Chris, do you reckon you'll get hit for import tax on these?

How much was it delivered to the UK if you don't mind me asking?

I didn't get any import tax on mine

Same I dropped the Cyba guy a note saying his price converted to just under £200 so PayPal sent him £200. Including delivery, nice mod.

I'm keeping mine quite clean

CF front side splitters
CF rear Diffusor
Cyba Tips
MPerf pedals

I'm expecting 500Hp now AT LEAST!

I will be happy to butcher it a bit as it will be painted gloss black anyway.

Are you tempted by the rear spoiler from there too? I'll be very interested to see what you think of the carbon, before painting it

Mod budget already fully allocated for this year and unfortunately does not stretch to a spoiler.

We'll need to find another guinea pig for that.

Mine wasn't too much

approx 230

Ade_7 · 06-13-2016, 04:26 PM

Well today was detailing day

so I finally got the proper camera out to get a few shots.

Not exactly inspiring scenery but the car looks so much more glossy now. the paint looks a lot deeper (to me anyway)

Fairly obviously my silver indicator bulbs haven't arrived yet

but in other news my spoiler should arrive in the next few days

dopper99 · 06-13-2016, 05:07 PM

Looks absolutely awesome Ade.

What did you put on your car though? You don't want creaking door rubbers like what's mentioned on the other forum.

Hmmm.. This is still what I've got... I thought it would have stopped by now or polish worn off but no...

Car looks amazing Ade

rjwojcik · 06-13-2016, 05:22 PM

Awesome work and photos, Ade

From what I've read, and from my own experience, avoid Autoglym and meguiars products.
BMWs don't seem to like these.

There are probably others too.

Gtechniq only on this baby

Thanks all, I'm really pleased with the finish.

C1 and Exo on the paintwork. Wheel armour on wheels obviously

and full leather protection and other treatments on all interior surfaces.

I took my 330d back to BMW for creaking seals as it is annoying! I think they just hit it with Gummi Phledge (not sure on the spelling there) and it sorts it out for quite a while. The last time they did it it was still ok approx. 10months later when it went back

gatsojon · 06-14-2016, 03:58 AM

Excellent finish and photos.

I really like your carbon splitter and the tips too. I need to look back on the thread for where you got those from again.

are you fitting it yourself?
