Red face I think I am done (bandwith alarm - and one free set of black OEM exhaust tips)

Dear All,

I finally got to add the finishing touches on the minor mods that I always wanted to apply to my F10. The only thing left that I am debating are the door handles but I decided for no to skip those. Any other suggestions?

Enjoy the pix, some might be good reference if you want to also go for these details on a Singapore Grey M5:

- front and rear reflectors exchanged for matching color
- fender grills in gloss/matt black
- carbon exhaust tips
- 10mm spacers on all four wheels
(btw. makes quite positive handling difference!!)
- rear wing delete
- black M5 badge

Enjoy!

Best,
(H)


P.S.: Forgot to mention. If you are interested in a free set (used) of black powder coated OEM exhaust tips, just reply and I will raffle them off amongst all replies.

Looks great.

The only thing I would immediately recommend is to ditch the dealer plate frame (unless, of course, you have a relationship with them, etc.) - big pet peeve of mine.

SG looks so good!

I wouldn't have deleted the rear wing... It doesn't look right without it. But nice add-ons nevertheless.

I like the slight accent the brightness of the door handles give to the side of the car. I'm very surprised that I kind of like the spoiler removed, I wouldn't have thought it would look that good. And, of course, you rock with the 19" rims!!! Oh, those carbon tips with the angle cut look great as well.

Good photoshop skills on the plate, they all look real, and probably none of them are the correct plate!

Look great. Are these cyba tips? I took my cp black tips off today at the dealer and put the carbon cyba tips on and the size difference is negligible... Wish I bought the straight black polished ones and not the carbon angled ones now.... Great pics. Really shows the Singapore grey in many different shades.

Yes, these are Cyba tips. Car came with the original chrome tips, I then had them replaced with the black powder coated ones, same size. But it always felt too small. Then I wanted to get the Akras but without the sound and price tag of the entire system. Lately, the Akraprovic tips have a cutout on top which I really don't like and that's why I decided for the Cybas.

Mark,

From the couple of folks that participated in the "win some pre-owned black exhaust tips", you are the lucky winner.

Please PM me with your mailing address, I can FedEx the tips out today.

So sorry for the extreme delay with this but I was out of the country for a long while.

Best,
H.
