Has anyone in the UK attempted anything like this?

Saw this Japanese picture on Instagram and have to say I think it looks :wub:

I think it looks a bit disproportionate because its meant for a much bigger car!

But it does look nice :thumbsup:

I think the 1M bumper conversion looks more suitable TBH

Realised this was the F80 front end and updated the thread title accordingly.

I always thought the 1M front end looked a bit 'cutesy' rather than aggressive. Apparently the fitment of the kit is not too great either.

I like that it looks pretty :evil:

Don't like the eyebrows, but the rest works for me

I actually really like that but feel only an //M can get away with it, or at least an M kitted Z4 as the twin piped rear would help balances out as well as the bonnet

Of all the horrible things, that is one of the less horrible ones.
2008 Z4MC: heavy wheels | crap suspension | skittish rear end | wobbly engine | not enough induction noise | underwhelming turn in | inconsistent braking | lardy battery | chubby steering wheel
2006 Z4 2.5si: gone
