Looks good mate, but the rear diffuser looks a little like it could line up better.

Is that the photo angle?

Time for a debadge and new exhaust tip/backbox I would say

Regards
Matt

I like that a lot Frankie, in my opinion i think carbon is best suited to the colour white.
I need carbon on my motor

your right about the exhaust tip mate, have a look at bmw uk page thats how it sits i thinks its because the toe eye cover does not line up the the lines in the defuser i personally think that the rear defuser makes the car look far better than the rest of the mods i was not a fan of the standard rear defuser

Could be. It was the tow eye I noticed first, then the 'angled' line onto the original bumper. Looks good.

Looks very nice Frankie, good choice of bits
Agree a decent exhaust and debadge will finish that off very nicely nicely.

Much better. All from BM is one thing. I love OE parts. But fitted by BM? You must be mad. Could have done it yourself and saved a couple hundred quid. It's not difficult to fit this stuff.

5mins spolier, 10mins kidneys, 10mins diffuser. Tops.

But anyway: It does look very good.

Debadge next mate

I'm guessing frankie suffers from being terminally cack handed. Nothing wrong with that, we aren't afraid to admit it. For example, if I'd fitted that spoiler it would be halfway across the back window and my fingers would be glued together.

Looks great, never real been a fan of the rear lip spoiler especially in a complementary colour but if you like it it's your car. Love all the other bits though.

They only charged £275 plus vat and painted rear defuser for free and got between 10% and 15% off parts good deal I say there is no way I'm going to buy a brand new car and risk fitting very expensive parts onto it my self or anyone who does not work for BMW for that matter

As others have said, debadge and sort the exhaust out and it's done.

Mainly time for the beta link to cure.
Took me about 45mins but I went on the theory of perfect prep prevents piss poor performance.
The beta link is like a thick caramel and is quite difficult to work with, put tape everywhere you don't want beta link and yournare good.

Debadge though is something everyone can do!

Thats a good price for the amount of work done by the dealer....but I'm not sure I'll ever trust any main dealer to do any major performance installs (LSDs, Intercoolers etc). Honda managed to break the gearbox on my previous type R after I took her in for a "routine" service. My local Nissan dealer didn't have a clue about my 350z. BMW leicester told me it was going to take 12hrs to fit the performance kit for my 335i when the install guide supplied by BMW clear states 4.5hr Once my warranty runs out I'm off to my local ind..I thinks theres a couple in Leicester

Let's go easy on the op for choosing to use a main dealer. I fit many of the same goodies in 5 mins flat as well so I know where you're coming from, but let's not seem unfriendly to new folk, especially those who are clearly very proud of a nicely modded motor.

Completely off topic, but Garage 786 on Lougborough Rd is very good
