying from Australia- well, few as in Jeef, Rey and I..maybe we'll do a mini GB! LOL

Angus- how did you find fitment of the CF mirror overlays? I originally considered doing that but I tried a set which didn't line up properly and you could see the white around the edges. Where did u order from? Ebay or one of the vendors on the Commercial Forums? Reason I ask is that I've got CF vinyl on now- doesn't look as good because it's not glossy. However, I may now use it as a base to stick the glossy CF caps on as there's no more white to shine through.

They fit pretty much perfectly. You have to be below the mirror, looking up from behind to see any white at all...

Take a look at these:

ippykaye · 11-02-2011, 09:35 AM

Cool, thanks for those photos Angus- I'm gonna get me a set- I had a similar problem when I did a test fit with a set Stuart had but now with my CF vinyl, it should hide it better.

Were those off the 'Bay or from one of the US vendors? Looks like ~$100 is the going price?

LOL! U guys are way ahead of me. I've yet to even get started on performance mods. I'm just being a poser and changing the outside appearance!

Ian's PE is very tempting...and maybe even his PROcede...and maybe his CF diffuser....

Help! I need help!

PS: Jeef, you should snap up Ian's VMR710s- it'd look schmick on your Space Grey- although ur lowered and I'm not sure if he got the 1er specific fitment ones with the ET50 out back. I guess he's slightly lowered with the BMW PSusp.

lol - I don't think I will get this just yet other mods I want to do first. Unless of course the price is very attractive!

LoL give in to temptation that is what I did

His Procede wouldnt work as it is for the N55.

You should seriously look into the performance mods, since they are MUCH cheaper and give greater satisfaction than aesthetics. His PROcede won't work for you but definitely snap one up! I can contact Adrian for local sourcing for you or you could grab a JB4 with install from Stu. You'll have endless support from either of us.

We're looking at doing a wheel swap, the only worry I have is whether they will clear my guards with my lowered KWs. Maybe we'll do a trial swap.
