SleK 1M Complete Cosmetic Package > HP Autowerks <

Edit: This is SleK's development car. Our parts will be painted and we should have them shortly.

It’s what you have all been waiting for, the follow up to the popular SleK 1M and 135i front lips. SleK has been working hard over the past couple months developing a new innovative CSL inspired trunk as well as a hood, side diffusers and rear diffuser. SleK has brought a product line for the 1 Series that is both aggressive and classy. The fit and finish is just like OEM components, guaranteeing a hassle free installation on your vehicle










You have already been given a taste of the SleK trunk on a black 135i, but how about on a 1M? The aggressiveness of the trunk flows flawlessly with the exaggerated factory rear quarter panels. The OEM trunk weighs 33lbs. The single sided carbon fiber trunk weighs 13lbs with the double sided carbon fiber option weighing only 9.5lbs.









The hood is another part of the 1M that is shared with the 135i that BMW neglected to address. You can argue that the stock hood is just fine and for all functional purposes it is. But SleK has once again added some M inspired touches. The SleK hood features a power dome as well as more aggressive hood lines. The result is a great looking hood that adds a more menacing front end look with less weight. The OEM hood weighs 44lbs, the single sided carbon fiber hood weighs 19.5lbs and double sided carbon options weighs roughly 14lbs.









If you are looking for extra down force for your 1M, look no further than SleK’s side diffusers. They install easily using double sided tape and extended clips. If you are already running or plan to run the rear diffuser and front lip it also adds a nice flow of carbon fiber along the bottom of the 1M.







Want a rear diffuser to rival the aggressive bark of the 1M exhaust it surrounds? SLeK has delivered a diffuser that does just that. It is a direct fitment piece that installs only using a few new clips.







SleK also has rear side diffusers available.

After asking slek this question, they answered by saying they wanted a clean look. When the iCarbon one came out, people were saying how good it would look without vents. Now when Slek makes one without vents, everyone wants vents.

The iCarbon hood was a different design, it didn't have the 2 seams so it's completely different. There seems to be a fair bit of interest for the M3 style vents, I'm not sure why they don't make it an option.

It's no coincidence that iCarbon sold out of the M3 style vent hood first and had plenty of the 'other' style vents leftover.

Most likely a vented hood will be coming soon because of the demand for it.

From what I'm seeing from the pictures, that hood and trunk fitment is probably the best I've seen so far regarding cf parts.
