Performance side skirts arrived at last
I went for the kit which had all the fixings included and was packed really well.
Taking your time with the sill cover paid off, the holders for the clips can break easily. Removing the skirt clips is easy, first lift the pins Then get under the main plugs Then on to the hex screws underneath After a bit of pulling front and back, it came away Refitting was just the reverse |

If it came painted from the factory, I would really consider this.

Here's the part number for mine B51 77 0 445 641 you might want to try your dealer with the number, keep in mind they are pre painted silver.

You can order them from Dan at United BMW. Put your paint info in the messages panel at checkout. I got my 135 front and rear bumpers from them already painted AW.

I was hoping the price included paint from the factory. I'm wondering how come the UK comes painted and the US is not.

Maybe there's a market for someone shipping painted skirts to the US from the UK.

So you place an order there's different part numbers depending on color? Or is it the same part number and the dealer have it painted for u?

It's double the amount for the States to have them painted by BMW. We use certified BMW-trained shops to paint, nothing but the best!

I don't want to be the first to say this but the paint on the skirts doesn't appear to be color matched very well. They appear to be a lighter color than the rest of the car.
Please tell me it's just the light, camera and/or dirt. |

man, i really like the car color. I haven't actually seen a silver car in person yet... getting tired of my SGM. But the side skirts really stand out on your car! Good stuff! I was thinking about getting em but I didn't think they'd be noticable on a darker color.
