Larte CF hood & rear wing on F95 X5M Marina Bay Blue -- fitted + fantastic!

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Thought this was worth a new thread ... new Larte carbon fiber hood installed, plus rear wing, in Marina Bay Blue.

Very impressed with the fit & finish of the hood. I was tempted to go 50-50 CF and MBB paint (CF in the lower portions), but preferred the OEM look of all-MBB.

Easy to fit, paint was perfect, makes the front look more beefy IMO.

Rear spoiler was fitted with adhesive, left 24 hours to cure, quite subtle but I like the extra detail at the rear now.

Lots of photos tell the story!

Interested to hear thoughts, positive or negative ...

wow....that turned out better than I thought. love the hood.

The trunk spoiler i'm not really digging. I think its because the curve of the spoiler is the inverse of the window which bugs me.

It's the RKP one, bought through IND:

https://ind-distribution.com/product...rbon-front-lip

... I like it, although I think the lip extends out a little much for my taste, but the fit and finish is A1, so I'm happy with it

I'm 99% happy with the hood ... the fit and finish is excellent, my only slight gripe is that the black vents are plastic, rather than CF. Thinking i may have the vents wrapped in either gloss black or CF when I have the hood PPF'd.

The spoiler I'm OK with, but a bit meh. It's bigger than I would like, and the shape is a bit odd. I was after something a bit smaller and straighter, like the Urus, so may swap it out if I see anything:

As someone who routinely rails on crossovers and the people who spend so much time and money on them instead of a "real" BMW, I gotta say this looks pretty good. Big refresher from the "guys I tinted my windows it's a build" type threads

Very nice!
Now all you need to do is to move the steering wheel on the other side…

That's sad the hood vents are plastic. Probably the one part of the hood that's not CF is also the only one that's visible/not painted. Funny

Car looks incredible
