thanks!

That price is about $100 off. I'd look around. Plenty of places are free shipping over a certain amount. Some places ship free for over $100 some places are $500.

Heres an example. Pay no attention to the part numbers, as these are for the G82 not G80.

I've got them sitting in my front room ready to install when I finally get my car.

From other posters on here, they are fairly easy to install and no lift is required.

I'm looking at these to retain the gloss black and carbon look the rear end will have with the carbon exterior pack. Someone else pointed these out the other day and I like them.
the front of my G80 will have the M performance lip though so all carbon in front, these on the sides (see link), and M Performance carbon fiber side vents, then, carbon exterior pack on the rear.

I think these will tie everything in nicely. Thoughts? Haven't pulled trigger yet.

has anyone actually bought them? any reverences ? I kind of like this look a bit better (w/o wings)

I'm going down the R44 route. I had planned on the full m performance winglets and front splitter kit. I wasn't sold on it totally, I know this is subjective and I don't hate the M kit but it took my mate to tell me that he thought it was a bit much before I made my mind up.
I honestly think the front splitter from MP could be better. The fact that its 3 separate parts lets it down for me, they should have put a bit more thought into it. Also it deletes some of the detail I personally like on the standard front profile.
I love the idea of the winglet kit but I feel it comes hand in hand with going all in to pull it off. 1000m wheels, lowered and spacers and its perfect. I just think the stock side skirts are amazing, and the R44 side sills keep that look and actually are like the F82 M sills that I loved (but in CF)
Sorry if I've upset anyone it is just my opinion and everyone's spec will always be

I haven't purchased them yet, still deciding. I won't have my car until sometime in December I believe.
I like how they retain some of the gloss black and tie everything in from the front to the back.

Exactly. Love how the R44 side skirts keep some of the gloss black. I'm definitely leaning towards purchase. I don't like the MP oem side skirts personally.
