BMW M Performance Grills & Spoiler Delete
I just had eAs (European Auto Source) install the BMW M Performance grills and do a rear wing delete on my M235i. I was supposed to get the M Performance spoiler installed, but it turned out mine was defective, so I could only test fit it.
At least it doesn't look half bad wingless. Might be a look some of you guys out there will like. The grills look great IMO. Really changes the front of the car, despite being only a small change. |

That looks awesome, haven't seen too many red cars but loving it with the black grills and spoiler!!
What was the problem with the spoiler?

There was a bubble or some sort of distortion with the clear coat on it. Hard to photograph it, so I don't know how I'll even show the dealership where I got it from since they are over 200 miles away. Gonna be fun.

Nice, will you get CF mirrors too?
Was it hard to remove the stock spoiler??

M performance grilles are, without a doubt, the best bang for the buck mod there is. $120 totally transforms the front end. Great looking car.

Looks great. I think it looks better without the rear spoiler!

looking good! I love how black accents look on a red car. Perhaps paint the side mirrors black as well?
Is the rear spoiler just held on by 3M tape? Curious to know how difficult it was to remove it.

The original spoiler is on with adhesive from factory. Have been advised to put new one on with 3M for ease of removal down the road but think either is good.

Melbourne Red with gloss black accents is never a bad idea
Shoot us a message if you need a set of gloss black mirror covers. Our painters just started shooting them this week.

I got the parts from a dealership (price matched to getbmwparts though) and had eAs install them for me. The grills are a quick install, so it probably won't cost much depending on the shop you go to, but the spoiler will take quite some time, especially to remove the factory tape (it took a couple hours for that), so probably 1-2 hours of labor charge. |

Damn that looks really really nice...that touch of black against the red is seriously awesome.
Very nicely done!
