Today I was finally able to install the trunk. Pretty happy with the outcome.

Got the car cleaned & shot a few pictures. The backgrounds are horrible, but the car looks nice😂

Awesome build there!


Have a few questions if you don't mind:
  • Your M4 spoiler has a really great fitment. Looking to get one myself, but the ones on eBay seems to be a hit or miss, mind sharing where did you buy yours?
  • I might get the 1m rear bumper for my car, trying to figure out how to deal with the quad exhaust situation. Will you tell me what exhaust did you use for your old 128i?
  • Also curious on what UV protectant clear coat you use?

Thanks!

Glad to answer your questions
- the spoiler i bought it brand new from a guy that sold the car before the spoiler arrived. Unfortunately I don't have any info on it.

- the exhaust was custom made, I'll leave a picture so you can see the layout. It's not the prettiest work, nor the most functional (regarding the exhaust gas flow). But the shop that did it was the only one willing to take the job. Most people do the same layout, this way the charcoal canister doesn't need to be removed or relocated.

- Most UV protectant clears for car paint will work. But if you're doing a small piece, I'd recomen the 2k spry can clear coats. Since it's easily obtainable, the finish looks great, and at most you'll pay maybe $20 for the can. But make sure it's UV protectant. And after applying it polish & buff the piece for it to really have a nice shine to it.

Yesterday I managed to install the carbon fiber front lip. Also I’ll be re-clearing all my carbon fiber farts in the coming days.
