I genuinely can't make my mine up. If for some reason my needed replacing and the standard and aero skirts were the same cost I really don't know what way I would jump.

Perhaps a z4m bumper would do the trick then? Mines got a good low stance but can't help but think it could look meaner
Z4m bumper makes it instantly meaner looking, best mod I ever did.

That's where I got mine from. They come from Lithuania and they sting you for delivery because nobody will take them off them. I spent weeks chasing them and then had to pay another €180 to get them here after already paying the initial delivery charge
Hello, ,

I wrote you an email and you haven't responded. Email was:
We have tried dispatching your parts but they are 190cm long and no one from the courriers can take it from us unless DHL. DHL shipping costs 180 EUR.

Best regards

Did you also get a fixing kit with the side skirts, or did you use the existing ones when fitting the new parts?

Hmm, so how much (£) were the actual skirts? A return flight to Lithuania is only £54 at the mo.....

Sorry I cant help with the rest, though I do love my Aero skirts! I thought I was buying them cheap, until I waited and waited... realised they were coming from BMW in Lithuania, then nobody would ship them so eventually my 'cheap' set of skirts doubled in price just to get them here. :(

I don't think they arrived even then, after hounding them for ages for why it wasn't here yet, a set magically appeared at BMW down the road.

Surprised of the three you don't think much of the skirts, my order would be Skirts > Front Bumper > Rear
Very pleased with how its looking :thumbsup:

£293.11 for the skirts initially and whatever €180 was back then, at today's exchange rate it would total £451.55 plus a month of chasing them to find out where it is and several false delivery dates.

I'm still not 100% on what they were all about, when I'd finally had enough and called them a final time it took 20 minutes from that phone call to arrive at mine from the local BMW.

I bought a spoiler about 8 months back and have been pondering ever since!

I will be having it sprayed and fitted soon like this!

Thoughts again (lol) ?
