One thing you may want to consider is use betalink for your install instead of the 3M tape that i used. I never had issues with mine but another member said his front spoiler ripped off the car after driving over 100mph for a decent amount of time.

BMW designed these parts very well and they all fit like a glove. Everything has a template for you to follow so its hard to mess up. The rear diffuser and front spoiler has guiding tabs for you so you can't mis-align the parts. The rear flaps comes with a paper template where you line it up to existing screws under the bumper so you know exactly where the new holes needs to be drilled.

One thing i would caution is the side skirt decal. Its not as easy it as seems. I've worked with vinyl wrapping cars before so it wasn't a problem for me but if you've never wrapped anything before its not a easy piece to start with.
Thanks Alan for your detailed reply, that's re-assuring and good to know! I have done modifications in the past, but not too much, and I will make sure to check back on your guidelines and advice!
