It looks awesome!! Was it straight forward fitting it? How did you do the other side exhaust cover, is there a way to attach it?

Cheers

Someone did the same with the rear defuser and exhaust tips and posted it on face book page. It cost all in £300, and about 20minutes to fit. I think I will try and get a quote from bmw.

Vehicle looks unbalanced with just one exhaust pipe. Also, I do not see a black exhaust tip. Looks like chrome to me.

Both of the exhaust tips are attached to the to rear diffuser, there's no contact between the exhaust tips and the muffler.

Hi Richard,

Is the rear diffuser gloss black? Do the side skirts need changed also to gloss black?

Yes the rear diffuser is gloss black, I'm afraid there isn't an option for gloss black side skirt at the moment, you will have to repaint them if you want them to match in color.
