Paint match is spot on in anything but brilliant sun then it looks ever so slightly whiter But I have mineral white so it might just be the way the light catches it Probably a better match than BMW could manage

I order things from America on eBay from time to time and I always ask the seller if they're willing to do this, which they're always happy to do. |

My lip from bc moto slipped through customs so was lucky as well.
However when i bought my CYBA tips, i got charged VAT and handling, even though he clearly marked it as a gift and of a low value. I phoned up customs and they said it came from a commercial address so it can't be a gift. I tried to argue he's my friend and he sent me a gift but they weren't having it. Scumbags. |

I've just bought the lip from SSDD Motorsport, not the best instructions in the world for ordering stuff. Informed them via PayPal what colour to paint it and clarified which lip it was (had enough experience with retards in the past to know better).

Alright guys?! New to the site, was just browsing and this thread caught my eye. Very tempted to jump on the band wagon and order one from Mr BC Moto!
Couple of questions though - has anyone bought the matt black kidney grilles from him as well? If so, what were your thoughts? Also - my baby is silver, but I was thinking of going for a slight contrast and maybe getting a matt black lip spoiler [to go with the grille]. Will be getting a medium tint on the windows too.. You get the idea Just wanted to see if see if anyone has already gone down this route and maybe has any pics they'd like to share?? As always, any input is much appreciated. Cheers guys, Azzy. |

i bought one from taiwan, had to heat it up with a hair dryer to get the curvature right but once that was done it fitted perfectly. and colour match was good.
but ive used teddy @ssdd for other part and he is top. |

Just dropped in to my local dealer who said the lip spoilers for the e92 & e93 are different.
Bugger ... BC Moto charges almost twice as much for an e93 spoiler. Last edited by TheBlondeFella; 08-01-2013 at 12:17 PM.. |

My spoiler just arrived and Sod's law the wife has taken my car to work with her this morning. Paint is pretty good (although i obviously cant comment on colour match just yet). There are some slight lacquer runs on the lower rear edge but I'm not too worried as once installed I don't think it will notice and for £50 I cant really complain...
Has anyone else had issues with the clear coat? I'll probably fit it tomorrow once the cars washed and grab some pics to update this thread

/\ great pics!
Well its not fitted yet but I did put it in place to check for fit and colour match - which I'm pleased to report is spot on! Colour match - hard to capture but its as near as damn it Bear in mind its not stuck down yet - fit and finish is spot on Stand back and admire Fingers crossed actual fitting goes as smoothly as the tonight's trail run! I'm planning to use some cardboard taped to the body to help guide the corners to help me position it and lots of time and patients! I just hope we have nice weather for the morning

Pleased to report fitting was easy...
This might not be the best way but I found it the easiest. First I lined up the spoiler as I wanted it and taped it into position. I then taped some cardboard in the correct position for each corner to use as a guide and then removed the spoiler, added the 3M tape and put it back on the car. The cardboard helped me position it back in exactly the same position and I had already removed the backing tape off the small strips at each end leaving just the long middle section to pull out as suggested in the instructions. And there you have it perfect positioning, easy install and hopefully a rock solid mounting My spoiler came from BC Moto on eBay and for £50 is a no brainer - it completes the rear end nicely IMO
