Lot of Photos showing the M Performance Spoiler Lip on a Space Grey MSport

I took some photos today with my Canon 70D to show off my recently installed M Performance front Spoiler lip.

I wish I had the skills to take pictures like atomic80 and some other great photographers here Keep practicing and I can only get better

Fantastic. Love the space gray. Are you going to do a rear diffuser? I did it without the tie-fighter wings on the side to match the theme up front (did mirror caps too).

OT, but have you 35i guys thought about picking up orphaned 50i brakes from those of us that have done the M Performance upgrade? Would help fill out those 20" wheels, and I'm selling my entire set to my neighbor for pennies on the $ just to de-clutter.

I plan to get the rear diffuser eventually before the year end and possibly the rear fins, not 100% sure yet.

Nice photos Kzang. The black front grilles complement the Space Grey very nicely. The spoiler needs a rear diffuser to complete the look!

Do you guys think the front spoiler would look good on a Carbon Black M-Sport 35d? I was considering it but worried it would look off balanced since I have a tow package. It seems to look good on his but was curious if anyone has a Carbon Black with the front spoiler?

Member Ftenner has a black X5, not sure if carbon or black sapphire. Here is one of his picture

That's a very nice series of pics showing the car & the CF lip there.

Did you mount the lip yourself? Easy to do?

Thank you! That means a lot coming from you

I did mount the lip myself with the help from Alan's DIY thread posted here http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1132458

I sort of documented my install on this thread http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...1145464&page=2

Thanks for thinking of me! That circular polarizer really does the trick in cutting out the reflection. Nicely done. I love how the X5 looks with the CF lip but you definitely need the rear diffusers to complete the look. I'm not sure about the fins though. Now I know how the roof spoiller looks with the small black lip. I just may finally put mine on.

BTW I looked through your Flickr feed. I saw you do the same pose in a lot of your shots. Funny thing is that I've done a couple of the exact same poses. A buddy of mine who died last year of cancer always did that so our friends including myself do that to honor his memory.

I agree with you. I just felt little bit odd without the Roof Spoiler and the rear diffuser. added to the list....
