Carbon Bits

[Dr_Rick]

Just taken on a late 2016 M2 in Long Beach Blue, and want to get some carbon on the exterior.

I know there's the M-Performance route, and I know of AutoID, but (and bear with me), has anyone had any luck with eBay / AliExpress routes for carbon goodies?

My plan is something like:
1. Carbon kidney grilles
2. Carbon wing mirror caps
3. Carbon front splitter / side of bumper aero
4. Carbon diffuser
5. Carbon side skirts / rear of side skirt aero

All planning / spitballing at the moment, but, I'd value anyone's experiences before spending a fortune on shiny bits.

Only problem with those sites is the quality of the products, try Teddy at SSDD-Motorsport.com at least he is London based (and wont sell you tat) and if you have any issues you can deal with him unlike those asian sites.

I have an LBB m2 I’ve added the Mperformance rear carbon spoiler, wing mirror caps(used) black kidney and side grills, got them from a bmw dealer in Kirkcaldy really good price too.

Do you have a particular contact at the Kirkaldy branch? Feel free to PM me if you don't want to put it here.

Elliot Cutter was his name, he had a proper deal on a couple of weeks ago for the Mperformance Exhaust with carbon tips for £1840 supplied only.

Thanks Ubbs.
I'll give him a nudge and see what he can do. Local dealers are always preferable to distance buying. But depends if his deals are up to scratch.
Not sure I'm up for an exhaust yet. Cold starts in the garage are going to annoy The Boss enough as it is!!

I'd echo pvogue's comments about quality, when I bought my LCI back in Feb I went to Cotswold a week later and had exhaust, diffuser, rear spoiler, front and side splitters and black grills fr and side fitted. Quality and service were excellent!

I held off on the wing mirror caps as I wanted the M mirrors so ordered from AutoID, I'd class them as reasonable quality wise but nowhere near the M-Performance stuff. Clearly that's where the price differential comes in so I'm not complaining but you do see the difference in quality when fitting them yourself.
