Just had my car fitted with a brand new "genuine" wing that i bought from the $tealers, but i am not happy at all with BMW as it turns out that the wing has only been approved by BMW and isn't what i would call an original :x . The bloke at the bodyshop said he was having a few problem fitting it so checked the sticker and in small print it said it was an "approved part" part.

There was one too many holes along the top of the wing and there is a slight gap between the grille and wing! :x
Luckily all the panel lines are fine.

So i wouldn't bother wasting Ԛ£130 on one of these just buy a cheap one from somewhere like GSF and ECP!

So want to make a complaint to Sytners about this bit i think it might be a bit late now its sprayed and on the car. :roll:
