Hey all,

Slowly but surely I'm modding the car. Today I installed the side skirt extension blades:

(ps the car needs a wash

)

They look excellent.

Can I ask how they attach? Were they easy to fit?

Yea as they are oem it was a perfect fit. They come with 3M tape already attached to the extension, you also have 15 plastic rivets on each side. I did not use any extra adhesive as it does not require it. U need to drill 15 holes (6mm drill bit) on each side on the existing side skirt, then use the rivets to keep the extension attached. I also added 3 screws on to each side just to be safe lol

Looks great

S1NGH · 03-12-2016, 02:46 PM

Looks good, I will be doing mine in the next couple of weeks, minus the stickers.

Easily doable, took me about 1hr as I wanted to make sure it was a perfect fit. Just need two people so it's held and lined up as you drill the holes through

S1NGH · 03-12-2016, 03:07 PM

Did you use a ramp?

Thanks

Scissor jack and bottle jack

as I can't go up a ramp due to the car being lowered and the m performance front splitter

you've been farmed · 03-13-2016, 04:46 AM

Nice job!
I didn't think I was going to like those, but I do!!

Anyway, you are improving the look of your car, but still have the awful Xdrive badge attached!

What is the thinking behind this?

Lol to get the Quattro guys thinking twice

B58_Touring · 03-13-2016, 06:11 AM

they look really good

you're persuading me to part with the extortionate sum of money they're asking for two bits of plastic. I think it needs them to match the front lip

I got mine through Cotswold BMW, Phil is a top bloke who would do a good deal

£80 for the vinyl and £275 for the blades all inc p&p

Sub £300 for the blades makes it much easier to swallow, nice bit of discount you've got there. Think they're £325 on the BMW site

saltyamigo · 03-14-2016, 04:59 AM

They look good. I'm surprised there are no eBay replicas for the side blades because they seem very expensive for what they are, I would imagine they would be the easiest part of the M-Perfromance body kit to replicate with no fitment problems. Loads of front and rear splitters available but no side extensions apart from some carbon ones.
