Sorry Trev. I think it might well be but unfortunately I can't tell. Vince reckons most of the improvement would be coming from the bushings, but hey if you can source one for around $250-$300 the install is pretty simple.

No probs mate, Id keep the sleeper look tbh but if you want a more aggressive look, start with a drop

Yes - will still maintain oem appearence and just do some subtle but tasteful enhancements to make it look a little more aggressive

Short update - Thanks to @DR-JEKL for organising GB from Euro division. Got my M3 bumper + side skirts painted and installed. Come out nice fitment is spot on. Happy with the result, bit more aggressive but still nice oem appearence.

Next will be a front lip in gloss black (haven't decided which style) + also speculating some side skirt extensions in gloss black too along with gloss black door mirrors.

Yeah it's still the same just take the fog lights out and cut the brackets off. Then just put the ducts in

Looking great Tawf!! What an improvement. Front lips for M3 reps are rare. Foggie delete can be done later mate. I did mine a while back and posted a DIY. Get the genuine M3 ducts and trim them

You can get this for your car Trev. I have previously bought stuff from this seller and fitment has been good. You even have the option to get it painted gloss black

Thanks Sock - yeh pretty happy with the end result. Agree there are not too many lips for aftermarket m3 rep front bars. I personally like the AK style which can be sourced from rw carbon for m3 rep bumpers

http://www.********.com/bmw-e90-e91-carbon-fiber-lip-for-m3-style-bumper.html

The more common one available at Mars and Euro division not really a fan of. I think you have perhaps tried this one hamann style. They have this one available for M3 rep bumpers. Don't know might go down to theor shop and place near my car and see how it looks actually.

Last resort will be seeing if flow design in Melb can do something custom. Yeh will see might to fog delete later down the line

Thanks Doc - am pleased how it turned out. I was a bit back and fourth on the side skirts but then just bit the bullet and got them. I think i've made the right choice

P.S. Yes colour is great, esspecially when its been given a nice buff n polish on a low light day, looks incredible!
