1 Series Coupe Accessories

Hey guys,

I am looking at getting BMW Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps along with BMW Carbon Fiber Rear Deck Spoiler and Aluminum Pedals from US.

Was wondering is anyone else is interested, so we all can chip in for the air freight?

have a look at the below link and let me know if anyone is interested in chipping in with me.

cheers,
Ronnie

yup, im interested...
was wondering tho with the mirror caps... from the brochure it seems that the mirrors are different sizes...... with the driver side looking smaller than the passenger side... have they changed this for the Aus cars... and if so would that mean US stock wouldnt fit?

I would have to check that Mate, but I doubt they would change that, I am tipping it would be the same in Aus, Euro and US.

I'm keen, probably just for the rear spoiler and mirror covers. Have you got any sort of quote off them for shipping as yet? I'm waiting on gravityautosports to get back to me with a quote also...

No havent had a quote for shipping yet, was looking at getting some numbers first.

I might ask for 5 of each?

Did you get a quote at all? There's 3 of us so far, so I'll drop Gravity Auto Sports another email and ask him to quote us on 3 spoilers, 3 sets of mirror covers, and Ronnie's pedals...

it seems like we have about 3 to 4 confirmed.

Might wait till the end of this week to get some more numbers, and hopefully get a few more website choices?

does anyone know places in euro that sell the mirror backs and spoiler?

I have been talking to Drew from Gravity as well. He can fit 3 rear spoilers in one box. There is a limit of saving for group buy here guys, due to tax implication. If we buy over $1000, we will get taxed for it. Anyway I am interested in the rear spoiler, the mirror covers, the shadowline grill, and potentially the rear diffuser. Woud love some interior cf parts too but I think the door handle is the only thing that would be the same due to us being RHD. It would look pretty stupid if I have a combination of different materials.

Have you guys also thought about who you are going to get to install this? Or are you guys planning to do it yourself? Maybe we can do a "Group Buy" on this as well.

good point about the tax and customs... i wonder if it would work out cheaper getting two or 3 at one time?
with regards to installation, i assume the mirror caps and grille would be straight forward (think i saw one for the grille somewhere here). Not too sure for the spoiler though, is it just a glue? or is it a little more complicated than that?

Yeah it's just glue. No big deal, all you need is a hair drier and maybe a string to get rid of the original one, then get some form of glue (apparently it doesn't come with it) to stick the new one on. The problem for me is that I live in an apartment and have no where to work on the car. So even a simple thing like installing the rear diffuser with a few bolts will be difficult for me. They are very strict in the garage. No working on car full stop. There are some really nice cars in the building and these owners probably have their own workshop somewhere else and will never require them to touch the car! Lol.

Wayne, I received an email from Drew overnight to this effect, and am keen to take part in a group buy for a rear spoiler, front grilles and possibly mirrors.

The tax implication is an issue, but only if Drew marks the contents of the parcel as being valued over $1000, is that correct?
