Re-installed the M-Performance Spoiler. The previous one was loosing contact, seemed to raise naturally. After a long wait on the backorder, Finally got it fitted. Hopefully it stays firmly fixed.
Once the steering wheel is fitted, Going to install Bilstein B14 to lower the ride, roughly about 4 fingers in gap at the moment. Last edited by knightsabers; 07-09-2015 at 07:01 AM.. |

wow inspirational build. Very nice man, I know lots of people in Asia that mod their cars and deal with the same luxury tax hurdles. It just makes sense to purchase a lower trim and drop the money on mods to make it better!

This is mainly due to luxury car taxes of $8500, Stamp duty tax $4000 & other registrations for around $1000. Logically, I rather customize something unique for much less. Last edited by knightsabers; 06-05-2014 at 07:46 AM.. |

Thanks, glad you liked it. The Black draws outs the cars lines especially with the M Sport facelift. I purchased the kit from a local BMW reseller who painted & installed it. Can't wait to get it lowered too, installing some Bilstein B14 PSS for a more aggressive stance and control.

I got the seats upgraded at a leather upholsterer. The seats are much more supportive and aggressive looking, I agree the Dakota just doesn't suit the car.
