Have you added the side 'ailerons'? I am still debating in my head if I should add these to my black roof spoiler, but haven't seen a car with them, only pictures from BMW's web page.

Hi Zlatko,

I did fit them, in original shiny black plastic (too Glossy IMHO)... and I removed them after 3 days

MMm... removed the 3M sticky on the underside of the fins, because I will give it 1 more chance...and have them painted Black (regular)...and will refit & see...

The cool factor is not quite there IMHO in Original Gloss Black Plastic ...so am hoping the Black (regular) paint will match the rear lower bumper and make it look more harmonious as a package...(the lower rear bumper was factory OEM Gloss Grey, but I had it resprayed also Black because I fitted the rear mud guards - that's my logic)...

Will post new pic next month...

Hello Mr Phil,

I went to BMW Dearlership and order them...you can do the same thing !, and I'm very pleased because It gives the whole car a better shape IMHO...so, you can order them from your dearlership and remove those gloss black window trim surround - I let BMW do the complete swap...

I am envious your G81 ! as long as It's in a shade of any the darker grey Metallic colours, the brushed Aluminium will make your M3 /G81 "pop" out a lot more visually...

Example - this one...which I am dying for as it has a ADRO front nose and look at the silver alloys ! now imagine brushed aluminium window trim, it would be amazing !

Thanks JG66! Will be waiting for the final result. I ma not sold on these as they have some extra "ornaments" and kinda not fit properly with the overall design theme. Where did you get the steering wheel stick on aluminium buttons? Are these easy to install without having to disassemble the wheel?
WOW! That M3 with ADRO looks fantastic! This is how it should look from factory!
I still prefer cerium grey to brushed aluminium for wheels and grill, but what you have done is also a nice combo!

Would love to have it with the M Sport Package and Individual Peridot Green paint but unfortunately here in the Philippines, they have it specced already by the distributor and have a very limited color choices to choose from. I’m still very happy with the spec nonetheless, and surprisingly, most of the customers here in the Philippines prefer the sedan more than the Touring, which makes it quite a unicorn.

To more drives with this guy.

TACORA RED is damn nice IMHO ... (if anyone wants to do a straight swap, non electric Red for Black , including Door panels non Bose, let me know ? Am Cheltenham GL52 based)

You called your car 'this guy'...well mine is a German Fraulein Vixen 100% 'Made in Germany' - See Glass underside sticker ... my wife is jealous

Curious about the window frames as I've neve been keen on my shadowline ones. What is the process to have them changed?

Also, where did you get that coin tray for the interior and was it easy to fit?

Btw, congrats to everyone's pride and joys, all look amazing, some very nice colours and detailing OCS levels going on here! Wish I had some private space to better care for my own G21... alas in London its pratically impossible.
