After a couple of weeks of waiting and deciding, I finally picked up my new car, I am so unbelieveably impressed with it! Here are some pics;

Congrats!! Just in time for summer!!

The spoiler is the OEM BMW Aero spoiler. IMHO looks OK on coupes but doesn't flow with the lines of the convertible.

Still top motor m8 [ok

I agree on the spoiler front, I want one of those really subtle tip ones i think and the later spec led lights

Congrats on your new car. Don't think I've seen any silver on grey leather combo's before. Works really well.

Mmmmm silver vert, nice choice [ok Looks like you already have silver indis - the previous owner must have had modability! I'm not a big fan of grey interiors but that looks really colour-coded and tight, and fwiw I don't think the rear spoiler looks that bad but you can get lips fairly cheap so maybe try one of those and see how you prefer it.
As Nick says, Ted can set you up with some LEDs easily and they're a doddle to fit, be a nice first mod. May be worth catching his CAI sale while it's on aswell. ;)

just a thought about your spoiler. Be careful which new spoiler you choose. The one you have is screwed into the bootlid, which means, you'll have holes left behind

Very nice mate, I quite like the spoiler, not many verts have them and I've always wondered why, I think it looks good. [ok

I like. Nice clean vert to add to the club. Deffo change the spoiler but as Fas has said, you will have to get the holes filled and lid sprayed (bit of a bummer).

I know about the lid, but Ive got a good bodyshop that I use, so they will be able to sort it out.

Wheres the cheapest place to get some LED rear lights & spoiler? and how much do these usually go for?

I have seen them on ebay but was a bit unsure of quality etc..

the wheels I fancy are these:

great car buddy! Lose the spoiler though :p Some spoilers from BMW use clamps though but Fas knows a lot more about vert than I do.

Choice of rear spoiler:

M-tech style lip

or

ACS style rear lip (coming soon) [cool

The orange indicator bulbs are blinding my eyes~~ :D

yeah the spoiler wasnt quite to my taste, and i will change it - its the screwed in style too which is a shame but still!

Where can you get black grill inserts from?
