Also presume unit 17 swapped them over for you so you wouldn't know if a diy job? As I'd probably wanna do myself

They are m sport black gloss? If just standard swap like for like I would probably swerve the chance sorry
Will upload pics when home, they are black gloss M Sport + ones.

Unit 17 fitted my carbon ones, watched them do it and they did it in 10mins... But I bet my bottom dollar that's because they do it day in & out!

Let me know if anyone wants a pair.

also got a brand new dravit grey rear diffuser if anyone wants that as I had a Carbon one fitted.
Hi JM13RS - could I ask if the carbon rear diffuser is the BMW M performance. I have changed my rear diffuser to the M Performance. I have painted the gloss black in Dravit Grey while retaining the centre section in gloss black. However I was wondering if the carbon centre piece is more aggressive than the black gloss one?

Which carbon fiber cap is this? From eBay? Do you have a link?

Thanks for the image. Looks good.

At the time I thought the black gloss and carbon centres were shaped the same but now that I see it, the carbon does look to have a more aggressive appearance. I recall at the time there was a significant price difference.

Hi there,

I actually didnt go for any Mperfomance products, as i thought they were excessively over priced & actually had very little carbon on them- It was mainly gloss black ABS!

Mine is a fully carbon one, picture below

Don't have a link as i purchased it as part of a kit. A quick google and these look very similar, however i cant vouch for the quality of their carbon.
