Finally did the deed! Painted the awful muffler in high temp flat black paint. Since I was already working on that area, I figured I might as well also swap out the tips with 90MM Black Chrome Slanted tips which I purchased from a member on the F80 forums.

Some tips for those who want to DIY the above:
* Remove the OEM tips using a rubber mallet and piece of wood -- trust me, its much easier and quicker than the hammer and mallet IND method.
* Prepped the muffler by giving it a good scrub with Isopropyl Alcohol
* Overspray on the body will likely be minimal, but be sure to cover up the diffuser
* Layered one light coat and let it dry over night; applied second coat 24 hours later and drove around for 20 minutes to let it bake
* Using ramps helped get good coverage underneath and behind the muffler
* I made the mistake of not spraying the muffler in the gap above the tips so now theres still a bit of silver shining through which is miniscule but does bother me -- so make sure to hit upper areas as well.

I did this mod last week, and drove the car this past weekend for about 4 hours without any noticeable issues with the paint job so hoping it holds up for at least a year. Well worth it and I've already received multiple compliments on the tips and resprayed muffler.

Just had her Ceramic coated and had high impact PPF installed by Graham and his team at Azuri Car Care in Stevenage (UK) and they have done an amazing job. It has transformed the car and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough! (sorry for the grainy image, took a still from a video)

Installed a cheap generic 2-series spoiler on the M2C

You can get it for around 150$ with matching car paint

Link if interested

Always wondered what a color matched rear spoiler looks like. Looks great!

It's not very adventurous but the color uniformity is quite pleasing

I think it's an M-Performance clone in terms of size and height

That is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for as I don’t want carbon.
Where did you get it from please?

How do you like it. I keep seeing their advertisement. Kept rubbing the underneath of my front lip, so ended up putting CF splitter. I may add this as well.

Also thinking of putting CF winglets, not sure if I put $250 from eBay vs $500 from RW carbon vs $850 M performance once ones.

VRSF DP, and BM3 stage 2. I haven't truly pushed her yet, give it few days but it feels awesome! IMO drop in filter, DP and a tune is a excellent combo.

Installation was done within 35-40 minutes in my garage. Just had to do a few cuts to achieve perfect fitment. One package is exactly what you need for the performance cf front lip.

So far all good! 👍🏼

Installed the IND Glossy Red M1/M2 buttons, then I removed them since IND now has them in a Matte Red. The Matte looks so much like OEM, I'm very happy with them. Illumination between M1 and M2 are spot on.

These are the Matte finish buttons in the pictures.
