Newly Installed Carbon Fiber Varis Front Splitter!

arivera5 · 07-16-2017, 11:44 AM

Hello guys! Just finished installing the Carbon Fiber Varis (replica) front lip on my car last night!

Take a look and let me know what you think, I wanted something different than the M-sport splitter, and I think this looks better anyways. One before pic and the rest are after

Cheers

That's Nice. Get some OEM CF Mirror caps to set it off. Maybe M performance Side sill.
Looks good .

Very nice, great fit.. definitely get some m-performance side extensions or something similar.

wdeerfield · 07-17-2017, 01:53 PM

wow that looks awesome but id be so afraid of scrapping it up everywhere even at stock xdrive height

Vinboyblue · 07-17-2017, 03:45 PM

its settled I'm getting this lip :0 it looks amazing!

arivera5 · 07-18-2017, 10:13 AM

Thanks for the feedback guys!
Kind of a pain to install, no clear instructions online so be wary lol...

Also we will see about scraping, hopefully I can avoid that

Hey there thanks for the compliments, the wheels are not dipped but actually painted 400m's. Not sure how i feel about dipping my wheels and then trying to keep them clean

The splitter can be found on various places;

ECS tuning has it, JL motoring, and RW carbon (bought mine from RW carbon, because the other two were heavily back-ordered) They are all around the same price I believe, give or take 50 bucks. Not sure how the bottom and hole # is between the 3 places though, I've heard different things.

Oh okay, how where they painted? Tires off and the whole deal? Or diy job? They look great, my 400s are my winter wheels want to do the same.

No idea actually, they were on the car when I bought it.

I'm sure they aren't plastidipped though

Will probably have to get them re-done soon, hit a few curbs changing from 15" rims on my old car to 18's

I'm sort of near the advantage bmw in midtown if you know where that is. I also am not a member of the houston bmw group, didn't know they had one

N33D4SP33D · 07-24-2017, 04:07 PM

Looks great did you add the rear carbon fiber diffuser? I added both to my car and it looks amazing with the carbon fiber tips that came with my mppsk.

No, I didn't add the CF diffuser yet, not sure if I like it or not, hence why I haven't purchased it. Also between the front splitter and rear lip I'm down quite a chunk of change, so it might be a while if I decide on it

Do you have pics of yours so I can see what it looks like?
