I will be installing the kit manufactured by Clinched in the US, not everyones cup of tea but the kit will be chopped up to suit my rieger tuning front bumper as it is a direct bolt on for the standard 135i bumper. I will be adding a larger wing (gt3rs wing specifically with taller mounts), lower extended diffuser, extended side skirts and front lip extension (with rods) to add. Carbon Fibre bonnet is soon to be organised by BMR Autowerkes as well. Should be fun

Thank you sir! I'm excited for what is to come, definately want to become the game changer
They say white walls are illegal as they grind down the sidewall to make a smooth surface and in turn remove the tire specs-which is illegal. Tire lettering, however, does not involve sanding down the tirewall so in turn it is legal |

Very nice, that rear diffuser looks tough! Does the Kohlefaser Luft-Technik airbox make any difference, both performance and sound wise?
Sounds like it's going to be a real weapon once finished. |

Cheers mate, I felt the intake had a slight change in performance nothing extraordinary and in terms of sound it isn't a noticeable difference in whooshing noises that most some intakes may have but the turbo spool is a lot louder from OEM. All in all, nice looking airbox

What profile rubber are you using and did the car come with the Eibach springs? How is the ride? I'm about to put a set of 19" GTCX's on, the local tyre guy reckons that I should I should change them up for 18's but I prefer the 19" look. I've run 30 profile rears on 19's on a previous car and while it sounded crashy the dampers and springs I had on that car smoothed the ride out so it wasn't an issue in car.
