NONONONO!

Sorry but the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM u shud be paying for each part wud be:

Aerokit £1200 (Fitted Painted etc)

Lamps £500 (if there BMW ones)

Vents , cudnt really tell u so lets just say another £100

TOTAL : £1800

OH! and if ur not getting the aero spolier id take between £100-200 off that price so id say ur looking @ 1700 at worst and rougly 1500 for a good deal! IMO anyway

Either way ur getting ripped off imo

I payed £200 to buy and fit my spotlamps (official BMW btw)

Fitted most of it myself mind but if it saves £200 or so I dont care realy!

TREBALZ: Where did you get your aerokit from and fitted for £1000? My dealer says £1500 for the lot.

I think there downloadable from this site.
Its where I got the instructions to fit my spots!

Cheers PhatMini,
If what you say is true (and I guess it is)I might be able to afford the aerokit because I can fit it myself!

see the thing is the garage said that because its a silk green, they would get it sent and they would have to paint it there in the garage maybe thats where the extra cost is being incurred.
