Custom bits - pics wanted!

So subject to the Covid19 impact on dealerships opening I should have my M50i in the next few weeks. I'm planning on asking the bodyshop to do some custom bits pre-collection.

The car is Arctic Grey with full Shadow Line trim so I'm thinking:

1) Boot spoiler painted gloss black on top to match the sides.

2) Wing mirrors painted gloss black

3) M Performance lower side sill decal but without M performance sticker ( )

As an alternative to 3) I'm contemplating the full side decal but not sure how this would look on Arctic Grey?

Has anyone already done any of the above? Shame there aren't any OEM splitters or MP exhaust/ tips available yet to add a bit more aggression.

Would it not be cheaper (and more sensible if leased) to get all of the above wrapped?

Here mine. Sadly it has the M performance decal on the side so I can only apologise for that...

It has the full carbon pack including the diffuser, mirrors, air intakes and winglets on the bumper corners. The decals are just the lower black strip, I didn't fancy the upper one.

Those are actually parts however. Not paint and not wrap.

Look great but I would prefer everything on glass black on a white car (I am biased as that's how I have it)

Pointless spending tons of money on expensive carbon which doesn't really do anything on a heavy suv

Yeah I’ve got a load of carbon on my M4 but not overly fussed on the options for the X5 aside from the mirrors and diffuser as they’re very expensive for what they are . Wish they did an OEM splitter too.
