Hi there,

I'm considering the idea of purchasing the black side skirt vinyl/sticker (without the m-performance logo) to put on top of my non-m performance side skirt.

I have an alpine white BMW F30

Has anyone done this? If so, can you post a picture please? Do you think it will look stupid without the actual m-performance part?

Thanks!

i dont think it would look bad but the curve at the end will be random since it will not follow any contour line of the car. there are reps on ebay of them for like $25 so id start there if i were you.

Has anyone done this? Any pics?

I just thought about it, and why not order some vinyl yourself, and with the aid of knifeless tape, mimic the m performance side skirt. So that way you can dictate where you want the curves and where to end

I was talking about this a while ago and a couple guys on here were going to order them. You can get the viynl cutout from Bimmian or other places for a hundred and some change. i did a photoshop of it and a rear diffuser to go with the lines on my 2015 428xi gran coupe Alpine white.

So no one has actually done this? (looking for real pics if possible)

Thanks

So far looks like nobody has? I say go with the $25 eBay replicas and see how it is. Worst case you are out $25 and some time spend on install. Not so bad.

If no one else tries, I'll probably end up ordering some and giving it a shot. Only thing I'm worried about is the quality of this vinyl but for $35 I guess you can't go wrong. The one I'm looking at on eBay also comes with the m performance lettering

If anyone is interested I have a pair of unpainted M Performance side skirts with the black overlays and M Performance sticker for sale. You can PM me or text 561 926-four seven 30.

Go for it! And post pics lol. However I'm not sure if I'd include the m performance sticker or not... That might be going a bit too far?

[BimmerF32_430i]

Ehh it's included so I'll see how it looks. If not I'll just take it off

[BimmerF32_430i]

So I found a listing on eBay selling the decal in matte black and carbon fiber. Y'all think the carbon fiber would look weird?

[BimmerF32_430i]

well i ordered the matte black version. delivery estimate: May 5- may 20. lets see how it goes

[Doyvidlah]

Nice!

I think I like that better than carbon fiber, but it depends on the other accents on your car I guess.

Yeah definitely better than CF. I have the mirror cap and rear lip spoiler in CF but I think it'll look odd with that panel being half CF haha

[ramellis65]

finally someone buying it. cant wait to see it finally

[BimmerF32_430i]

The interesting part is that the seller contacted me asking if mine was an M sport because his vinyl doesn't fit the m sport skirts. I wonder how it's gonna be like

[RarScaryFrosty]

I bought a kit myself to attempt usage on the stock side skirt. I just haven't had the time to properly wash off my car, but will try it out sometime in the next few weeks. I'll post pics once done.

The kit I have also came with optional M performance stickers, but I don't want to be a poser, so I'm going to leave those off.

[BimmerF32_430i]

Just installed one side. Currently taking the bubbles out though. Unfortunately my panel is in pretty bad shape so some of the imperfection from all the rock chips and whatnot is showing if you look very very close. But from afar I think it looks good. What do y'all think?

Last thing I figured when I stated reading the thread and saw you wanted to do this was that your car will be black lol...regardless it actually looks good at least in the pic. Nice job

black is definitely more forgiving for mistakes. I know most of the people were hoping for a non black car haha. The seller had an option for matte black, gloss black, and carbon fiber. I'm sure the gloss or matte would look great with an AW.

I put the m performance lettering on and it actually provides a better contrast. I'm gonna end up taking it off later on but it's not too bad.
