Quick update. I was going to wait until I had a few more things to show, but time for modding has been lacking.
The 1-series E82 is not exactly a looker in stock form, but I went into this knowing what I wanted to add to give it a more aggressive presence through various bits here and there, some of which you've seen and some of which will come later. I'm fairly happy with the rear of the car and have bought a nice lip for the front that will go on at sometime, but the side profile of the car has always bugged me. Like many others I feel that there is a pot-belly look to the skirt/door line that puts one off. To resolve this I looked to the BMW Performance catalogue and found their OEM sideskirt option. I feel that this draws the eye from the sagging front-side to the rear and gives it a better, more aggressive look from the side.
