Smile 520d M Sport Styling Upgrade Project (alloys, spoiler etc)

I bought this car fully intending to completely changing the way it looks, the standard MSport just didn't look aggressive enough for me.

This is how it started out....


It just looked dreary,

So I stuck some tints on.....







MSport Boot Lip Spoiler next



looking better

Finally the big change... decided it to drop it and get some new shoes for it.
H&R Springs - dropped 35mm
20" Niche Essen Alloys in Matt Black



















Really happy with the way it looks now, just need to get a roof spoiler and matt black kidney grills.

Also the lip spoiler and roof spoiler in black? or silver

i was abit worried tbh, but the ride is still pleasant. its much more firmer and road noise is more noticeable but its much more involving to drive. as long as you wrap the alloys in mid or top range rubber i think its a safe bet. i went with falken

Nice rims! And I really like the profile of the rubber you're running. What's the setup?

My 2c on the roof spoiler is to go body colour as it gives the vehicle a unique and classy line.

Inn't it amazing what a set wheels can do to the look of a car?! Can you pull a couple of tight shots (side and front) so we can see the profile cos it looks like you've achieved the right amount of stretch.

What else you got planned?

Good to see London Fella.
Are you associated to Projex by any chance?
Also, do you mind sharing how much you paid for those wheels?

i am not associated with projex that pic was one i just snapped after the car rolled out of their workshop. i picked up the niche essesns up from them on their black friday sale. got all 4 alloys for £995 which i was pretty happy about.

here are some close ups of the alloys and the tyre set up.

Like those wheels.
I am contemplating with the idea of buying silver as my car is Grey.

Ended up buying Ispiri ISR6!
Awaiting for my car body shop to do certain things and then I will get the car back.

Great job really changed the whole look with wheels and tint. Looks like all your neighbors enjoy BMW's too.

Cool f10, but shouldn't the roof spoiler be blacked out too.

Looks quality!
Did you do the wheels and suspension at the same time? Or did you have a time with one over the other?
