Yea looks great.
How are they fitted? In existing holes or do you have to make new ones?
And we're they painted at delivery?
The splitter is fitted using bolts (some use the existing holes and others have been drilled). Splitter needed to be painted.

The side skirt extensions are secured firstly with vhb 3m tape (I bought the 19mm wide stuff) and once secured I jacked the car up and used the supplied self tapping screws to drill through both the splitter and the existing side skirt - 10 each side equidistant along the length. They were very very easy to fit. I bought these gloss black.

I'm pretty much done now, the Wheels have a bit of white worm coming through around the caps so I'll get them refurbished (powder coated) after the summer, when I put my winters back on - May go for a darker colour and I might get the mirror caps but not decided on that yet.

It looks really great.
I'll proberbly pull the trigger on a splitter and blades for mine.
What kinda diffuser do you have? Im thinking I need something there to do a nice finish.

I've still got the standard diffuser, I don't intend to change tbh. I've seen the rear splitters from maxton but they are designed with an exhaust at each side, which I also have no intention of doing so options are limited.

Im still confused on the front splitter paint.
If I order splitter and side blades in gloss black both would be painted right?
Looking to fit on F36

I was sold on magic drift lip since I didn't like the M one going over bumper.
But this being offered already in gloss black the color I wanted I'm going with this one I believe.
Probably get front lip and side blades from them
Just need to decide on diffuser.

How are the side skirts holding up? i am now going through an order for the same F32 side skirts to put onto my F36. You mentioned the fit is great, have you had any issues since your post?

Thx!

Maxton don't do a rear diffuser but they DO a front splitter, also as an alternative, a company called KSB Styling do this one on ebay, they go under the name of performance_styling,

Nope, they are fine. Still recommend them.

They were relatively easy to fit. I fitted them myself with a combination of 3m VHB tape and the supplied plastic screws.

Looks good. I've put an order for the same front splitter but the wait is about 6-8 weeks. The Maxton v2 Splitter looks good too but it sticks out quite a bit and I wonder if that thing would catch on speed bumps.

I've also got a black sapphire coupe, and these photos look great. I'm waiting for delivery of the splitter. Just wondering 2 years on, whether you are glad you went with this style over the OEM style front splitter?
