Maxton front and rear splitter Installed :D

Mizuno · 09-22-2024, 06:19 PM

Edited. Added the rear side splitter. I think it finishes it off subtely but nicely. Still debating on if I need to put on the side skirts or not...

Installed the Maxton Front Splitter V.2 Today. Fitment was good! Had to add 3m tape and then used 5/8 inch self tapping screws to secure it. Will Update Thread once I get the side skirts and rear side splitters on.

Sets it off nicely, especially with the black/gray contrast.

Thanks! Wanted to stay away from carbon fiber (cuz then everything needs to be CF and thats $$$) So I stuck with gloss black to match the window trim and grille.

The gloss black looks great in combination with your paint color. It's a bit classier and more understated than CF. You should consider throwing the side skirts on too, that'll really tie everything together nicely.

How are you liking the Dinan springs? Just need some spacers or new wheels now to fill out those wheel wells!

Yeah once my garage is done Ill put the sides on

Springs are great! Settled nicely and looks just a bit more aggressive imho. Spacers will definitely happen!

I have the Maxton front lip as well as the side skirt, been thinking about the rear diffusers. Only thing is, I hate the big maxton M on the diffusers as well as the lip

tampawright · 11-20-2024, 11:53 AM

how are the rears installed?

SunsetDriver · 02-03-2025, 06:19 AM

Interested in these parts as well. Do you happen to know if the logos/stickers are removeable without leaving any holes, damages or anything like that.

From what I can tell it looks like just a thick emblem. glued on. Prolly easy to pull off. If anything just put a lil black paint on it its not that big

A reseller shop told me they are just “stickers” that you can peel off and clean the leftover glue. I myself also dislike the logo stickers a lot.

Grkcobra93 · 04-01-2025, 09:20 PM

Following this because I was considering installing the same on mine.

Looks great!

Scaz3793 · 04-02-2025, 07:37 AM

Nice

rxconz · 04-03-2025, 06:52 PM

Considering getting this front splitter, any chance you made a video or anything that shows how you attached it? Will be one of my first modifications I do to my 540i so I don't want to break anything.

sadatkhan · 04-18-2025, 02:21 AM

I also just put a maxton front lip on my car

It’s pretty easy, but i needed a helper to get it perfect. Jack up the car, mock it up with some 3m tape to get it perfectly aligned, and then drill holes in it. They supply screws and nuts but that would involve take the bumper off to secure the other side. I just used self tapping screws and it’s holding on fine

I did not. It was easy I used 3m tape and self tapping screws. Alignment was tricky but I just drove up a ramp and used some wood blocks and painters tape to hold it in place while I worked around
