Car looks great for 100k!
I've got 90k on the clock. Mine could do with a nose job and rim refurb in 2023

Nowhere currently, I know Carbon Factory sell one but the quality is poor.

You might be able to buy a genuine Varis one if you have £1500. If I had the money I would personally but it's a mental price to pay.

I'm not feeling the aftermarket splitters at all. Mine came with these horrible chintzy shiny black plastic bits stuck to the bumper when I bought it, which are coming off and going in the bin tomorrow. I don't think the matt kidney grilles are OEM either, so also following said garbage into the wheelie bin.

The grills are certainly not OEM. THey are M reps and looks poor. THe black OEM ones are clean. As for the splitter, i like it. But i think it needs to be carbon...

If the front splitter is a good fit and sound, why not colour code the black bits to match the car and leave the lower lip black? Would still look purposeful but a little more subtle than it is.

Also do consider that if they have used Betalink or other such glue you may well trash the bumper sections below trying to get it off, meaning a respray and making good in anycase. If its just held on with tape you should be OK though.

This was my old car where I did just that OK its black but gives the idea.

Fairly new to owning a BMW but my neighbour wanted to do a photoshoot of my f32 so I thought I'd share his work.

F32 435d, ACS springs, gloss black front splitter etc

Just to confirm, those measurements are for an F30? I know it’s different for the different body styles.

Mine came fitted with chrome but was toying changing to black as everything else is black.Changed wing mirror covers to the M series black and fitted smoked dynamic turn signal to mirrors.
Had you thought on chrome to kind of mix with wheels,are the front grills gloss black or door trims black?If you are going for all black look personally i would take gloss black.

Grass is always greener, haha. Worst case scenario I’ll take them off, they aren’t OEM and therefore weren’t expensive.

I didn’t want chrome because I felt it would stick out too much.

My grills and calipers are gloss, window trim and m performance trim are matte.
