Car is still stage 0, as I can't get any stage 1 upgrades; but I found some body carbon fiber. Phase 1: wheel, paddle shifters, pedals, side skirts, wings, spoiler.
phase 2: front splitter and rear diffuser, still waiting.

Here's how she looks so far:

Super well done buddy. Look forward to more. I also like the carbon parts on the steering wheel and the ACS pedals! It's taking shape I see and I also noticed you coded the cool Alpina cockpit display. That is definitely one beautiful car package there!

Absolutely that does not go unnoticed! Also good choice with those floor mats I find them much nicer than those very thin velour ones (these used to be better / thicker on previous series).

looks good, not a fan of the fins on the front bumper or the pedals but one thing for sure you need is spacers for those wheels it will set the stance/look better.. good luck and keep on moding..

The canards "side wings" are just glued on and I'm sure they will fall off at some point. They cost $3,000 and took 5.6 hours of labor to install. Nearly $4,000 and they are the size of one finger on your hand. Smaller than the palm of your hand.
