Will my car look stupid if I only did msport conversion in the front?
I am debating just doing the front msport bumper conversion without the sides and rear. anyone here only do the front? How does it look? Any pictures would be great!
I would also like to know any recommendations on the best replica msport bumper I can find. Best fitment and quality. Bavarian auto sports has one around $500. Anyone else? |

Nah. Even on my M-Sport the rear end doesn't look night and day different like the front features. Nobody would hardly notice IMO.

@splitsensetam, it is preferrence. I personally like to be a complete kit. Also, you can get a better deal from the bodyshop to paint them all together.

As for me I'll be sporting the sides and rear but leaving my OEM front with a 3d carbon fiber lip. It's about personal preference.

It won't look stupid but it'll be noticeable. I know a guy who did this and the front was a little lower than the rest of the car.

It's pretty common to see people change the front only. As long as you stick with stock M Sport design, I can hardly notice it's not the complete kit. I don't think anyone would know unless they are a BMW fanatic.

I swapped out only the front bumper at first. I only added the rear because I wanted a quad exhaust.
If you're ok with dual outlets, save your money and just keep your original bumper. There's a difference but not worth spending the extra money. |

I ordered my M Sport from the factory. But if your case and decision is to retrofit it now, the best way is like you say: starting with a front bumper + inside stuff. Then you may proceed with the side skirts, and then the rear bumper. But until you have the rear bumper done, nobody will really notice that. A great example is given above.
Good luck! |
