No need for that mess. Just buy the right hand drive drivers side visor and you're good! Does not cost a lot and is the cleaner method.

Yes it's a little shiny after doing, I haven't tried anything to dull this down. It is however 1000% less visible than the sticker.

No mess if you can manage to hold and pour a small bottle of liquid.

Last time I looked at IND the Euro visors were something like $175. Small bottle of rubbing alcohol for me was £3 and the 'mess' after is only visible at a certain angle of light reflection.

Sure replacing the visor is a perfect finish but I'd be happier putting a few hundred pounds on tyres or fuel.

Still gets wax but easier to clean because it's a straight line now.

@Akkando, where did you get your PPF done? Feel free to PM me if it's off topic.

Looks amazing! Where did you get the work done?

R0ME0 · 08-09-2017, 02:56 PM

Installed my Cyba 90mm exhaust tips. Looks so much better over the tiny OEM pea shooters

Those look great! Is that on the stock exhaust, or the MPE?

Where do you buy these from? Can't find any vendors selling these.

I'm pretty sure you can find it on the F80 forum. Under the vendor marketplace.

Now that you've had it for a few days what are your driving impressions? I also have the MPE and am looking to get this dp. Really curious to know what you think, performance gains etc and what the sound is like with the valves open and under load.
