To side side sill or not to side sill....that is the question!!!!

Got a Sakhir Orange M4 and just installed carbon front corners with matt black front spoiler/splitter to match the black kidney grilles.
Now contemplating adding side matt black side sills and maybe m performance side decals.
Really in 2 minds if I should!
Anyone with photos of sills and decals?
Thoughts anyone?

Don't have decals, just the the sill in mat, IMO it finishes it off

Hope it gives you an idea, cheers John

I have the side cills in Gloss Black and they're a great little mod and really suit the car.

I wouldn't fit the stickers tho!

Cheers guys.
Ended up buying from BMW Gloucester, should arrive today. Considered decals too but after seeing them on pics, decided against.

Nibbsy999,
Very easy to install as there's a ridge to locate and 3M tape to stock to underside of painted sill. Then drill and self tappers.

Hopefully install at the weekend and will post pics.

No mate. Had BMW spray and fit prior to collection.

Doesn't seem too difficult a job mind.

Gordon, are your kidney grills Matt black or gloss black? I had my front splitter painted gloss black for a £100 to match my gloss grills and it works well with the carbon corners.. seeing as I don't have any Matt black bits.... the side sills in gloss look great but I'd personally give the m perf decals a miss
