Yes that's the blade it actually goes under the rocker panel not up the side of the rocker panel. Of you look carefully on the picture on the link it almost looks grey that's all that sticks out of the blade, the black strip on the rocker is a black vinyl sticker with M Performance logo

When I bought them I also thought it went up the side but it doesn't

Here is a close up you can clearly see the blade under the vinyl

So the black part in your picture is actually just the vinyl sticker covering the EB color underneath?

It's personal preference, if you do colour match it then it will look great.

My car in blue has and black car doesnt have the blade only the Vinyl.


The whole Aerokit is apparently functional and there for a reason. The 1st ever F30 racecar to turn its wheels was here in South Africa, originally it was a Sportline, then a MSport with all these parts in Matt black

Does anybody know where I can order the M performance side sills/extenders? I've searched throughout the internet but nobody seems to be selling the OEM pieces. All I'm able to find are the over priced carbon fiber replica's. Part #'s will probably help if anybody knows them.

Thanks
