After retro fitting the FRT/RR bumpers, spoiler, grilles, and steering wheel to Msport, i added a homemade gloss black overlay to the non-Msport skirt. Not trying to be cheesy but I was thinking the gloss black vinyl will match all of the M performance parts. The "M Performance" decal is too much though, i might remove it later.

Overall, $30 is not too bad of a weekend project. Tools needed are:

1. sharp blade
2. old credit card (squeegee)
3. dawn soap
4. water spray bottle
5. gloss black vinyl (local shop) - $25
6. M Performance decal(ebay) - $5

Incredible. Looks just like a bought one. I'd keep the M Performance decal as it wouldn't look OEM without it.

How did you do the steering wheel by yourself, particularly when it came to the airbag as I thought you needed to deactivate it to remove the wheel?

And what exhaust set up did you go with?

Great mods by the way. Ossam!

Love the car but don't like the vinyl. I never did like the M Performance one either because it makes the car appear to be higher off the ground which is the opposite of what most people do when them modify the car. Just my opinion.

I really was expecting something way worse coming into this thread...

I'll say its pretty creative but I think your car looked great before.. so I'll vote NAY.. at the very least on the M sticker.

I think so too, especially on a light colored car.

Looks very nice mate. What's the story with the rear diffuser, including the exhaust?

honestly, the steering wheel mod is very easy. Plug n play! If you opted to have paddles then you need to code it.

nothing special with rear, just showcasing all the M stuff. the exhaust is a different story since its a 528i with a 535i aftermarket exhaust. the challenge is modifying the 528i right bucket and Y-pipe.

I like the vinyl work, I think with the right drop the decals on the side skirts will look really good (obviously I have them on my car so I'm biased).

But W/out a drop i agree they make the car look "higher"

Drop and your set, car looks good so far

Thanks. However, I'm already using Eibach lowering springs and I already scraped the crap of my front lip. The pics were also taken from a decline/incline road with parking brake engaged so it made the car look high.

I appreciate for all the comments. Still debating if I should leave it.

Yea mine scrapes all the time, but my car is pretty low. This is a daily occurrence in and out of the driveway :/

The decal makes the car look great.
