Colour coded M performance Lip?

I have an F32 in Snapper Rocks Blue, and cant make my mind up if i like the look of a black/carbon M perfomance lip with the colour. It looks really good with black and grey cars but not sure with SRB. Anyway, it got me thinking, has anyone colour coded the M performance lip, specifcally the two parts that come over the top of the existing bumper, and maybe just left the very bottom peice black? Or would I be better off looking at the maxton/Reiger more subtle options in the first place?

I'd say get the front lip in carbon fiber and rock it that way. The carbon fiber will contrast well with the snapper rocks blue.

I'm so jelly of both of your cars. Snapper rocks blue is so sexy. That's the color I was looking for when I got my 440i. It's a tough color to find well optioned.

I don't think so, looks more like 19"s to me. Personally I find the small visible gap between the end of the splitters and the grilles disturbing and would have masked them with black tape.

Yes, those are 20s. I tried to get them in 19s but HRE stopped making them in that bolt pattern. They have 19s for the G series though.

I got lucky with this car. I was initially turned off by the picture the dealer put up. I asked him if he can take some better ones. Once I saw the new pictures I was pretty much sold. The only option I wish it had were the upgraded brakes. It has everything else.

I agree about the gap. I wasn’t aware of it till I installed it. I want to put black tape but I would have to remove the double sided tape and clean it… which is a massive pain.

This is not real carbon fiber. You can easily tell by the pictures. I bought a similar one on Amazon. It wasn't until I received the package and opened it, that I noticed the lip is made of 100% plastic. And the "carbon fiber" is just the style--imitation. Seller gave false advertisement, so I returned it.

Looking for a real 100% carbon fiber aftermarket M Sport lip. Surprised at how hard it is on Amazon as a lot are stating carbon fiber as "style", in other words, imitation carbon fiber.
