im currently saving for an aero kit, which im still searchin for my places to buy from (looking for best deal). i have considered fitting it myself, with major help from a friend who recons we should be able to do it. i ws wonderign if anyone had fitted it themselves, and wether its a good opition or actually really really hard!! any info would be cool, cheers!

Have a look at http://www.motoringfile.com/howto/Ae...%20Bodykit.PDF - it might help you decide if you are up to the job of installing it..

Having taken the front bumper cover off a few times to play with the engine, I would say it would be very easy to install and you would need very few tools as well. I say go for it !

I'd say go for it too. I've changed both bumpers and fitted aero skirts myself and theres not a lot to it.

you should start by asking your local dealer, or even Wollastons who are site sponsors, they might supply to you overseas

If not then my local dealer would be able to help you out with a price and shipping on it

not a hard job to do at all.. will take around an hour to fit the kit..

monkeynuts · Jan 2nd, 2006, 08:30 PM

wasnt easssssssssy as such
fitting the aero skirts then pondering over the two long plastic bits in the box we forgot about made me

u just have to be careful with BMW's one-chance-screws once you plug it in your screwed if you want to remove it again badum tshhh

good luck!
