M2 Carbon Bits (Interior & Exterior)

So since buying the M2, i've been buying a few carbon mods.

First pieces i've picked up was the carbon spoiler and rear diffuser (not been delivered yet), pics will follow when delivered and installed. These have come from a company called Carbon Addicts based in London. It looks great and run by a couple of enthusiasts. We will see what its like when it arrives.

Today I bought the carbon interior parts that should have been fitted from the get go like the gear selector, handbrake & the gear surround, god knows why these were never standard as they cost just over £300!

There is literally heaps of choice which leaves me and probably others, with a tough choice. The M Performance carbon is so stupidly priced and its not even made by BMW. I genuinely think there is far better out there, its just finding the nice stuff out of all the crap.

Now all thats left is the front splitter... issue there is i have just over 3/4 of an inch on the standard car left before it hits the deck pulling in to my drive.

The interior carbon parts came from Phil at Cotswold Motor Group -

partscheltenham@cotswoldgroup.com

£285 all in shipped and its easy to fit. Pics to follow in the week.

How much are these in comparison to the OEM ones?
Can’t seem to find a website.
Easy home fit?

Going to be getting the front splitter, side skirt extenders, diffuser and boot spoiler for my M2C when it arrives. BMW will probably want £3k for these parts I expect....

Way cheaper...

BMW Carbon is not even made by BMW. It's all outsourced just with BMW stickers applied under the clear.

Quality can vary a lot...

My spoiler is from eBay. Fantastic quality.

Super easy to fit, taking off the diffuser was a ball ache but with 2 people a breeze. I couldn't remove the 3 middle clips.

Spoiler was easy, used a heat gun to remove the old glue (low setting!) and dental floss, some proper detailers tar remover and applied the spoiler. Looks great

Does anyone have any aftermarket front and rear splitters similar to the BMW performance set?

I was thinking of buying the rear diffuser, front splitters and site skirts, but its mega expensive.

Hi Craig, I'm also up in Aberdeen. How much did you pay for your side winglets? Can you send me over a PM, if you don't want to say publicly.

Cheers

I'm about to get the front bumper and the rear quarters Xpel wrapped in Kintore. I'm starting to see stone chips appearing and the BMW applied plastic patches are not big enough to protect all the area that is exposed to damage (Disappointed in BMW).


The rear Winglets may have to wait until after the winter, I'll see how it goes but thanks for the cost. Love to see some photo's once you've got yours fitted though....

Carbon Addicts seem to offer 3 variations of F87 diffuser (Big Fins, M Performance Style, and MTC style) Which one did you opt for?
