RKP Spoiler...

LBB always looks beautiful - nice mods: I like the spoiler, its a lot different in shape to the ones I've otherwise seen

If you like the look of the wrap on your door handles, a further option could be the IND carbon fiber side grill that could replace the flat black backing plate of the side grill ... although I couldn't find it when I went looking on their website (I thought I saw a post somewhere here about it).

I didn't see any clear pix of the upgrades on the mirrors ... was curious to see what they looked like.

Great job - thanks for sharing

You may want to touch up this pic to remove the reflection of your number plate I think you've done too good a job of getting the car looking so shiny!

The handles are real CF but they go over the actual door handles, I like the way they look from a few feet back, but not so much when looking directly above them.

I considered the CF front grilles but they look kind of busy in pictures I think because of the nature of an actual grille having a lot of detail already.

The CF side grill didn't have enough pictures so I couldn't really tell if I liked the look or not. I knew gloss black for the the front and side grilles would look fine though and were cheaper so I went with that. If I knew I would like both in CF I would have paid the extra cost, but didn't want to take the chance because I just was not sure.

Good catch on the reflection. Updated, but now you have to delete your reference to my original image.

I will take a picture of the mirrors for you shortly.

By front grille, I take it you mean the traditional BMW kidney grille..? I've installed the M color grille insert into mine I've kept the chrome grille surrounds - I like shiny stuff ... liking chrome seems to not be a good idea on this forum

While the CF look mostly isn't my thing, I thought that the flat matte look of the side grill backing plate (?) stands out against all the CF that you've got on the car. I guess I'd have done the backing plate in Gloss Black as well (which I am going to do for my car, but keep the Chrome).

I get you on the part about not being sure

I love folks sharing their updates - I really enjoying reading about them.

Thanks again - great looking car (in my humble, but biased, opinion).

I had chrome on everything for about a year with the only "mod" being the M colors on the kidney grille. I think chrome looks good on LBB but I wanted the car to look a bit meaner. I don't live someplace where I need a winter setup but if I did I thought it would be cool to do like a chrome wheel and chrome accents in winter and black in the summer.

Anyway the mirror caps are not quite the right shape but the price was right. After the M2 Competition comes out I will reevaluate the mirror situation.

Want top get rid of that orange marker now...

I've done that too - I like the look of it on LBB. In my opinion, its the only place the M colors work on LBB ...

I wonder what chrome mirror caps would look like ...

Thanks for the mirror pix - I think I agree with you on the shape!

I generally think it's one of the best looking cars around. Maybe I am biased.

I took my car up to 5000 feet on its summer tyres and ended up driving in -3°C in freezing fog on wet roads and hairpin bends. The tyres coped perfectly well with careful driving and I was very surprised to be able to manoeuvre with no slippage on a snowy car park.
