Kit was handmade by me :D , yes im fitting a diffusor but im still waiting for the right cherrybombs to arrive from an ebayer called motorguy, ive been waiting nearly 2 months for them now (he sent the wrong ones)
Havnt called performance BMW yet as i want to get her finished first and still have a considerable amount of work to do, wheel refurb,powerflex bushes,new brake calipers,coilovers etc etc

As I've said before, not to my taste but looks f*cking well done. Top notch work.

And... I suggested the diffuser! :woohoo:

Out of interest, do you own/work in a bodyshop or is this just a labour of love?
