Carbon trim or not??

Mr_Patience · 05-06-2009, 01:52 PM

Just polling your feedback on this one but I have been having some thoughts on swapping out the interior brushed alu for a full set of oem carbon trims...

If you don't mind the cost, then go for it, it looks fantastic. I have the rear carbon spoiler and have just bought the rear diffuser and front diffusers. Tried to fit the rear one just now and cannot work out how to unclip it! Will get a mate to fit them at the weekend. Bloody flimsy looking as well, worried I may crack it!

How much would the set cost and are you buying from bmw.

Cheers, costs were pretty much inline with what I had in mind and apparently the interior trim parts are very tight to remove.......
