An update.. I ended up going with the original BMW performance ones down to the pure fact that they're actually gloss black plastic. I have no doubt that Teddy's would have looked amazing painted, but didn't like the idea of stone chips which are bound to happen.

Also because I'm an impatient git I drove down to the BMW parts centre which is 10 mins away and bought them! Bit of a turnout really.. I was going to fit them myself but they said they'd do it for £15 so again, being impatient and to trying and keep it sweet with the chap at the parts desk I said go on then. I then went round to the man reception who said it would be £35! To top it off the actual technician who was going to fit it then said £40! Bloody joke for less than 15 mins work.

Out of principal I said that they cocked up with the pricing three times which ended up being nearly triple what I was originally quoted and after a few exchange of words they ended up fitting them for free

Dealer - 0
Me - 1

Haven't got any pics as yet but will defo get them up later this week along with the new exhaust I've got planned for Friday. Looks amazing though. Really changes the front end!

Thanks again for all the advice and thoughts.

Curious about what the exhaust cover looks like. Got any pics?

Here you go mate. I think it's looks ok.

SA320 · 10-16-2012, 03:50 PM

Nice!

How much?! Is it a cover or new tip entirely?!

Hiya mate it's just a cover. Slips on instead of the brushed aluminium job. It was £43 from my BMW dealer. They fitted all my parts free. Was shocked at your dealers attempts to charge you. Well done on the free bit!!
